Faculty Vacancy in Technology in Music and Related Arts (TIMARA)

The Conservatory of Music at Oberlin College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Technology in Music and Related Arts (TIMARA) to begin July 1, 2024. We seek a colleague with substantial experience and exceptional vision who will serve an active role in program development and curriculum design while engaging students and faculty from across the institution.

I've been working on a new pitch quantization algorithm. I mostly let myself be inspired by the algorithm that VCV Rack uses for it's quantizer from the Fundamentals module set. For playing around with it, I implemented it in WLambda.

Here a quick demo of the Quant quantizer node in HexoSynth. There are still some things left to do, such as adding a min/max octave setting for this too. And of course documentation and automated tests.

For composing more generative patches I am implementing a Quantizer node now. With that HexoSynth can finally make sensible pitches from randomized or arbitrary control signals. #modularsynth #modular #synthesizer #opensource #freesoftware #foss #linuxaudio #audioprogramming #dspprogramming #programming #audioplugin #softwaredevelopment #vstplugin

I did some good progress in the last weeks, implemented almost every important piece for a simple synthesizer already. There are many more modules to come until I call it a mostly finished modular synthesis environment. One of the top most items is still preset handling thought...

Coding lots of new features means coding lots of tests too. I'm slowly working on the to be done tests that piled up. Here is a test case for the PVerb reverb node. Testing a long decay in a small room.

Released v0.1.0-alpha-3 of HexoSynth. It has a ton of changes, bugfixes and most importantly: features! New nodes and a completely new mouse/matrix workflow. Check it out on Github:

Added another node due to a sudden inspiration/urge. The RndWk node is a random control signal generating node that does random steps of configurable width. The built in slew rate limiter allows for smooth transitions. I still have no quantizer to lock the pitches into a scale, so you will have to bear with this rather scary sound scape for now!
