Three examples of algorithmically created wavetables of single cycle waveforms generated in Csound. There are no efx or other modifications except reverb, it's simply morphed wavetable playback in Csound for Android.
Ex. 1 is two sections. The first uses two wavetables, harmonic & inharm. partials. The second uses a wavetable of random distributions which creates a range of tonal and "noisy" timbres. There is no amp. mod, although random notes modulate the fundamental freq.
Ex. 2 is a drone note using a wavetable of randomly created expon. segments.
Ex. 3 is a (very long) drone using a single wavetable, just wanted to give it time to breathe. The left channel has some random slow mod of the fundamental freq to give some movement & width. It's a single note although at times sounds almost like filtered noise.
These are in no way intended to resemble compositions, just examples of wavetables consisting of Csound generated single cycle waveforms. The scores consist of single notes or randomly triggered notes of random frequencies & durations (Ex. 1).
These are super. I would love to check out and share the CSDs with my students.
Also Scott, I have been showing my students some of your Generative Pieces in Csound (Mandela most recently)
On SoundCloud, I saw that you had a few others that were generative and procedural (and beautiful). Could you share the csd’s so that I could pass them along as models to my students.
Everyone at Berklee is into GENERATIVE and into PROCEDURAL (mostly in MaxMSP and so… I love having these examples to share and keep them focused on Csound
This is an interesting one as well. Both for the variety in timbre as
well as in slightly disconcerting atmosphere. The almost vocal timbres
in between are lovely. Both the detune and the reverb aid this vocal
quality and the menacing touch, naturally.

Hi Dr. B & Jeanette,
thanks for listening & the kind words.
@ Jeanette, hopefully the vampires, gun men & assorted Halloween threats haven’t caught up to you.
@ Dr. B, I need to do some code “cleanup” and to probably add some proper comments to the csd files. Are there any specific examples you’d like to see?
