I just did a zoom in, on the GUI, looks very well laid out. Many options, tooDavenH wrote:Cycle...

No samples involved, no external fx, no resynthesis - this is all easily done by hand. Credit to JS Bach and Scriabin for some of the melodies.
More info soon

My god it's full of stars...
Most intriguing interface. I assume a mouse pointer (controller) can interact with each graphic pane? Is the 3-d wavey bit at the bottom some kind of Envelope? Big fan of what appears to be an octave-based spectrum display
Interesting...very. At the very least beautiful to work with (or just watch during a sequence)..Would be really nice to project the interface in live performance Cheers!

Thanks Scott!
3D wavey thing - that could mean the waveform editor (bottom right) or the waveform 'surface editor' bottom left. They're both views of the time-domain waveform.
I'll record a quick vid, I think you'll like what you see...
In the interim here's a pic of the unwrapped phase spectrum, the other half of the frequency domain view. It's not always this pretty, but sometimes

Good questions. Yes each panel is a functional editing environment, nothing is there just for show. The 'mesh' is hidden unless you mouse over (though you can have it always revealed, optionally).snigelx wrote:I assume a mouse pointer (controller) can interact with each graphic pane?

Mm, I did consider this. Almost everything can be edited as a note is playing, and visual feedback (updating of the surfaces / spectrogram) is realtime and well optimized.snigelx wrote:Would be really nice to project the interface in live performance Cheers!

This looks like something that needs a touch screen interface! ipad app????

How is your website coming along? We definitely need a page to go to that has all of the info in one centralized location. But I do admit, this thing sounds incredible and the interface is truly elegant!!

And Granite is really nice too. But this is clearly something entirely different. Really interested in seeing more about this "Cycle" project.Neon Breath wrote:You obviously need to listen more to Alchemy audio demos… And ambient music as wellrealmarco wrote:
