Looptober 2024

This year for Looptober I decided to use my Arduino (in combination with my modular synth rack) for every track. The source code for each day's track is here and the tracks are on my Funkwhale server

Track notes

1 Logistic

Using the logistic equation at an almost-chaotic point to control pitch

2 300 Baudrillard

The noise is the logistic equation as an audio-rate signal, sequencer is also the Arduino

3

Using my basic sequencer to drive three tracks. It goes out of sync because the basic sequencer has bad timing.

4

I implemented a Karplus-Strong algorithm last year, this is two tracks of that with different filters applied in the modular.

5

Using some very dodgy wavetable synthesis I did last year

6

More of the wavetables but this time the aliasing adds to the effect

7

Modifying a sequence as it's being played.

8

First experiment with generating clouds of randomised gate signals

9

More sequencing and a 7-TET tuning system. The timing errors really show up at the end of this

10

Using all four of the DAC's outputs as LFOs to drive a bunch of settings on two tracks of synths

11

A beat made with Karplus-Strong through a Doepfler waveshaper and filter and echo

12

I relearned what I'd forgotten about Arduino interrupts and got a sequencer which can count time properly.

13

Accidentally made an FM synthesiser by plugging the Karplus-Strong rhythm into a VCO's pitch control
