一个连接信号、脉冲和模式的可延展、开放系统,CHOREOGRAPHS探索了通过动作序列设计声音的原则。这是一张永恒的动画地图,动态的形式在空间、形状和时间中舞蹈。
创造模式
超过150个单独可调制的控制分散在其信号路径,CHOREOGRAPHS有运动在其跳动的心脏。三个基于采样的振荡器馈送到独特的音乐设备的精致架构中,形成一个声音设计环境,开始是一个复音合成器,但扩展为鼓机、拖放采样器或颗粒处理器。通过选择广泛的调制器,包括复杂的lfo, MIDI CC,波动随机信号和高度通用的步进调制器,几乎可以在任何地方注入运动。
时间和空间中的物体
就像舞蹈编排一样,综合系统是运动的地图,是运动部分的蓝图。《CHOREOGRAPHS》便是对这一理念的探索;一种乐器,它的运动有自己的声音表达。当编舞师规划出要表演的动作时,CHOREOGRAPHS为表演设定参数。它是创作与表演的相遇:半自发,半设计。
波的集合
CHOREOGRAPHS由大量专业采样的模拟,数字和模块化合成器,鼓机,声学仪器和噪声源组成。超过400个样本来源涵盖了从珍贵的模拟经典的温暖到模块化振荡器的弹拨和爆发;物理模拟材料的铃铛般的闪烁与鼓槌般的声学样本混合在一起。其中还包括一组特征噪音层——噼里啪啦的静电声、嗡嗡作响的放大器、摸索的布料、刮擦的膜、远处的鸟叫声——这些层一起将一般的合成器声音分解成半抹去的、尘土飞扬的纹理。
声波星座
CHOREOGRAPHS预设库包含超过650个补丁,每个补丁都可以在引擎中进行分离。从搅动、纠结的琶音到沉重的嗡嗡声;低沉低音的螺旋音与尖锐打击乐器的交错节奏相呼应;令人讨厌的,电影般的手势对充满动态重复的圆形脉冲;还有棱角分明的多节奏,可以随意扭转,脱离传统的四小节网格。
谐波几何
编排的核心是复杂调节音高的能力。在模块化合成中,声音的音高可以从其包络的触发中分离出来。这打开了一种全新的和声排序方法——音高持续和即时更新,允许复杂的绘制序列,LFO驱动的旋律,以及独特的碎片多节奏。一切都输入到一个音阶量子仪中,智能地将音高排列成直线,将混乱变成和谐。
时间圈
CHOREOGRAPHS中的欧几里得排序器基于几何划分和数学对称生成抽象序列。四道旋转的圆形触发器相互对抗,用独特的引力雕刻出重叠的多节奏。每条车道都位于自己的轨道上,创造出不断发展的谐波进程、相位对位和角度冲击结构。
策划+创建
CHOREOGRAPHS既是一个采样器,也是一个合成器。只需将样本放入三个语音槽中的任意一个,就可以将它们加载到引擎中。一旦加载,无数的声音塑造参数可以将它们切割成形状。除了从头开始,将一个自定义样本拖到600多个预设补丁中的任何一个都是一种即时的方式,可以从中获得一些新颖的东西。自定义脉冲响应也可以通过将它们拖到卷积效应槽来加载,允许无限的空间。

A malleable, open system of interconnecting signals, pulses, and patterns, CHOREOGRAPHS explores the principle of designing sound through sequences of movement. It is a map of perpetual animation, where dynamic forms dance in space, shape, and time.
PATTERNS OF CREATION
With over 150 individually modulatable controls scattered throughout its signal path, CHOREOGRAPHS has movement at its beating heart. Three sample-based oscillators feed into a refined architecture of unique musical devices to form a sound design environment that begins as a polyphonic synthesiser, but augments into a drum machine, drag-and-drop sampler, or granular processor. Movement is injected almost anywhere by selecting from a broad range of modulators including complex LFOs, MIDI CC, fluctuating random signals, and highly versatile step-modulators.
BODIES IN TIME AND SPACE
Like a choreography, a synthesis system is a map of motion, a blueprint of moving parts. CHOREOGRAPHS is an exploration of this idea; an instrument where movement finds its own sonic expression. As the choreographer plots out the movements to be performed, CHOREOGRAPHS sets the parameters for the performance to emerge. It is the meeting of the composition and the performance: half-spontaneous, half-designed.
AN ASSEMBLY OF WAVES
CHOREOGRAPHS is comprised of a large collection of expertly sampled analogue, digital, and modular synthesisers, drum machines, acoustic instruments, and noise sources. Over 400 sample sources cover everything from the warmth of prized analogue classics to the plucks and bursts of modular oscillators; the bell-like twinkles of physically modelled materials to the rompler-like blend of acoustic samples. Included also is a bank of characteristic noise layers – crackling static, buzzing amplifiers, fumbled cloth, scraped membranes, distant bird calls – that layer together to break down generic synth sounds into half-erased, dusty textures.
SONIC CONSTELLATIONS
The CHOREOGRAPHS preset library contains over 650 patches, each of which can be picked apart within the engine. Anything from churning, tangled arpeggios to heavy drones dripping in reverb; buckling swirls of deep bass to cross stitched rhythms of sharp percussion; beastly, cinematic gestures to circular pulses full of kinetic repetition; and angular polyrhythms that twist and turn at will, untethered from the traditional four-bar grid.
HARMONIC GEOMETRY
Central to CHOREOGRAPHS is the ability to complexly modulate pitch. As in modular synthesis, the pitch of a voice can be detached from the triggering of its envelope. This blows wide open a whole new methodology of harmonic sequencing – pitches are continuously and instantaneously updated, allowing for intricately plotted sequences, LFO driven melodies, and uniquely fragmented polyrhythms. Everything feeds into a scale quantiser, intelligently pulling pitches into line, turning chaos into harmony.
CIRCLES IN TIME
The Euclidean sequencer in CHOREOGRAPHS spawns abstract sequences based on geometric divisions and mathematical symmetry. Four lanes of rotating circular triggers play against each other, carving out overlapping polyrhythms with a unique gravitational pull. Each lane sits in its own orbit, creating evolving harmonic progressions, phasing counterpoints, and angular percussive structures.
CURATE + CREATE
CHOREOGRAPHS is as much a sampler as it is a synthesiser. Samples are loaded into the engine by simply dropping them into any of the three voice slots. Once loaded, a myriad of voice shaping parameters can chop them into shape. As well as starting from scratch, dragging a custom sample into any of the 600+ preset patches is an instantaneous way to get something novel out of it. Custom impulse responses can also be loaded by dragging them onto the convolution effect slot, allowing for an infinity of spaces.
