All sound in the universe is created by one form of resonance or another and every musical instrument has resonators Kaleidoscope offers two primary types of resonators: Strings and Springs.Technically speaking, Kaleidoscope is a massively parallel bank of physically modeled resonators that can be tuned completely arbitrarily with scientific precision and dynamically modulated over time by over two million points of automation.In simplistic terms, Kaleidoscope uses pictures to control sound.It is designed with one goal in mind: to inspire and invigorate composers, sound-designers, and artists to push the boundaries of what is possible in cutting edge sound-design.
Kaleidoscope actually delivers them - in unfathomable abundance and ultimate fidelity. If you work in any of the following areas you owe it to yourself to check out Kaleidoscope. It is highly recomended, and therefore we make it possible to include with your Kaleidoscope order at a substantially discounted price. It can be added at a later date for the normal price as well. It is an absolutely massive library of over 25,000 waveforms that can used with Kaleidoscope to explore unlimited experimental tonalities appropiate for use in scoring and sound-design for visual media. The 64-Bit Wav format for this library is required for use in Kaleidoscope. Kaleidoscope is a tool that offers ultimate control over musical organization in both of these domains. In music we call organization in time rhythm, and we call organization in frequency tonality. Tonality includes things such as tuning systems, musical scales, and harmony. Rhythm includes things such as tempo, meter, syncopation and groove. Kaleidoscope seeks to vastly expand our understanding of these definitions, rewrite music theory for the information age, and explore the areas in which time and frequency converge -- that is to say where tonality becomes rhythm and where rhythm becomes tonality. ![]() It scans an image from left to right where the horizontal access represents time, and the vertical access represents frequency. The brightness of a particular pixel in the image determines how loud the sound will be at that particular point in time and frequency. This is similar in some ways to a spectrogram or even to piano-roll notation in standard musical sequencers. The difference is in scope and the unprecedented level of control and flexibility offered by Kaleidoscope. These performances can be set to have any desired duration: an image could represent a one measure loop, providing 11024th note timing resolution, or it could represent an entire ten minute song. ![]() Finally the timing of each Image Map performance can be independently set to establish evolving patterns and polyrhythmic structures that generate incredibly novel and interesting results that are guaranteed to keep the listener engaged with new surprises. Technically each row represents an independant resonator that can be tuned with scientific precision to any possible frequency to create any conceivable composite tonality. ![]()
