The assignment for this week's class is to download a freeware program from the site databaseaudio, make something with it, and blog about the results here. For this assignment, I decided to play around with two different programs described below.
Analog Box 2 is, as the website describes, a "low level, circuit based, modular software synthesizer." Sounds are made by right clicking to select components and connecting them together in circuits much in the same way as electronic components. I used one of the tutorials provided to create a FM Synthesizer. (There was also a MIDI tutorial provided, but I didn't get very far into it.) Overall, the layout seems simple at first glance, but the functions of each button weren't always obvious at first glance. (The fact that there were onlyu two tutorials written didn't help matters either.)
Hydrogen, is an electronic drum-kit simulator provided from this site. In this program, I arrange beats from a list of different instruments and use them to compose different soundtracks. I found this program much easier to use, and very good for what it is trying to do.
