Is It a Bird – Insights for better decision making
I’ve recently experimented with the Partch 43-tone scale, here in the Wilsonic app, sending it over to the Audiokit SynthOne in order to play it with those sounds using the overlay I created for the Sensel Morph, and I was curious to try something similar with the Audio Damage Continua synth. Unfortunately there’s no easy way to send the tuning directly from Wilsonic to Continua but it is possible to go over to sevish.com, to the scale workshop there, where the Partch scale is available as one of the presets that can be loaded.
I’ve set the base MIDI note to 60 and the base frequency to 261.626 Hz, which corresponds to an equally tempered Middle C. That can then be exported as a .tun
file which can in turn be imported into Continua. And voila, the Partch scale in Continua.
The nice thing about Continua is that it offers MIDI MPE which means that you can alter the pitch the timbre of each note independently of the others. So, for example, I can alter the waveform of the 5th, or its pitch, or the root.
And so suddenly, in addition to the scale, you have a whole range of expressive possibilities at your fingertips.
This (workshop?) window on Vesterfælledvej has always stuck me as having a strong Dada/Bauhaus quality – even more so in the picture I took of it last September.
Today’s #lockdown photo
I’ve created a little project for myself to get out and take a photograph each day of the week; somewhere other than the local supermarkets or taking or fetching my daughter from kindergarten. Our half-deserted city and its #lockdown streets.
