FireSledge RectalAnarchy
v1.1 - Build 2001/01/09
What is RectalAnarchy ?
RectalAnarchy is a plug-in for Buzz. It's a simple polyphonic synthetizer (generator) based on human voice sounds. It manages 5 types of voices and can reproduce 5 vowel sounds. The ring parameter system allows all possible combinations and transitions between two settings. The LFO modulates the Vowel parameter, and an ADSR (Attack-Decay- Sustain-Release) envelope modulates the VCA (amplitude).
Installation and connections
Just copy FireSledge RectalAnarchy.dll in your Buzz/Gear/Generators/ directory. Restart Buzz if it was still running. To put RectalAnarchy into your song, go in the machine view and right-click on the background. Select New > Generator > Synthesis > Other Synthesis > FireSledge RectalAnarchy. If it can't be found here, try in Generator > Unsorted. Now you just have to connect RectalAnarchy to the Master machine.
Global parameters
Voice Glide Time |  | Used to smooth transitions between two Voice Type or Vowel parameter values. Big values slowly fade from old to new parameters.
Voice Type |  | Characterize the singing voice, from soprano down to bass.
Vowel |  | It is the sound emulated by the synth.
Voice LFO Depth |  | Amplitude of the oscillations modulating the Vowel parameter.
Voice LFO Period |  | Period of the LFO oscillations.
Voice LFO waveform |  | There are 6 possible waveforms : - Sine - Square - Triangle - Ramp up - Ramp down - Brown noise. Use it with very long periods.
Emphasis |  | Amount of voicing effect.
Glottal Open Time |  | Parameter for the voice simulation. In practice, long time enhances the bass frequencies but cancels high pitch notes.
VCA Attack Time |  | Duration of the ADSR attack phase.
VCA Decay Time |  | Duration of the ADSR decay phase. During the decay phase, VCA level is decreases down to the sustain level.
VCA Sustain Level |  | Level of the VCA at the begining of the sustain phase.
VCA Sustain Time |  | Duration of the ADSR sustain phase. The sustain phase is active as long as the note is kept pressed. VCA level decreases during this phase, but it is possible to obtain a constant level and infinite sustain by setting the value to 00.
VCA Release Time |  | Duration of the ADSR release phase. The enveloppe gets into release state when the note is released.
Track parameters
Velocity |  | This indicates with how much force the note should be played, and acts mainly on its loudness. Velocity can be changed at any time (kind of "aftertouch" message). Here, velocity uses a quadratic scale instead of a linear one, which is the case in most synthetizers.
Slide time |  | When a slide time is coming with a note, the previous note isn't stopped, but slides gradually to the new one. This parameter indicates the slide duration.
Change log
2001.01.09 |  | Version 1.1 - Fixed Note Off problem (occured when two or more tracks played at the same time). - Fixed scale and display of Slide Time parameter. - Fixed Velocity scale, which was much too sensitive.
2001.01.07 |  | Version 1.0 Initial release.
