and snare drum sounds by controlling the sound input. In this algorithm, the bass drum is
synthesized and the timbre of the snare drum is created by your voice.
Tips for using this algorithm:
The basic method of producing sounds in this algorithm is making a sharp, short muted
sound, something between “T” and “D” sounds and a tongue click. It should be done in close
contact with the microphone. You don't need to sing a bass note like in beatboxing. The bass
note will be synthesized by the algorithm. In fact, all you need is a short signal that triggers
the synthesis. However, the timbre, duration and other parameters of the triggering sound
actively affect the sound you get as a result, and should be explored extensively.
Learn how to create a snare drum sound. With your lips slightly away from the microphone,
quickly exhale into it and slowly fade out, starting with a T sound, ending in shhhh (Tsshhh)
In the end you should get a sound resembling a snare drum. If it's loud enough, the algorithm
will recognize it, interrupt the bass drum sound and let through the snare sound from the
microphone. Learn to make grooves by alternating the bass and snare drums.
Things you should try:
1. Create drum sounds while inhaling and exhaling (more precisely, while moving the air
in and out of your mouth, because you don't need to use your lungs for this). You will get
different attacks for the drum that can be used for creating accents. For example, exhale
on the downbeat and inhale on the upbeat to create variations.
2. Try singing different notes at the same time as triggering the bass drum.
3. Create a smooth fading-in attack with an increasing low sound.
4. Blow into the microphone. Also try making a fading-in attack by gradually increasing the
air pressure.
5. Trigger the bass drum with different unusual sounds.
