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](https://music.mikelynch.org/library/albums/31/)
## 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
