pharmacy and contraption3 v1.0

By Johann Meier
flexible sequenced synths and samples
Two new additions to the contraption and missive set, plus some modifications that make missive and pcontraption2 a little better--your old snaps will still work with those, in fact, they'll work better.

PcOnTrApTiOn3 is a psychedelic rhythm synthesizer and sampler. CPU consumption on my machine is comparable to Sinebeats2. There are eight sequencers at the top which can be routed to serve as gate or pitch selectors for any of the six sound sources (so sequencer one can serve as the pitch sequencer for oscillator one, sequencer two can serve as the gate sequencer for oscillator one, etc.). The sound sources are blended FM oscillators pointed at one another as FM sources that can be cross-faded with samplers. This is much rawer sounding than the old pcontraption.

Don Dailey designed the snaps and they're really nice demonstrations of what this can do.

Thanks very much to theologiae for his excellent event table tutorial, and also thanks to Dan Battaglia, and Deiter Zobel for bits of advice and ideas that helped with this process.

---------------------------------------
I have had both of the PcOnTrApTiOn sequencers for quite a while, but i find i don't use them for live purposes at all, so now i've added Pharmacy, which takes the format of the PcOnTrApTiOn machines and makes it super simple. Just four oscillators, four sequencers, and some master controls. Still quite flexible.

    having mute (and solo) buttons for the different sound engines would be great.

    anyway, i like the sounds that you can get out of these 2 machines :-)

    Seems the voting on this is taking a rather pronounced downward trend. It's always nice to know if there's a reason why people find an ensemble frustrating or uninteresting or whatever, so comments are greatly appreciated.

    Well I for one love it (but I always like your work) and Don's snaps are also great.

    I also made some modifications for my own personal quirks (check out your thread in the forum).

    Terrific! I haven't had a chance to work much with it yet but it makes a great first impression. The addition of the snap morph is great!

    Johann, nice work. You shouldn't care for the voting. The voting-system is crap. Like me, most people enjoy your work.

    Great psychedelic sounds coming out of it. Not finding interface and level control intuitive. mainly which sequencer controls which level..

    Good for random tweakieness so thanks very much for the fun!
