Hello Dr. B.,
Thanks for sharing the code! I did not think that I can have the opcode musically sing, but I need to explore it now.
It sounds quite different when I change ksmps to 1. Very interesting.

yes… there are some interesting possibilities here - I am still searching and trying to understand them.
Hello Dr. B.,
Thanks for sharing the code! I did not think that I can have the opcode musically sing, but I need to explore it now.

if i set ksmps = 1 and minfreq = maxfreq = cpsmidinnp4 it sings and i could play chords.
with gendy the tuning seems to be ok.
with gendyc not so.

This is a disturbing/unsettling but cool aesthetic. My mind went to a kind of “Covid-pocalyspe” place. Definitely not something I would wind down with a cup of tea in the evening though. But, a CIA sleep-deprivation room operator would find this useful to create a nightmare soundscape, for sure.
Listening as-is, want to try ksmps=1 as others have mentioned to see the differences…thanks for sharing!
Ha, I have to say, I find ksmps=1 much more enjoyable in a pleasant way, although it’ still has a dark/ominous vibe.
Ha, I have to say, I find ksmps=1 _much_ more enjoyable in a pleasant way,

Yeah... This piece is extraordinarily sensitive to both sr and ksmps!
Have you tried switching to sr=96000? That makes it an entirely different
piece too. Definitely unique!

Christian,
WOW. This is a very interesting (and musical) example.

Hello everyone, (Hello Tetsuya, Aaron, Pete and docB)
Thanks for your comments, suggestions and further explorations.
I wanted to get back to you about my ‘gendyc Etude’ at different sample rates and krates.
Yes, it is interesting how sensitive gendyc is to different rates
and…
Yes, there are ‘some’ things that I like (more low end) about running it at sr=96000 with ksmps=64
and…
Yes, it does retain some of the formal structure,
but…
At 96000…
The pitches are off.
The rhythms are off.
and…
It looses some of the mystery,
It looses some of the intensity,
It looses some of the edge,
It looses some of the dynamics,
It looses some of the harmonies that emerge from the clouds of noise
It looses some of the hauntingly quiet moments of suspense.
and…
the stark and explosive outbursts that tear open a number of holes in spacetime.
OK, so now I go to sr=96000 and ksmps=1
I am grateful to all of you who have further explored the opcode and etude with/for me
I think you have helped me turn this one movement etude, into a three-movement etude.
It continues to get more and more interesting - I do appreciate that about Csound - that our explorations seem to open up new vistas and possibilities and surprised.
Again, I am grateful to John ffitch for his inspiring starting point - his work opened the door. More paths to follow and more mindChambers to explore!
Dr.B.
