Creative Computing - Week 4 - Sound Generation - 27th of March 2008
The one true Code of arpeggiation..
Arpeggiating modulating frequency streams is unusually tricky in SC at first. I have currently only discovered one tool up to the task - "round". Round takes two arguments and rounds the first one to the nearest multiple of the second. So, if you feed round a continuous sine wave (SinOsc Ugen in SC land) multiplied by the highest value you want it to reach as its first argument, and give it a realistic number to round to as the second, such as 500 rounding to multiples of 50, you'll receive 10 arpeggiated notes per cycle. Simple? No.My code for this week creates and sets in motion numerous SinOsc Ugens. It arpeggiates some and continuously modulates the frequency of others to produce an epic and ever changing stereo battle for sine wave supremacy.

At the risk of a virtual punch in the face, may I humbly implore you to consider using PNG or GIF formats for your text screenshots? You may even find the results clearer to read, file size is smaller and it looks better when Blogger resizes the image too, as they better suit 16 colour images and rasterised text... on the other hand however, I have nothing to say
FIGHT!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!!
haha i can hear how this sound appealed to you!
The picture is only for vague visual stimulation to break up the textual monotony - it is not meant to be read..
