A Retro Analog Synth emulator
Under construction.
To use the Analog implementation, load tb303.so and create an actor of type AnalogActor.
AnalogActor messages
In addition to the messages understood by all generator actors, the AnalogActor understands the following messages.
If the optional parameter time is specified in any of the following messages, then
the corresponding parameter is linearly modulated from the old value to the specified value over the
duration of time seconds after receipt of the command. In the case of the commands
SetAll[Param] (which set the value for all handlers spawned by a particular actor),
the default [Param] is always set immediately on receipt of the command, regardless of
time.
- SetFreq hActor x
SetAllFreq hActor x time
- Set the default frequency for new instances to x.
- SetFilterCutoff hActor x
SetAllFilterCutoff hActor x time
- Set the default filter cutoff for new instances to x.
- SetResonance hActor x
SetAllResonance hActor x time
- Set the default resonance for new instances to x.
- SetEnvMod hActor x
SetAllEnvMod hActor x time
- Set the default envelope modulation for new instances to x.
- SetEnvDecay hActor x
SetAllEnvDecay hActor x time
- Set the default something-or-other for new instances to x.
Analog handler messages
In addition to the messages understood by all handlers, the handler for the tb303 algorithm understands the following messages:
- SetFreq hSound x time
- Set the frequency to x Hz.
- SetFilterCutoff hSound x time
- Set the "vowel color" to x (0 to 1, default 0);
from 0 to 1, the sound goes through oo, oh, ah, ee and gets louder
at the same time.
- SetResonance hSound x time
- Set the narrowness of the filter to x (0 to 1, default 0).
At higher values you can hear individual harmonics.
- SetEnvMod hSound x time
- Set how much of "modulation" SetEnvDecay does to x
(0 to 1, default 0).
- SetEnvDecay hSound x time
- Set something or other to x
(0 to 1, default 0). It's kind of hard to say what this does.
