Miusic Part 1: Noise and Harmony

 Okay, I'm gonna split this section into 3 parts, the first two about how VCV works and the third one exploring the changes made through MIDI messaging.

________________________________________________________________

First, at the request of Vivian, I am placing a humming frequency that exists as a through line for the experience that can be referenced. I placed a since node and connected the V/Oct reference to a CC (Control Change) channel. That sine signal is then passed through a reverb effect and connected to a channel. Separately and for a different channel in the mixer, I'm sending the sine wave through a Instruo oscillator that crunches the signal and makes it sharper and more distorted.

The octave value scales with the overall distress level, and it goes from a mid-low frequency to a fairly high pitch, while at the same time the volume of the oscillator goes up serving as kind of a Dry/Wet take and allowing me to create a fairly different beggining/end stage.

Now, the harmony section is a little more familiar, in my previous project  I built a traditional song structure (harmony and melody). This time and since there needed to be immediate feedback for the participants, I scrapped all of the Chord generators and simplified the probkey so that it utilizes less effects.

A sequencer allows me to do half steps for each chord and I'm using the same minor chord progression I had used before. These are merged, sent to an oscillator that plays the notes only when the sequencer is sending the gate and then pass through a Reverb module in which most of the progress changes happen.

These is the set up that I've shown on previous examples. Through CC changes I'm modifying the Wet level, Decay and Mod Depth of the reverb module, as well as the bpm that affects the sequencer. All these values scale in tandem with the distress level.

As it is shown at the end of the video, this harmony starts popping up after some time, which means that with the changes, the general volume of this section starts at 0 and increases exponentially. But reaches maximum volume before the stronger changes can be heard.
