*Sharing* Ryoji Ikeda - Supercodex: Gen~ Code

marcooder...'s icon

Hello all,

I spent a few days trying to replicate a sonic texture from Ikeda's Supercodex, track #19, which I find lovely. I think I did a pretty good job and the waveforms look very similar.

Everything is hard-coded in gen~ - no parameters whatsoever - and the patch basically reproduces one wavecycle. I hope, however, that it could be a good starting point for people (like me) who like Ryoji's style.

Load the project, press spacebar and listen.

Please note that the patch modifies your DSP settings immediately on load:
-sample rate 44100
-io vector size 64
-signal vector size 64
-takeover 0

I hope that you will enjoy it and play around with the code!

Marco

PS: using Max7, I hope that sharing a .maxzip file works.

Hi Marco, just trying to dig into this a bit now. First of all, that sound is amazing, I must say. It's definitely evocative of Ikeda.

So, inside it looks like you're basically making a "handmade wavetable", splitting the waveform into 8 bits that function differently?
