New ALEPH scenes

analogue01 · 2015-06-08T01:24:13.651Z

Is there another place were we can host these (and other scenes)? Just realized the aleph sharing page is 404 dead with the old monome website… archived somewhere?

archived somewhere?

Some of the links on the new site are bad. The old site is still accessible via archive.monome.org (just add archive in front of an old URL)

Got it! Thanks

Love this thread
I was thinking about making some really basic delays and found this article. pretty basic but a nice ref I thought
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may04/articles/synthsecrets.htm

looking for a good/simple tutorial on sending cv out from aleph to hardware synths. lemme know if you have or
see one. still a newbie

will build some uber simple delays from this article soon and post.

Check the aleph tutorial 7 for the cv info.

A super duper basic ping pong patch. Ready to be (and probably needs) expanded upon a great deal.

Interesting article on how chorus effects are built. I tried to make one in bees last nightbut its not soup yet.
If anyone has a good ( or bad ) chorus please share would love to dissect it and learn from it.

More Creative Synthesis With Delays

it’s possible in Waves but not in Lines. AFAIK there’s no way to detune buffers in Lines ( @zebra might be able to correct me here?) without interpolated reading, so there’s no modulation possible ( unless you want a super glitchy/clicky chorus, which can be quite cool too, then just keep shifting the del value

mike · 2015-11-17T12:57:31.685Z

yes glitchy in lines would be interesting but I’m looking for more lush sounds so waves it is, then try for glitchy. I was messing making a ping pong delay and when the delay was super short it would have a really nice sound- hence what got me thinking chorus. But my mind stayed in lines foolishly.

You can modulate the read head position without any glitch for a similar effect.

mike · 2015-11-17T23:04:26.057Z

@ubu
I’m away from the aleph but just thinking would create a Lfo to modulate the read pos ? Or maybe split the sig and feed it into itself delayed … Just thinking out loud here

ubu · 2015-11-17T23:57:33.015Z

You can do both actually. Its more like a flanger tough, I guess. Also you can use a square lfo and use the fade parameter to crossfade between the two read position you have set with the lfo. The effect is pretty interesting.

dspk · 2015-11-22T13:23:43.031Z

i’m not sure i entirely get what you mean.
Do you mean modulate pos_read?
it still has to have a linear increase/decrease in value to be able to hear anything. Do you mean set the read_pos using a METRO and ACC and vary the speed/value of the metro? This still glitches for me?

ubu · 2015-11-22T21:34:50.073Z

The easiest way is to connect a metro to a toggle connected to the pos_read of a very short loop, use del_del for feedback and the fade parameter to smooth things out. Its a little unpredictable but i don’t have any glitch.

Are these still available anywhere?

Thanks!
Heath

dspk · 2016-02-13T11:22:37.684Z

They’re all here now

Thanks so much! Just picked up an Aleph and looking for some scenes to get a feel for it before I start tackling my own.

dspk · 2016-02-13T12:06:47.260Z

the factory pack i made is a little weird - it uses a lot of preset management so the encoders can do lots of different things. i’ve kind of changed my approach now so that in each of my current scenes the encoderd have just one job each… found it a more natural/fluid way to play. I’ll post my current set of scenes up - @tehn what’s the best place for posting Aleph scenes now?

Is the documentation for this set of scenes available anywhere online? I’m revisiting some of the scenes, but I’ve forgotten the controls, etc. The link in the original post no longer works.

dspk · 2017-02-12T08:20:35.441Z

hmm… i can’t find a copy of them anywhere… i think the controls were similar to the recent set i put up (i.e. buttons change mode) there is a video tutorial here which might help https://vimeo.com/124805949
have you checked the newest set i made here Aleph scenes?

@tehn are the monome aleph sharing archives kept anywhere? http://archive.monome.org/docs/aleph:bees:sharing seems to be a dead link now?
