++ (PewPew) – Procedural FM synthesis for sound effects

++ is a little standalone and Max4Live tool to create sounds with the help of procedural algorithms. It features:

  • FM Synthesis with Harmonicity Ratio and Modulation Index functions
  • Drawable linear and curve functions
  • Random procedural lines
  • Random values of synthesis
  • MIDI in
  • PC Keyboard input
  • Virtual Keyboard input
  • Presets
  • Built-in recorder
  • High range of complexity and the ability to work on it on different ranges thank to the zoom functions

If you happen to use this app on a Game or and Audio Support I’d love to be put in the credits, this is not mandatory.

Fell free to contact me in case you want to tell me that you like it, you had problems or suggestions, I’m always willing to improve my creations.

 

Instructions:

Play note: use your pc keyboard AWSEDFTGYHUJIKL keys to play like a piano or using the built in keyboard

Change Octave: ‘Z’ Octave Down, ‘X’ Octave Up

Draw curve: Move the pointer on a segment, press “Alt” and drag your mouse

Delete point on functions: Press “Shift” and right click a point

Record: Press Open, choose a name for your file, ok, press the button on the right to start recording, press it again to stop it.

RanFun and RanVal enable randomization for the values they control. Disabling one of the functions will not randomize the value/function when RANVAL or RANFUNC are pressed.

X: Domain of the function = Length

Y: Range of the function = Range of values a function can describe

Complex: Line Complexity = Number of points created in the new function

Zoom functions: drag and drop to select a portion

Add zoom: press “Shift” and drag to add a new portion of the function into the zoom scope
