Anarchy Swarm Synth VSTi
Uses a flocking algorithm to control a bank of oscillators as they move through an envelope-constrained 5 dimensional parametric hyperspace.
FEATURES :
* Makes sound by mixing output from a user-sizeable bank of oscillators
* Oscillators are controlled by five parameters - volume, pitch, pan, resonance and noise
* Values of each oscillator's parameters continually change, equating to movement through five-dimensional hyperspace
* Movement through hyperspace is constrained to a bounding box specified by a home position and permissive range for each parameter
* Graphical envelopes modify the bounding box through the duration of each note
* Within the bounding box, each oscillator follows a rule-based flocking algorithm - a 5D equivalent of AI simulations of 2D and 3D animal flocking behaviour
* 3D visualisation of the oscillator's movement through hyperspace, using hue & luminance to represent the other 2 dimensions
* Mouse-clicking the hyperspace visualisation affects the sound by causing oscillators to veer towards or away from the mouse
* Hotkey powered sticky-mouse for moving the cursor in 5 dimensions
* Controllable reseeding to make the algorithm deterministic or non-deterministic
* IIR resonant lowpass filter
* Overdrive
* 101 automatable parameters, controllable through VST automation or fully remappable MIDI control messages
* Collection of preset sounds
* QWERTYUIOP control - SwarmSynth can be played with the computer keyboard
* Anarchy button to randomise current settings
* Context-sensitive help system
