How-To

Video by Brad Decker: Algorithmically generated score (Opusmodus) through Max to a set of four unique wine glasses, each with a unique resonant frequency. Each glass gets the same audio signal, but only responds to their unique pitch/frequency when it "hears" it. The output from max is a series of sine waves, tuned to the four resonant frequencies of the glasses. (excerpt/prototype/experiment).

In the latest episode of "Composing with Opusmodus," we'll explore how to craft a piano composition using a selection of patterns. These patterns will be skillfully combined and manipulated using Opusmodus' robust counterpoint function.

I had a very fun experience with the Opusmodus spectral function! Have you ever heard a piano “speak”?

The Spectral Analysis Tool in Opusmodus lets you preview audio files and extract rich spectral data. This information can be used not only for spectral composition, but also creatively — for example, mapping spectral values to pitch, rhythm, duration, or dynamics. In this video, I’ll show you how to explore and use this data step by step.
