pharmacy and contraption3
flexible sequenced synths and samples
DESCRIPTION
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.
