Overview

Name \| Version:	Poly Pulsars 1.0
Author:	opticon93
Device Type:	Instrument
Description:	This is a Live-ified, weaponized and polyphonized (8-note) implementation of the poly_pulsar patch from Generating Sound and Organizing Time. The Rate controls the number of Pulsars per second. The Duration specifies how long each Pulsar is. The Gain goes from 0. to 1. for the Pulsars. The Pulsaret is a morphable Saw/Tri oscillator, controllable with the Skew parameter. The pre-filter Drive is a cubic, soft saturation circuit. The 8-Mode filter is also from the GO book. I added a basic aux/sub oscillator that you can mix in. The poly in the poly_pulsar patch actually refers to how many Pulsars are playing at a time. For a monophonic particle stream, if the Rate is set to 100 Hz, then there are 100 Pulsars per second and each of them should be 10ms in Duration. With this patch, the Duration parameter is independent, so there can be many (up to 24) overlapping Pulsars. Share and Enjoy!
