Minor description fix. Changes since 46.3: DIN Is Noise 47 @ Chennai, India + Menu > Drone Params now split into 3 tabs: + Modulation: + has controls to edit drone modulation parameters like AM/FM depth, BPM + Visual: + has controls to edit drone trail length, handle size, connection stiffness (see below), colors (see below) etc + Motion: + controls to edit drone parameters like velocity, acceleration, drones per minute, lifetime etc + On the mouse slider + when you can slide both horizontally and vertically: + press SHIFT to slide just vertically + press CTRL to slide just horizontally /* connect and disconnect drones + Workflow: + select a bunch of drones (eg., Menu > Drone Tools > Select all drones) + Menu > Drone Tools > Connect + DIN connects drones in selection order + points one drone to next + last drone points in the direction second last drone points + To select drones in desired order, select drones one at a time by click+moving a box around a drone and use SHIFT / CTRL keys while selecting to add to existing selection or remove a drone from selection + Steps @ 1 connects drones successively, this is default Steps @ 2 connects alternate drones Steps @ 1 2 does both try other steps sequences: eg., 1 3 5 OR 1 2 4 etc !note! separate steps with SPACE not comma + Just select a drone and move (Menu > Drone Tools > Move) and all the connected drones move to keep their original distance on connection. 'But then one lizard (or iguana) moved, and all moved' - VS Naipaul, Among the Believers + Use Connection Stiffness parameter to control the 'elasticity' of the connections (Menu > Drone Params > Visual) + This is a global parameter, affects all connections among all drones + Menu > Drone Tools > Disconnect to disconnect the connected drones + Select a drone in the middle of a chain and disconnect splits the chain in two + Select the 'head' drones of two different chains and connect to merge the two chains into one /* new curve & curve editor to sculpt amplitude (aka depth) & bpm of drone pendulum's drones + access using Menu > Editors > Drone Pendulum + edit curves even after creating drone pendulums! + affects drone pendulums selected drones belong to + use Menu > Overlay Instrument on the editor to see the effects of the edits while making them. /* new color sliders to set the color of selected drones + 2 sets of 3 sliders (1 for Red, Green and Blue). + Top set called Top + Bottom set called Bottom + Select some drones and + change color to Top to set color of all selected drones to the RGB of Top sliders + change color to Bottom to set color of all selected drones to RGB of Bottom sliders + change color to Blend to set color of all selected drones to RGB blended from Top to Bottom sliders + first selected drone color is from the Top sliders + last selected drone is from the Bottom sliders + other drones take inbetween colors + To select drones in desired order, select drones one at a time by click+moving a box around a drone and use SHIFT / CTRL keys while selecting to add or remove drone to an existing selection + change color to Random to set random colors on all selected drones + not truly random but a random color between RGB of Top and Bottom sliders + useful as colors are random but still from a certain part of the spectrum + If drones are noise, their color is grayscale, derived from just the Red channel of Top and/or/both Bottom sliders, based on the chosen scheme. + If you edit a color slider, DIN hides the menu so you can see the edits better, hit ESC or click on Close to finish/abort /* abort octave shift + useful to take the key note away from 'piano notes' into 'weird' pitches yet still have 'scales' based on this new key 'note'. + without Abort this was still possible by editing the octave shift curve (Menu > Editors > Octave Shift) + to set the key back to a note, goto Settings screen and use the Key spinner + click Menu > Misc > Abort on Microtonal-Keyboard, Mondrian and Binaural Drones instruments + or press SHIFT + ESC + click Abort button on Keyboard-Keyboard + or press n /* edit arrow width, depth for each drone + until DIN46, this was global + very useful for snake/centepede like visualisations of connected drones * scale drones * press CTRL to scale along horizontal * press SHIFT to scale along vertical + moved Scale, Rotate drones to join Move in Menu > Drone Tools + SHIFT + e to scale selected drones + CTRL + e to rotate selected drones + press ` to flip between current instrument and last used curve editor + detach Spinners from Menu when using the < and > buttons to decrease/increase values * Optimised GUI controls * field, spinner etc \0/ fixed crash when browsing waveforms on keyboard-keyboard \0/ fixed search field in countries \0/ fixed value field in number for bits of char

DIN Is Noise is a program for making sound, music and noise. Use
|
|
bezier curves to edit waveforms, envelopes, modulators and FX
|
|
components; use the keyboard (computer and MIDI) to trigger notes (or
|
|
noise), use the mouse to sound like the theremin, create drones on
|
|
microtones, launch, orbit and drag them around; bounce balls on walls
|
|
to trigger notes in a mondrian inspired drawing and also make binaural
|
|
beats. Supports MIDI input and scripting through TCL.
