Hi all,

Here's a patch I've been working on. It's a simple synthesizer based on mapping the transformation of an elementary cellular automaton. The rules of the cellular automaton are adjustable, and so are many other parameters including the eight overtones. This patch loads one possible sound you can make with it. It sounds best when played from a velocity sensitive keyboard, but you can also just play it on the computer keyboard letters A-K as the white keys and W-U as the black keys.

Open CAS_Main.pd and turn the volume up to start jamming.

Enjoy, and I would appreciate feedback.

Here's an updated version of my cellular automata synthesizer. Plug in a keyboard, mess with the sliders, frequency aspects, envelope, and the rules to get some interesting sounds.

You can use the [del] object to time the hits. You can connect each message to the oscillator sending it the new frequency with a [del] object between each message.

The [del] takes one argument in milliseconds, and you can write different arguments depending on how long you want it to be in ms before the note changes.

Good luck!
