Newtonian Bouncer
A modulation source using the forces of gravity to control your instruments.
DESCRIPTION
This ensemble showcases a control I made called the \"Newtonian Bouncer\". A modulation source using the forces of gravity to control your instruments.
The controller is similar to the \"Bouncer\" by ~s0|_-\Rx~, but here you have control over all sorts of things to change the physics of the world the ball bounces around in. Gravity, an invisible sun (!), friction, the bouncy-ness of the walls, etc.
Also has trigger outs that fire whenever a wall gets hit by the ball (one trigger for each wall).The ensemble itself was just whipped together to make some noise and show off the controller.
I don\'t know if the control is all that useful musically, but it\'s a lot of fun to play with! It can also be endlessly chaotic in a way that is tied to the laws of the physical world, and, as such, sounds cool when modulating atmospheric sounds - more \"natural\", in my opinion, than a completely random source. I tried to make a simple ensemble that can do some good examples of this. It\'s also (in my opinion) very well commented throughout.Instructions:Go through each preset, pressing the \"Fire!\" button on the \"Cannon\" to get an idea of what the ball can do with each setting. Included is a frighteningly long readme file that tells you everything you could want to know about the unit.
It\'s my first posting here, so suggestions are welcome.
- Enjoy!
