Re: Scanned synthesis scratchiness
Hi David,
Thanks for the kind words! ^_^
As for the Scanned Synthesis Matrix Generator, I'm a little confused as
to what you are asking in regards to a score event. The editor allows
for opening, editing by GUI, and saving of matrices from and to files.
I apologize if it wasn't apparent as to its function as I realize now
that the documentation for this tool is not in the manual. (I will be
writing documentation for it shortly and will include in the next blue
release which will be going out tonight).
I've found that Scanned Synthesis is a really rich sound generation
method. Besides sustained and percussive sounds, I had also once
achieved a very overdriven electric guitar-like sound when using lots of
glissandi with the instrument. Completely wild!
