I hadn't heard of that one. It sounds like it runs an input through an envelope follower... Scream 4 has a CV output which does the same thing. So I could use that to take any sound and, say, run it through Thor's low pass ladder filter with its cutoff point dictated by the lazily-followed envelope generated by Scream 4. Is that the sort of thing the Mutator does? I'm curious now... a healthy guess but no G2 patch mutator seems like a cool built in feature but any program with the ability to aggregate parameters can do this no? i suppose you would have to set it up manually like an Abelton live macro or something to that effect.

I'm curious, how useful do you find it? sexual reproduction? I often find it very useful and practice it at least three times a day (boom-tish) the way you can select what (and what doesn't)goes thru the process very useful especially for isolating say just sequencer settings and clocks to get many motif variations or endless glitchy sounds or fx at extreme sound settings only Edited August 11, 2010 by soundwave Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/56909-best-digital-modular-enviroment/page/3/#findComment-1391460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 ok i think i misunderstood it, is this the equivalent would you say snap/random isolating knobs from the Reaktor snapshot randomizer/morpher?

kcinsu Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 The patch mutater is in constant use when I use my nords. I just wish it was a built in feature on the synth itself, and not just in the editor. It's probably one of the most useful sound design tools out there... You can come up with so many patch variations so fast... Unfortunately you can only have 8 variations per patch.... I wish that number was larger. So for functional purposes, you can store 8 variations. But when you are working on mutating, you have a temporary cache for up to 24 (i think) variations. You can of course save multiple patches based on the mutations... They just won't be loaded in the same patch.

Guest chunky Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 matlab, can you give any examples of what you're doing with that you can make oscillators filters any modules etc yeah? is it like electronics workbench / multisim ?

impakt Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I think he's trolling. I guess it's possible to generate some "music" with it, but it would be extremely counterintuitive and just dumb :p Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/56909-best-digital-modular-enviroment/page/3/#findComment-1391616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
impakt Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I would like to mention Energy-XT, a great lightweight DAW with a 100% modular backbone that lets you use VST(i) in a modular fashion. It's cheap, great and Norwegian! http://www.energy-xt.com/ Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/56909-best-digital-modular-enviroment/page/3/#findComment-1391631 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoeB Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) It wouldn't surprise me if some people had used such complicated, non-music-specific software to make music. I've made a few sounds in Python and, most stupidly of all, PHP. At least Python has a wave file writer in its library. With PHP, I had to get it to output raw PCM, separating the higher and lower eight of the sixteen bits by hand... And Csound is only slightly simpler, in my opinion.
