#sunvox

[torbers]

Got sunvox running on the uconsole! The key is to go to the older versions and get version 2.1c because the os doesn’t have the latest glibc.

playing with synth emulators is fun lol

[lain0alien]

I had a very specific goal when started this and I think I achieved it

a lil synth choir doin vowels and a poppy airy 3/4 beat very fun uwu

[digitalpuppygirl]

Here is some of my music. I made it in sunvox and posted it on my soundcloud a bit ago. I boosted the audio here, because I accidentally made it too quiet on soundcloud.

rectifed audio sounds similar-ish to frequency doubling plus a bunch of artifacting, if you've ever used an abssin synth you'll know it sounds an octave up from its sin counterpart.

If you want to play modular synth on the Computer I highly recommend Sunvox, it's a combo softsynth and tracker that's a lot of fun for just noodling about in.

oh no I just realized I can build guitar pedal-y audio modulators in gnuradio. There goes my evening.

what was ur trajectory for getting into hardcore?

Short answer:

Vocaloid -> Tumblr mutuals give me a taste of hardcore -> hardcore touhou arranges and lolicore -> hardcore autism -> 4lung links me a copy of FL studio -> Perpetuates the cycle

Long timeline below the cut:

c. 2009-2011: get into vocaloid because a high schooler TA at art camp plays World Is Mine and a few other classics, and i think it's just the coolest thing ever.

c 2012-2013: still really into vocaloid. it's my special interest. finding myself enjoying electronic stuff but not knowing anything about genres. going on youtube deep dives, listening to anything i can find reuploaded off niconico. i have a bookmark folder from around this time with a good hundred or so songs in it lol

2013-2014: introduced to things like wolfgun, pendulum, and more experimental electronic like osamu sato by tumblr mutuals. some of my mutuals make their own music. they and quite a few others i follow are into lapfox but i never went out of my way to listen. the callout drops and i have no idea what anyone is talking about but i avoid the subject.

i want to get into making music. i had a tiny bit of background when i was in elementary school, but i still struggle to read sheet music, i don't know shit about playing the piano, and i don't know what programs to use. i watch Cakewalk videos in mystified awe, unable to read anything on it. i am very bad at searching for information online.

somehow, i get myself into using UTAU, mostly just converting USTs, doing a little tuning, and trying to edit in Audacity. I start using Famitracker. While I struggle with the interface, I finally for the first time understand music. The process of synthesizing a sound makes sense for me, and I want more.

2014-2015: i'm into 8tracks and i like, like fucking, electroswing and glitch hop and shit. i'm just listening to random dancey electronic. i don't know. i liked the hotline miami soundtrack

2015: old vocaloid producers are retiring and moving on, the slump is starting to hit. i get a new computer, i deleted my old tumblr coinciding with losing most of the people i spent time with on there, i focus more on school. but i'm on twitter and soon i've remade my tumblr.

i start making new friends. i get invited to play nekodancer with one of them, and get introduced to their friend (hi ein). i think he put on like a goreshit song or a touhou arrange or something but it just really cracked my brain open.

i get into touhou, i get into touhou arranges, and this is when i meet gabber and breakcore. i'm also pretty into lolicore but i have a hard time talking about it due to it being called lolicore (oh, how time changes a person)

2016: at this point, hardcore is my special interest. i'm collecting things in youtube playlists, i'm getting really granular about genres. i'm slurping shit off of lolicore.ch

i want to make hardcore but i don't know how. i try doing things in sunvox to no avail. i try playing around in audacity to no avail. but the hardcore spirit is within me

additional events of note:

2016 or 2017: i don't know when or how i ended up finding out about 4lung, probably a twitter mutual. i like her stuff and she puts out a lot of it. the fanbase is friendly.

if you ask, 4lung will send you a pastebin with a link to FL studio, sample packs, and tips on getting started making breakcore. so i get FL studio. i'm still busy at school, but i make some practice tracks for assignments.

2017: i make the first E-R0 MAID.f track.

and then i just kept going. my music-related special interests wax and wane with my ability to focus on them compared to other things going on in my life but they never really fade completely. in early 2023 i started djing so that's brought it back.

so yeah that's roughly my trajectory thanks for listening

destiny sound designer

what were you DOING

context: using polaris lance in destiny 2, and complaining about a weird case of tinnitus, it just wouldnt seem to go away. I started to worry if i was losing my hearing or something. then it seemed to come in bursts, and.... wait....

