My first article about the music - the contact with the outside 
world is broken, so N1k-O will not be able to help ... Leave 
until Oleg (just case) given to them about the theme music for 
3 samples and take a new, his own. My chronic lack of 
availability of music education will be less noticeable if I 
keep silence about his own music, and tell ...


                      Shock samples.

Mania, the discovery of America, I already had chickenpox, so 
that even stutter not going on the different types obmusolennyh 
TN-type barrels, drums, kastryulnyh caps and pepper. They can 
be seen in thousands and thousands of Mouzon. Expanding your 
horizons, only added to the him several varieties of 
non-standard, so to speak, percussion, sometimes lately I 
apply. 

That we use to rhythm? Completely different sounds. Main
uniting their property - the presence of a sharp transition
(Of sound) at the application and any shielding this transition 
(for contrast), a smooth withdrawal. Drummer can also serve as 
the filling of the sound spectrum (below the floor or the roof, 
depending on the type of instrument). Since the role of 
withdrawal shock secondary to it (withdrawal) is not 
accentuated in force which can often be seen in the 
compositions of different authors cup-like bursts of noise 
generator in length one quantum - which might as well be played 
backwards. 

Listen to the attached song that I wrote the day before.


                             [1:23]

Pay attention to the rhythm group. It consists of three 
instruments: a drum, covered dish and a triangle. All are built 
on the same principle, which hitherto virtually used - the 
envelope attack and decay is realized most of this, sorry for 
the pun, the envelope of type 1. It decreases much faster than 
it can be done manually controlling the volume. However, it 
does not necessarily fit exactly on volume in the subsequent 
part of the sample (which, incidentally, there is only in 
drum). The range of periods used envelope - Somewhere from # 
0080 to # 0200, which should correspond to different volume. Of 
course, the impact always occurs at maximum volume, differs 
only by the rate of decline. But here is a psychoacoustic 
effect! Of course, the amplitude of the continuation of the 
impactor also be adjusted according to volume, surrounding the 
envelope. 

Samples are available in standard frequency characteristics: a 
drum - in as a smoothly decaying tone, triangle - in the form 
of tone higher B-8 (Triangle I call it conditionally: my 
triangle like pressed a pillow:) dish - the same as above but 
with noise. It is recommended to use several plates, a little 
different adjustment, and arrange them randomly. Volume if 
patient enough, can also fluctuate, it does sound more alive. 

By the way, just now thought that the shock group in this Mouzon
depicts a rather tambourine than three different tools:)

Impose the bass on these instruments have manipulated
rate, reaching sometimes up to one (check out plug-in editor). 
Sometimes it can be used instead of the envelope 1 envelope A - 
It also gives a kick, and then quietly vibrates at a given 
frequency ... 

There are other interesting effects - click (Ironman, Justinas),
glissade on the envelope (Mmcm, Dj. Kot, Macros), bass envelope 
in mid-sample (N1k-O) ... It all sounds. That would be all in 
one Mouzon;)


P.S. (For readers not familiar with the subject under 
discussion: it is of sample, description of which occupies the 
bytes as they are generated by a chip - on the fly. Usually 
they draw for each module from scratch.)
