I may have been quiet for sometime, it’s time to stop with the Soundwaves
and Start Making Waves in the Shark Pool
Public School Edu vs Law Degree should be FUN
This Litigant in Person is about to take the issue Viral
BeatSkool is about to start making some serious waves…more info soon!
and NO I’m not talking about the Famous Waldorf PPG
If you want to make some waves of your own, you could try some of these BeatSkool Recommended Apps (though BeatSkool Doesn’t condone the purchase of iPads or the PUSHING of ANY Over Priced Hardware through the SKOOL SYSTEM).
PPG WaveGenerator is the latest development from the inventor of wavetable synthesis, Wolfgang Palm. It is a next generation synthesizer, building on the heritage of the PPG Wave keyboards.
The PPG WaveGenerator comes with a multitude of wavetables. The sound material contains the typical sounds from the original PPG wave models, as well as many new sounds generated by versatile analysis tools and also hand edited waves.
This app enables the user, to create his own wavetables in a playful way, and to hear the result immediately. Also you can construct the waves by adding harmonics very precise. Another way is to transform a picture into a wavetable. You can load photos from your album or even shoot a picture with the camera.
The waves are collected in a grid of 256 fields, to which the 3 oscillators of the synthesizer have arbitrary and independent access. In a 3D display you get a visual impression on how the sound evolves. You can turn around the 3D object and zoom in and out.
The Parameters of the synthesizer are divided into modules, which allows easy, yet powerful editing.
It contains 3 oscillators with independent control of pitch and waveform. Each oscillator has its own glide, which gives a very dynamic sound.
With a sophisticated routing system, the diverse modulation sources can be connected to all important control points. The keyboard is configurable totally freely, so you can setup all well-known musical scales, but also all imaginable custom scales that best fit into your music.
PPG WaveGenerator benefits all advantages of the iPad, like X/Y control after the key on event, or two finder gestures for spectrum control. After a key is hit, the tone may be modified and modulated in various ways, just by moving your finger.
A comfortable browser lets you sort the sound programs; you can categorize and rate them. Also complete custom sound banks may be created.
All significant parameters are controllable via MIDI.
There is a built in context specific help for all pages and modules.
Key Features:
• Creation of your own waves and wavetables.

Reason has everything the beginner needs right at your fingertips. Sure you can Re-Wire into other applications to use additional processing tools, but Reason is so much fun.
While waiting for the world to BEAT a PATH 2 YOUR DOOR
(Seems the BEAT-NIC’s came in while I was out or sleeping)
A Great Video or 3D Project to land in your lap, music has become a great release, as with any productions you want it to be perfect but you have to always work within some limitations.
I Don’t have to always work just within Propeller Heads REASON, but I choose to quite a lot of the time, I like to see what I can squeeze out of it, all on its own, and even when I get somewhere I still know there is plenty more it can do…
Now I know what your thinking…these mixes ain’t all that!
I know I am barely scratching the surface, I don’t expect to make a living from music, but it keeps me sane. Sound Scapes are like virtual worlds, quicker to build than 3D worlds, more immediate & immersive.
Sound design is as deep & wide as you want to go all from the un-comfort of your armchair.
The randomness? of incremental changes, and the branches/choices you make,change the feel of the thing as you go. Every tiny change can lead to a new direction the semi-randomness of it all is why you keep plodding and plotting.
Random Attractors & Creative Vision merge to create infinite possibilities.
