CC1 Week 2


Plogue's Bidule has astounded me once again, this program is absolutely amazing. Not only is it an effects processor, but also a modular synth. YOU CAN CREATE A DIGITAL VERSION OF THE MOOG!!!! This modular process has been seen a few a programs before bidule, however these were very restrained, and usually to just effects. This freedom is great. Building the synth give you and insight into how other synthesiers work and their processes. My instrument was very simmilar to the original poly synth that we created, however i added extra oscillators to the phase offset input and additional envelopes. In addition to this i added an elaorate delay process. this delay creates fantastic atmospheric results, however is hard to control. In my mp3 i have played the instrument on its own first, and played with the parameters (especially the phase), then i added the delays.
Enjoy!!
