Glacial Communications

Another improv music show.

I’ve finally uploaded an improved version of the Shortwave Emulator AudioUnit I put together last month. I think it’s a considerably better likeness of shortwave radio. I switched from a bandpass filter to a resonant lowpass filter. I actually used this version at an impromptu gig shortly after releasing the initial version.

And here’s another new effect – The Glacializer. It’s a rough approximation of Chris Carter’s Gristleizer, as heard on many Throbbing Gristle recordings. It seems that Sonicbirth’s oscillators are rather clicky at the low speeds they’re running at here, so be warned, and try not to run it too loud.

You can grab either of these in AU or Sonicbirth format at the Software page.

Hmmm, looks like KVR is bringing back their Developer Challenge. I’ll have to try to come up with something for it. Anyone have any ideas?

This ended up becoming some kind of live performance. I was pretty much just using my Yamaha AN-200 and Boss DR-202 in sync with each other and attempting to make something non-crappy. I tossed in a few samples, but didn’t have time to keep up with them.

ApulSoft is now doing Universal binary versions of his free AU ports. So far it’s just Crayon Filter by Betabugs, and Big Tick Audio’s Cheeze Machine (but that one’s a biggie, because it’s a damn good string machine).

Now if he does daHornet and the C3 compressor, I may not need to use my trick for running GarageBand in Rosetta

Update(6/13/2007): C3 compressor has been ported. w00t!
