Chapter 1.3: Randomness, Probability & Stochastic

By Rolf Kasten on June 27, 2023

Chapter 1.3.1: Some Basic Definitions It's time to talk about real randomness now, randomness, which we can add to the networks, that we have build so far. To get at least a whiff of a systematic approach to the surprisingly huge amount of techniques and modules wearing the word “random” in their names I ́d […]

Chapter 1.2: Other devices generating regular cycles

By Rolf Kasten on June 17, 2023

Chapter 1.2.1: Looping Envelopes If our envelope generator is equipped with an end-of-cycle output/signal jack, we can make the envelope loop. There are advantages and disadvantages (like always) of using a looped envelope instead of an LFO. The biggest advantage are the two, three, four or more stages of the envelope, which allow us to […]

Chapter 1: Real Randomness vs. Complex Cycles

By Rolf Kasten on May 24, 2023

Chapter 1.1: LFOs When we hear “permanently changing” most of us will surely think of sample and hold units at first.And, yes, S&H units are important engines to drive our generative patches. But what about clock generators and LFOs (the latter being able to serve as clock generators as well)? “Why, LFOs generate regularly repeating […]

Chapter 0: About this e-Book & Generative

By Rolf Kasten on May 23, 2023

A foggy environment that does not always makes sense. Do you know this? You see and hear somebody doing something interesting, something beautiful, something you would like to do too. You try. It ́s not what you had expected it to be, it ́s not how you had expected it to be. So you fiddle […]

Index: A Systematic Introduction To Making Generative Music With Modular Synths

By Rolf Kasten on May 23, 2023

Welcome to this first part of a really long series of articles, articles which will enable you to produce not only “just some kind of” generative music, but truly great generative music by following a strategic and efficient but also joyful approach. There are going to be more than 200 pages (well, in my book […]

Modular Synthesizer Ensemble

By Robin de Geus on May 17, 2023

The “Modular Synthesizer Ensemble” is a social-acoustic and participative music project and offers the possibility to make music together in an ensemble without any previous musical knowledge.The project makes it possible to design the process of creating electronic sounds with the analog Modular Synthesizer. The participants experiment, improvise and compose together and perform the results […]
