Synths, Toys and Gizmos

Synths

Patches that work with midi sequencers so you can use Pd for making music.

Toys

Patches that work on thier own to create sounds

Hillageizer

Cosmic arpeggiator Hillageizer.

The Ghost of Mozart

Spectral arpeggiator Mozarts Ghost.

Sparkel

A morphing synth for wildly shifting pad effects. Sparkle synth.

Transloss

A synthesiser of Tokyo electronic. Lost in translation.

FMAM cymbal

Ride model using modulations FM Ride.

Alien Slap

A 3 operator FM+AM synth that creates bright bass sequences by changing its patch parameters. puredata file

Resobass

Drumbeat driving resonators to produce a sound that follows it. Jailed and clipped feedback path with severl stages of parallel bandbasses makes interesting acoustic bass sounds. puredata file

Effects

Fiboverb

A reverb that works using fibonacci numbers to set the delays. Fiboverb.

Drum machines

Jazzman

Here's a sample based instrument that makes interesting jazzy drum beats. Included in the zip file is a drumkit. The samples should be easy to customise. Jazzman.

Tribal Haus

A different kind of drum machine inspired by Koalas microgroove patch on idecibel.fr. This uses arrays/tables to store events which are written according to an additive sinusoid method. The result is very subtle grooves which can change gradually over time into bizzare rythmns based on the harmonic series. Tribal Haus.

Cheesy Biscuit Box

Another drum machine, this one is entirely synthetic and based on vintage instruments. Pull it apart to see how to make old skool drum sounds, just a bit of fun. Cheesebox.

Games/film sound generators

MachineMachine

A thingumyjig to make machine noises for drills, lathes, generators, electric doors etc. Useful for making power-up and shutdown noises for games and film/animations. Machinemachine.

Delux Machine-o-matic

An newer machine factory made in Pd, has separate controls for component sounds. Machine-o-matic.

Bomb Factory

Blow things up with this explosion generator, useful for games makers. Bomb Factory.

Guns-u-like

Useful for making games. A quick wrapper around some of the techniques demonstrated in "Practical Synthetic Sound Design" for making gun firing noises. Guns-U-Like.

Fireworks

Whooshing rockets and bangs with echos Fireworks.

If you make a cool track using these gizmos why not send me a link or a file, I would be very interested to hear what you create. If you find bugs or make improvements same thing goes, and I'll post up your modified code.

Missing externals?

This probably means you need to download the full Pd-extended distribution, or if on Debian apt-get the additional libraries for Puredata. Since some very common externals are still missing from the core of Pd I've included them here on my site for your convenience. They are old and may break at any time so replace them with up to date versions asap. missing externals?
