Cycling '74

RadioGamelan is the first in a series of pieces which seek to embellish the 1960’s notion of “action scores” (embodied in the music of Christian Wolff and John Cage, in pieces which specify the “how” of performance, rather than the “what”) with computer programs that enable specific types of performance. RadioGamelan allows each performer to choose their own tempo, and freely combine that tempo with those of the other performers – creating shifting polyrhythmic patterns. The specific rhythmic process allows pitches, amplitudes, and timbres to be chosen freely, while the piece retains a unique character.

Abstraction that creates a x/y speaker matrix to control your multispeaker setup's amplitudes. It just scales the radius to a value of 0-1.

Simple Max For Live patch which implements the concept of unquantized amplitude variations.

This patch was created to evolve pads, drones and any kind of long sustained sound throughout time, but interesting results may come out of applying it to any kind of different dynamics.

The "multi-outputs" version has an additional toggle button (MULTI) which allows audio routing of individual channels to separate tracks. For this version is required Ableton Live 10 or higher. To listen to separate signals, activate MULTI, open a new audio track in Ableton Live then use the Audio From dropdown menù to choose the track where the device is located and the corresponding input channels.

Live only accepts stereo channels for internal routing:

L channel goes to channels 3/4;
R channel goes to channels 5/6.
The dry signal is always output from the device's main channels.
