Laptop Noise

[Häkkis Atte]

one thing I like the idea of is using Arduino, so you get the software aspect you'd want from laptop noise and the fiddly bits that make pedals nice

I like using Arduino with Pure Data. Here is some tutorial for making the light sensor that works something like "light theremin" if you use it with Pure Data oscillators:

Don't know if someone have mentioned it before, but there's a little software plenty of noise potential, Sunvox
http://www.warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/, it's free (apart from android and ios versions) and runs on every
type of palm, pc, mac and so on...
Right now i'm using it as a sampler and real-time processing software and it's awesome.

Looks like Buzz audio-program from the 90's! Must check out!

If you like trackers Renoise is my favourite:
http://www.renoise.com/

For noise I have used data files like *.txt or *.jpg -files and read them to tracker as audio data. You'll get sounds of glitches and digital scratches from raw data. One method to make noise is to use Renoise's own delay and put the LFeedb and RFeedb to 100%. Then if you change the L Delay and R Delay you'll get some nice looping noises.

Also Renoise is a great source for noise, for sure more powerful than sunvox (renoise support vst plugins).
It's quite similar to buzz (in the early 00's was one of my fav software/resource).
Also sunvox could open txt, jpg and various non musical files (right now i'm using it with an *.id file... :D )

yea sunvox!! lightweight tracker with crazy modules --- jawohl!

heres an interesting article bout richard devine:

http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2013/10/11/live-blog-a-day-with-richard-devine

NOTE! the workflow runs from the bottom of the page upwards..

the reason why i mention this article is to point out the following: even the mostest wizardest dude uses basically the same caveman technique as many of us here (at least i do, maybe someone else too) = collect all kindsa of sounds and arrange tons of (or just a few, depending) AUDIO clips to the order that works for the piece.. many steps in between = use device "x" for a small task, record it, then use software "xx" for another small task, export it or record it, then compile the piece from small/large exportings and recordings.. the same could be seen on a curtis roads interview online which i cant seem to find right now.. (c.roads resulting in some insane microtonal and granular explorations)

then in part 2 around 3mins... layered pieces...

This is somewhat newish paradigm in creating etc. sounds. I didn't try, just saw the announcement. Yellofier

Yellofier is great...immediate glitchy tunes...i used it a lot for dronish/glitch stuff the last year

ah, I misunderstood the announcement then. I thought it was something very new.

Not so old, indeed ;)

new ipad app from Korg, more dance oriented but plenty of small "machines", i've take it yesterday...i think it could be useful also for some good noise :)

Initially it reminded me of a VST called "Glitch" that I've used in Reaper - that does some interesting cut-up glitchy sounding stuff.

i'm still using that vst, and i've used it a ton of times in the good old fruity loops 3.5.6...it's one of the best vst fx for glitchy stuff...

o man, you guys mean dblue's glitch?! thats insane... also check out this:

this glitch subject is one that annoys a lot of noise people haha.. but once again: when applied tastefully it's amazing

[secondplanet]

sunfox and renoise are great for sure.. I'm also a huge fan of milkytracker