I shot my gun, and ohhh my god oww my ears, that is the highest pitch I have ever heard in my life. I took it into audacity to have a look:

what the actual hell that is at the top of the spectrograph. analyzer says it B9 WHAT. the NINTH octave WHAT

so then i open up my music program (sunvox) just to double check, and for the love of god B9 is literally the top note on its interface

it doesnt seem like this is the top of the midi standard, but maybe its the same in other programs. did the designer straight up add a highest note sine wave??? to the ??? gun???

the hilarious part is that sunvox wont even let you play B9. I believe because of harmonics and nyquist? I could explain these seperately but what i mean here is that its tapering towards the high end (not that B9 is the "highest pitch" in machines or humans however). i guess they dont expect you to play a ballad in OCTAVE NINE.

this is like 15.8kHz, and with rough testing of my hearing, till 18kHz still sounds just as loud?? so its very. high. and we perceive tones logarithmically, so thats only like 4 semi tones up i believe.

these pitches might normally be in a sound, like a high hat, but definitely tapering down towards that end! not just a pure isolated pitch. maybe it was added for a machine-like sound? perhaps because of sensory issues it definitely signals in my brain as "machine that i want to walk away from very quickly"

anyways yeah, it seems it really was B9

it feels like they sprinkled CRT humm into the sound effect for good measure, and it is actually going to stop me from using this weapon. sad because i was liking it too

heres the pitch if you want to hear it but WARNING that it might actually be unpleasant to listen to if you are like me!

reminds me of when I received a synth that had a similarly high pitch, but even way way louder! to me it was genuinely unusable, but I realized because of the age of its creator, it was likely that he just couldnt hear it at all

[defective-drag0n]

my new years resolution was to actually practice music, instead of sitting around wishing i did. my goal is to do a little bit of practice every day, maybe I'll even make something that sounds good this year. The purpose of this blog is for me to journal about my progress.

This a screen cap of my second song in sunvox (I made one yesterday) I wont post audio because im not happy enough with how it sounds yet, but sometime in the next few weeks maybe I'll start posting my little blips and boops i make along this journey.

I'll tag all my posts #dederg , and all my post specifically about my daily progress as #dergtunes

SunVox: Powerful Modular Synthesizer and DAW

https://www.warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/

[chunter16]

I Don't Have to Go Anywhere

Featuring Kasane Teto, a voicebank for Synthesizer V. Made with SunVox and Deflemask. The extra track was made with Klystrack. I don’t need a holiday to escape the mundaneThis life is a journeyThis life is an adventure, and I don’t need to travel far I don’t have to go anywhere to find what I’m looking forThis is my destination and I need nothing more I don’t have to go anywhere because you’re…

[synthesizeritis]

did a couple more tests

tiny vocaloid 3 editor: could not import the midi file

bespoke synth: could not import the midi file

piapro studio: could import the midi file

still need to test

puredata: very unfamiliar interface so i will have to go through some tutorials

bitwig: still havent downloaded the demo yet lol

magix music maker: i legit forget i have this installed

sunvox tracker: i have this installed on linux, dont think i have it installed on windows

additional notes

drumkit is my favorite vocaloid

exported a midi file from guitar pro 6, then imported it into the 4 DAWs i have on my computer (ACID Music Studio, Mixcraft, Ableton Live, and MPC Beats) to see how they handled it because i've had some issues with that before.

Interesting things to note:

acid and mpc beats both didn't open the first track. running into this with acid is why i did this quick test. it will import any song markers, tempo, and time signature changes, but will only pull the midi data starting from track 2. the title of track one will also be the title of the .acd file should you save it. whether mpc beats does the same thing or not because of how it handles external midi files or because of a track limit, i'm not sure yet. this was exclusively a test with importing the files themselves.

live and mixcraft both brought in all the files, but mixcraft is the only one so far that doesn't automatically import, at the bare minimum, the tempo and time signature. you have to ope the midi file itself from the browser instead of dragging and dropping.

exporting the midi from guitar pro 6 cuts off any midi that goes across a bar line regardless of length, as shown in the midi file in the picture. want to start on the "and" of a bar? you have to re-extend it yourself in the DAW each time, throughout the whole song. i have no idea if this is fixed in any newer version.

i have not yet tried it on: bespoke synth, puredata, tiny vocaloid editor, or studio one. expect an update if i do.

This was a collab track I did with Ersatz Waterfall back in 2018, as part of a fun little album project where participants were randomly paired up to make tracks (loosely) based around a common theme: this edition’s theme was “Field Trip”

She was pretty comfortable with chiptune-y stuff, so I figured it would be fine to let her take the reins in most of the melody while I supplied more supporting harmony + beats

Not easy considering we were literally on opposite timezones and primarily worked in different programs (her on Sunvox, me on Ableton) so there was lots of back-and-forth sending of project files, but we managed to pull through and churned out this pretty chill tune, kinda evocative of chilling on a school bus sitting on a window seat

I think it would be interesting if something similar could be arranged within Tumblr? (If there hasn’t been such a project already)

My desktop audio jingles were getting outdated so I'm rewriting some of them, here's what plays on boot (might stick some LFO on it later)

Here's what plays when you start the program launcher

A first draft of some ambient music. 45 seconds.

[hiwaporwave]

friend said I should post this to tumblr, here is a musical sketch I made today in sunvox:

ive been making music here and there for maybe 2 years now? cause of that I've grown a backlog of finished and semi finished things that I'm thinking of putting together in an album.

[robloxfan75000]

Another uplifting trance is here!

The Reason why i upload this late, because it takes 10 days to make an uplifting

trance while i was working on busy stuff.
