[ANN] Andes - synthesizer plugin based on Perlin noise
Hi everyone!
I'd like to announce the first release of Andes, a sound synthesizer plugin based on Perlin noise. It is built around an original oscillator that calculates a sum of Perlin noise steps using a technique called fractional Brownian motion to produce distinctively digital sounds. Check it out at:
https://artfwo.github.io/andes/
The current implementation only provides a single oscillator and an ADSR envelope. Certain basic features like presets and modulation are underway. Andes is written using JUCE and I managed to build VST+standalone binaries so far, but an LV2 plugin looks possible with JUCE, so that is planned as well. To build Andes, get the source code from Github:
https://github.com/artfwo/andes
Best,
Artem

Cool! I've been thinking about using some sort of 3d noise for a synth. I'd really like to hear how this sounds but I can't really open it up at work. Any sound samples you could put on your site?

Greetings,
I'll give it a go, checking out the git sources now.
Seriously, is cloning the entire JUCE source necessary ?

Re: [ANN] Andes - synthesizer plugin based on Perlin noise
It's a submodule, so you don't have to clone it for building. You can download JUCE directly and use that. As of now, you should have a copy of JUCE and Projucer to build anything. Open the project in Projucer, save it to create the makefiles, then proceed with make.davephillips wrote:Seriously, is cloning the entire JUCE source necessary ?
I have some, but not sure how to embed audio in gh-pages (markdown).ssj71 wrote:Cool! I've been thinking about using some sort of 3d noise for a synth. I'd really like to hear how this sounds but I can't really open it up at work. Any sound samples you could put on your site?

Re: [ANN] Andes - synthesizer plugin based on Perlin noise
Greetings,
Built with JUCE 5.0.1 on Fedora 21 x86_64, no trouble with the build.
Tested successfully in Bitwig 2.1.1. So far everything looks & sounds good. I've added it to the list at http://linux-sound.org/linux-vst-plugins.html.
Nice work, I look forward to its expansion.

Re: [ANN] Andes - synthesizer plugin based on Perlin noise
Thanks! Yeah, I hope this project will grow into a full-fledged and possibly multifractal synth with advanced internal routing.davephillips wrote:Built with JUCE 5.0.1 on Fedora 21 x86_64, no trouble with the build.

Re: [ANN] Andes - synthesizer plugin based on Perlin noise
There may be a good way to do it, but I'd just do it kinda like images, upload a clip online (add it to the gh-pages repo) and just put a link.artfwo wrote: I have some, but not sure how to embed audio in gh-pages (markdown).

I've uploaded a test sample to SoundCloud, check it out (upd: uploaded another):ssj71 wrote:There may be a good way to do it, but I'd just do it kinda like images, upload a clip online (add it to the gh-pages repo) and just put a link.artfwo wrote: I have some, but not sure how to embed audio in gh-pages (markdown).

Wow, that sounds really great! Thanks for the examples!

The first track made with Andes is online. Written by l33 from #opensourcemusicians. I like it, give it a listen!

Re: [ANN] Andes - synthesizer plugin based on Perlin noise
Nice track, and nice sounds, has a Rippingtons-at-the-resort feel to it.
I'd enjoy some brushes and light cymbals with the tapping snare percussion,
and a few steel drum riffs would fit in, and of course a longer version,
with synth and guitar solos.
Hope you're enjoying your synth making, and thanks for sharing this version!
Cheers
