not into drone but still found it beautiful. a bit long for me though :)

Thanks yan_g, I've been listening to a lot of Eliane Radigue lately so things are are going by the way of very drone and very long

Awesome concept - all for alternative controllers for sonic output Looking forward to extended version!

Really like this. Inspiring to do some stuff with Arduino too.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I'm very much learning as I go along with this current set-up. Vocoders have always been sort of vague and mysterious to me, and for someone who's been working with music technology for years, I've always struggled with properly understanding the way they work. It's not an isolated case though, as I tend to jump at technologies/devices, talk about it a lot, realise I've misunderstood the theory, then go back and figure out what I've been doing.

This week's submission builds on this set-up and I've documented its development in the video below.

It's practically the same set-up, but with the addition of some long delay and feedback.

Also, maybe someone can clarify this. Up until the other night I'd been assuming that the Carrier signal was being mixed with the Vocoder's built-in oscillator and noise generator, but I'm thinking now that the incoming carrier signal is being cut off (in favour of the osc and noise) when the keyboard is played. This would in effect make the first sawtooth wave as the Carrier redundant, and it would be the just the second sawtooth wave (as Modulator) having any external influence on the built-in sound generators. (wow, that's really long winded..I hope it makes sense!)

Sorry, that should be next week's submission..

This is great.  As a fan of Eliane Radigue, I hear the resonance with it.  Ingenious plan for generating the drone and the changes as well.
