I know, this feature of generating ringtones, glyph animations and vibrations is a gimmick at best, but I do enjoy it.
There are currently two “engines” available: diode (something about electronics and symmetry) and chemical (chemical reactions, diffusion).
Both are nice, but what I really would like to see is something like:
cosmos, inspired by gravitational waves, radio emissions from pulsars and deep space radiation
There are so-called “sonifications” from space agencies, like NASA and esa, that use the spectrometer data to create an audible interpretation of that signal. Also there are communities and some cool projects around radio astronomy.
That’s something I would be really interested to see in that form.
There are some artists, producing soundtracks inspired by concepts of space, like FreqGen with the “Transmissions” albums, that create …interesting soundscapes that have a certain something to them.
Do any of you have similar ideas, what could be an interesting theme for modular synth sounds?
Do keep in mind, this is not meant as a discussion about the neccessity or usefulness of the feature, rather how this fun gimmick could be expanded on.
