This name is an invention, but this is how it works. There are n poles (3-64), which are attracted by force to their neighboor. By increasing the number of poles, the computed sound gets more complex with a lot of harmonics, where the waveform oscillate itself by the pole forces. If you be patient and try out some combination you can find some very nice atmospheric sounds. The amplitude between the poles is cubic interpolated.
Note: Changing the poles count affects crack sounds, since the waveform resets without respect to any zero crossings. Tipp: You can click the slider bar to change the poles count without sliding. Update: Added rate parameter, which affects the speed of each pole.
Caution: Old Macs may produce noise.
This is a bug - upcoming audiostudies will run fine.
This is great, Can i use this in my record! Hey can’t wait to see the source wink wink ;)
i love it. sounds like the “ancient krell music” in “forbidden planet”.
wow, its wonderful!
Wicked synth this is something I’d love to use myself
Cool! But, Sound classes in AS3 doesn’t provide any methods to generate sound. Are you using not documented functions of sound classes or what? I can’t imagine how is it possible :(
It’s really amazing. I’m wonder how it is possible.
Wow, thats amazing
I love your work - it’s amazing!!!
Is the sound generated in flash? Or you used flash only to make the interface? I ask you this because I always wanted to know how to link Max/MSP patches with Flash interfaces.
Thanks!
Amazing! Can I use it for my phisics lessons?
this is an awesome device, could i have just the part that produces the sound if it synthesizes it from scratch
lol reminds me on lotus game amiga
Kind of reminds me of the part just before Pink Floyd’s “Welcome to the machine”.
Damn, I didn’t realize the term “old mac” includes the latest iBooks! All I hear is very loud static.
COOL! it sounds like dial up connection
reminds me of Aphex twin or something along those lines
Perfect to recreate the close encounters message ^^
Amazing, simply amazing.
It’s so eerie, yet so awesome…
I can make it sound like some of Giygas’ themes.
LOL you can turn this into a FM Synth nice!!!
Hello, I’d like to do an Wavepole Synthesizer, but analogy. I mean, a device that works like this, but with no computer. Can anyone help me?
The best!!!
Could be the Turing test for your subwoofers. Set all sliders to the left, then slightly increase frequency or rate.
this is like a Alien Sound\!!
I just made all of the dogs in my neighborhood go nuts. Bravo.
With the right settings it sounds like an old propeller airplane :)
Fun to play with…
i made it sound like a muscle car idling :)
LIKE IT LOVE TI!
Leave the frequency in the middle, turn the rate all the way up, and leave the poles relatively low. Then drag the attraction around. Probably the best way to get a melody out of this thing. :)
Alternately, if you’re a masochist, put on headphones, turn the volume all the way up, and maximize the poles. Ouch.
sounds like something you could hear from off of earthbound
It’s like playing with an oscillator. It’s like Machinarium sequel music.
awesome ! if you put all levels down and increase only the RATE and you have HEADPHONES with good Bass levels …. oh my god !!!!!!!! my head is about to explode !!!!!
I could use this for my Dub step music. Thanks!
reminds me of marble hornets
When you just change the rate of the poles really quickly it reminds me of the Portal soundtrack.
my comment wooowooooowoowaaaaawiiiii
wickiiiiid
