Experiments with noise

Hello friend.

Do I understand correctly it is about tuning EQ5/10 peaks to note frequencies to shape noise?

I have made a tuned keytracking library, and it also includes a formula device preset that can track the EQ peaks frequencies from a Key Tracker device.

Look here, this library will install some doofer presets which don’t include the EQ, but also a lot of formula device presets for various devices which include the formula for the EQ freqs!

The formula device preset in question is called “Ktrk1.1 - TrkEQ”

You have to set up a Key Tracker device, set it to full range (C-0 to B-9), and hook it into the “Key” macro of the formula device that has the preset loaded.

Then the formula device can track an EQ peak frequency, and it will be perfectly in tune to the note from the key tracker!

You cannot track the frequencies polyphonic, so if you want to real-time shape the noise with multiple voices, you have to make a dummy instrument for each voice and program it for a key tracker->formula-device->EQ frequency chain for each voice.

You can of course also just use a single tracker/formula, let it set a note frequency by hitting the note on keys, then setting the formula to control another EQ tap frequency, until you have each tap set up to it’s dedicated note/frequency, then resampling the result.

The doofer has further controls if you look into the code window and scroll down, for example the “fromnote” and “tonote” can set up a different keytracker range, you can modify bend and detune controls and transpose, trigger a harmonic of the note frequency, or change the A4-frequency.

Hope you have fun with this!
