980 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Modular Synthesis"

The inspiration for this track came from a stereo cross-fading delay patch for modular synths i found, created using caustic 3. 2 with my akai mpk mini keyboard as usb-midi controller with a bit of a tangerine dream style.

Sound obtained by using some of the tassman step-sequencer along with the analog synthesis module. Then adding reverberation effect inside of tassman software and directly recording. No sound editing. No mastering. No limiter.

Sawtooth waveform of frequency 440hertz and 5 seconds generated with audacity.

This the result of the assignment 10 given to us in aspm course at upf.

Basic treatment of voice with csound algorithm.

Output waveform from the assessed lab for speech processing (lasc11065). The wave was created using the festival speech synthesis system version 1. 96 beta (july 2004), with one of their own available voices (male, scottish english).

Aggressive fx effect for a special use in track. Delayed and compressed. Made in music studio.

A weird nice little string i've made using synthesis.

A weird sweet string made using synthesis & heavy usage of granulizing.

Es e synth in logic, used a low cutoff point with a fast lfo to create the effect of a helicopter flying in the distance.

An example of a string sound synthesized using the karplus strong algorithm:https://en. Wikipedia. Org/wiki/karplus%e2%80%93strong_string_synthesis. Random noise is cycled at 325hz, and fed back into itself, with a simple filter to average two adjacent samples. Sound generated using the go-sound golang programming library:https://github. Com/padster/go-sound. As part of the demonstration program:https://github. Com/padster/go-sound/blob/master/runthrough. Go.

Granular sound.

This sound i made with a python script. The script simulates a 2d-network of 13x13 identical masses connected with springs. I 'feed' one mass in a corner of the network with a 'chirp' of 400-2000 hz for one second and the system resonates at its characteristic frequencies. I 'listen' to the resonating system in the adjacent corner. The decay of the sound was build in, but the last half second i edited the volume to zero. The code took a few hours to execute. You may want to change the picture of this sound to the frequency-domain. Yo! awesome! nerd-pride! :-).

Heavily process of a hammering sound, to make a pad. Made with granular synthesis. Sample tune to a.

Blok modular set to bang on random keys/throw random parameters in various places. Sort of a kind of fm synthesis but i'm pretty sure blok can do a lot of extra things like place filters/waveshapers after the modulator but before the main oscillator. Don't want to give away much else but you can improv random textures by drawing in a waveshaper window/right-click to drag the drawing from one side to another. Also you can use the atan button to scale the notes on some sort of curve by distorting the note values. I could've added delay/reverb/eq/ ambience but i wanted it to be as dry as possible because that's personally what i look for, raw sounds that you can choose to change if you like. No edits aside from normalizing the. Wav file.

Don't know what to call this patch jet. . .

1 looping envelope and 2 vclfos in a dance (chain connected). I think its harder for this combination to find a nice pattern - equilibrium. It happens sometimes. Maybe the mixture between positive and negative cv confuses the modules. Makes it harder. I start the recording with one of the vclfos in vco-mode. After about 17 sec i swith to lfo-mode. Records and hope that a pattern should emerge. I have been listening, and looking at the wave form, in different modes, but i'm not sure if there is a pattern in this recording. . . Maybe to advanced for me. There is - some -sort of pattern repeating every 22 sec. Or?.

Some random and a "bad" analog delay.

Playing with looping envelopes that create rhythms.

Another sloth lfo test. I wanted to see - expected to see - cyclesrepeating. I don't. I have x controlling frequency and y controllinga filter. This recording is 5 minutes so there should be some repetitiveness. . . It's a regular sloth. . . I see 48 second cycles but they are not the same. Cool. Chaos.

I have built a nonlinearcircuits sloth lfo, the regular version. Sloth is a chaotic lfo. The output is based on the lorenz system. It is a system of ordinary differential equations. It is notable for having chaotic solutions for certain parameter values and initial conditions. In particular, the lorenz attractor is a set of chaotic solutions of the lorenz system which, when plotted, resemble a butterfly or figure eight (very much from wikipedia). The sloth has two outputs x and y. Think of them as coordinate pairs. The output will probably never repeat itself but there is a pattern. I have built the regular sloth it usually takes approx 15 seconds to make a rough figure 8, one cycle in the “butterly”. The knob changes the chaotic pattern. At some settings the signals will spend more time in one strange attractor than the other. Now i’m testing the module in different ways. In this sound i have connected white noise to a filter. The filter frequency is controlled by sloth (x output). In this patch i have set the initial frequency at 12 o'clock. . . The output sound from filter goes to reverb.

I'm thinking graphic in this patch. . . Maybe not obvious if you don't have the same picture as i have. . . Anyway. As i realize the same patch on my real synth graphics will be submitted on soundcloud - not here. Maybe i could try to do the graphics in ascii but i dont.

Made this drone a couple days ago time to upload. . .

Nice ambient modular synth sounds on repeat.

Really simple patch. Cv from nlc sloth to quantizer (doepfer a-156), via attenuverter. Triggers from doepfer a-160(161). But a tone is only generated if there is a change in cv from sloth. Its not 100% generative :-) first there is no cv connected to the oscillators. I connect them one at a time. The noise is also controlled by the same sloth. The analog delay is connected to barton musical circuits (bmc) 4 quadrant multiplier and panner acting as a panner, controlled by nlc jerk off (still a sick name on a great module). The ehh drum sound is generated by bmc decaying analog noise.

An engine sound (propeller plane maybe?) that i synthesised using my modular synthesiser and a complex fm patch. It is thunderous. Hope you enjoy and please send me a comment if you use it in one of your projects :).

Boink. These are part of a set of "boink" samples i made using a nord micromodular randomly fming to itself. They're really useful for minimal or glitchy techno and tech house. In the spirit of hitting 10000 samples, i've got about 200 more of these, so if you like them get in touch and i can send some more. . .

Maybe a little overlong but it was trimmed down from a 45-minute recording. Try slowing it down to like 5% for some good acidic sounds.

A modular “jazz patch”. This is straight out of the modular synth.

Right channel the sin-wave. Left channel the output from uoki-toki polivoks vcf when i manually sweep the filter frequency. Resonance at max.

A bass line created with uoki-toki polivoks vcf as sound source and doepfer a-124 wasp as filter. The wasp filter is modulated by dinsync modseq.

Decided to call this sound "electronic modular rhythm" since i found only one other spot on the net with that combination of words. Probably is there some sort of mistake to write like that, but now we are two to make that mistake. This is straight out of the modular. No processing but amplification. Please find a part that loops nice in your ears.

This was not what i was planning to do. Not at all. But i think this sound was kind of fun. I torment my intellijel μvcf a little. This time i edited the sound a little in audacity (eq, compressor and limiter).

The phonogne sampler can not handle as long samples as morphagene. I descided to make a phonogne version of mithimightbe's sound https://freesound. Org/people/mithimightbe/sounds/407072/.
