most interestingly of all, it can be the basis to zoom in and out of the
recognised source and its endless sonic modulations.
For example, setting the playback position of a captured piano note
shortly after the attack phase, with a grain length of approximately
300ms with a gaussian shaped texture and a slight spray will produce
a very convincing piano drone, especially when using a more modest
grain count, as the spray will ensure that not one grain is exactly like
another. In contrast, reducing density to a single grain, changing the
texture to sawtooth or pulse and reducing the spray will be like a stutter
or beat repeat effect where the length will decide on the speed.
After years of excitement and frustrations working with the software
based
piano+
system, I am now delighted to see these processes
available in a Eurorack module. With Jason Lim’s technical expertise
and interface design, informed by his musicality and instrumental talent,
arbhar
became so much more than I had initially imagined.
