sem osc

[spacedad]

could you explain how to connect the t osc,zap osc,lorenz,i'm not sure what dc means or d1,d2 and what's the gate for? they don't have pitch,like the se osc.

oh,just connected the 'zap osc's gate the midi-cv pitch and it worked.
what is 'i' in t osc?

the osc is an attractor, like a bouncing ball algorithm. d2 is 'gravity,' d1 is energy loss over time, eg. thicker atmosphere.

it's like throwing a ball into a two-dimensional space with gravity in on a gate event - i is the force ('impulse') of the throw, dc is where it begins.

zap osc preceded it. they sound slightly different :p

if you haven't tried 'allpassperc,' feeding an impulse into a cascade of allpass filters has a similar effect to t osc, and doesn't have the self-oscillation t osc can produce.

i recommend brush for percussion.. it's ~like a bitcrushed sample generated by a seed value.

i didn't think much of my lorenz implementation. i wasn't able to create a successful algorithm for the complex number z-plane power transform whatever thingy.

thanks ru,i guess they're more percussion oscillators than tuned one's,cool,i'll experiment.
i was just throwing some together to make a quick mad synth.
