Gate Division / MIDI Remote Demo
Posted 5/17/2003
This new demo file shows off some of the new features in Numerology
1.1, including gate division, the slewing of pitch, and the
use of MIDI remote control for live improvisation. This demo
uses the Kalimba patch of SimpleSynth
and sounds like something Iannis Xenakis might have written if he
played M'Bira. It is called "The Joy of Division".
Listen to the MP3-format recording here (2.9MB). The
Numerology session file is also available.
Numerology Review At CreativeSynth.com
Posted 4/02/2003

CreativeSynth.com.

Textures Demo
Posted 3/12/2003
Here's something unexpected from a MIDI sequencer and a very basic GeneralMIDI
sound source: burbly, spaced-out, glitchy, granulated textures
and near-patterns. Created with Numerology and
SimpleSynth using
a not terribly complex arrangement of modules.
The session file is available here (download
tips here), but it unfortunately has too many modules
in the main group to be opened by Numerology in Demo mode.
However, there are two audio recordings, one wet, (with a Chorus-Delay effect), one
dry.
