A happy little jam I made.

All the sounds are my voice trough pd.

The patch uses hermholz~ by katjav to find the pitch, and it has the analysis part of a vocoder.
Then, instead of a soundsource trough a bunch of bp filters, it uses banks of oscillators that have a formant by themselves, like PAF, vosim and FOF.

Another trick it uses extensively is ring modulation of the input signal with an oscillator that has the same pitch (up or down one or more octaves).
This sounds great whith the CZ-oscillators by Maelstorm as the modulator.

It also tracks the main formant of the input, and uses that as the cutoff of a muug~, and also as the res freq of the CZ oscs mentioned above.
Great fun, controlling a filter by going ou-wah....

Finally there's a kick, snare and HH that get triggered when you make corresponding sounds.

Hope you enjoy it!

This is amazing. Could you upload the patch you used? Some really awesome synth tones from just your voice. I want to try my guitar through it.

Thanks!

I've been meaning to upload it, but the usual story applies: I need to clean it up and never got around to that.

So here it is in all it's dirtiness

You can use it with a guitar, but it will only make predictable sounds if you play monophonic.
Also what makes the sounds come alive are the vocoder like qualities, and you can't really do that on a guitar.

But don't let that stop you, and please let me know (or even hear) how it sounds!

Oh, and it uses tons of externals and abstractions that are not in extended... Sorry!

How did you put this together? Did you just sing overdubs in real time, or cut it up in a DAW or something?

I love the breathy mong voice sounds, demented like afx windowlicker.

Both. I came up with the meat of the thing using sooperlooper, and then arranged, overdubbed, edited and mixed in Ardour.

Thanks! Not sure which sounds you are referring to, but it's a great compliment to be compared to Aphex Twin!

mod, I'm documenting the workings and heritage of this patch at the moment, and discover that I used a kick from your DIY2.

So double thanks to you!

cool happy to see it getting some use

are you still considering adding an integrated looper, or have you moved on? it's really a cool idea and i'm looking forward to doing some live craziness with it. suppose sooperlooper should work just fine, though.

btw-- near future, i'm going to try and put this on a single-board computer (one in the $100 range, i suspect-- raspberry pi would never stand for this, lol).

anyway, thanks for doing this! sooo coool!
