sonicLAB has introduced the unique stochastic audio modulator VOLBot in 2019. And now comes its midi modulator equivalent.
Compositional practice is about constructing and organizing multiple layers of sonic material at first step. In production, we use DAWs to preset this material on separate tracks with either synthesised sounds in real time, or recorded material as sound files or live audio input.
This simultaneous overlapping of sonic material creates the sonic emergence which is a unique aspect of the composer.
The control of each track instrumente/synth on a DAW has been offered with sliders to manipulate on real time and scoring possibilities with the relevant automation data for each track on the time line.
There are no practical solutions or an engine to creatively manipulate these synth sound sources / DAW instruments on multiple tracks at once with a common gesture in real time. !
The VOLBotM is exactly filling this gap. And it is does this with a very rich generative engine to assist the composer.
VOLBotM is a super LFO ( Low frequency Oscillator ) which generates up to 4 iterated versions of it at once as modulator signals to be mapped to selected Midi CC destinations addressing your synth instruments.
With the distributed audio plugin architecture of sonicLAB, you will be able to control an entire fleet
of DAW track instruments together in real time with your parameter controls on the VOLBotM while communicating with the VOLBotM clients on other tracks.
Be it stochastic complex control waveforms to interact with or simple touches, this data serving as midi modulator will be shared among all existing VOLBotM’s. This opens a wide range of creative possibilities for your production.
Since a stochastic function generates numbers on random iterations, although each instance of the VOLBotM client will be on the same distribution range as the server, it will demonstrate a variation of the intensity modulation created by the VOLBotM server.
VOLBotM and VOLBotM client instances are located on separate DAW midi tracks on plugin slots and the VOLBotM communicates remotely with its clients. You can assign the generated modulator mappings to Midi CC messages individually and set the offset and attenuation factors to reshape them.
VOLBotM and VOLBotM client plugins come in VST and AUFx formats for Windows and OSX 64bit systems.
