Mu-gen was created as a composition aid. The user
enters in a musical idea or phrase via a MIDI
controller. User-defined parameters are then set to
alter the original content into a longer, more
elaborate musical phrase. |

This patch is used in conjunction with a MIDI foot
controller. The effect that this patch generates could
be compared to that of a Boss Loop Station, with much
more control. When an audio sample is recorded, the
expression pedals can then be used to "scrub" through
the phrase at one's own pace or control any other
parameter including a knob on a VST instrument or
overall volume. |

MTX is a rhythm generator used in an
electro-acoustic piece of the same name. The piece was
premiered in Buenos Aires, Argentina as part of a
University Miami/LIPM collaboration. This patch
generates complex rhythmic and melodic structures and
playback can either be routed to percussive sounds
based on FM synthesis or MIDI output for use with other
software or hardware synthesizers. MTX also offers
user-definable modal and tonic input for bass and
melody. |

Reaktor offers a similar "blank canvas" to that of
Max/MSP and this patch takes advantage of Reaktor's
ability to easily load many audio files into a sample
map. A user can fill a sample map with over 100 samples
and sequence them quickly and easily in the step
sequencer on the interface. This instrument is used in
a piece entitled "YLine." |
