Spongefork Description

Audio softsynth, sampler and more. Spongefork is a complete softsynth, sampler, live improvisation instrument, and soundfile processing application. SF's oscillators and interface are controllable via a unique XY based modulation controller, your computer keyboard, by external pitch tracking, or by MIDI input.Spongefork has a modular interface that makes it easyer to use and get your work done.The original SF, released in April of 1999, was one of the first applications made specifically for gesturally controlled electronic improvisation.This sense of surprise and unpredictability is one of the virtues and unique attributes of Spongefork. Whether you are searching for raw material for your compositions, improvising with live musicians, or looking for a simple way to organize and perform your live sets, SF is still one of the most interesting software based instruments available today.Here are some key features of "Spongefork":· Wave/Sample table oscillators· sine, triangle, saw, square, pulse, noise, or samples. optional volume normalization. waves/samples can be played in forward or reverse. table can be "scrambled" (rearranged randomly).· FM synthesis · waveforms and samples can be modulated together. controls for frequency range, modulation depth, modulation rate, and frequency smoothing glide.· Filters· low pass, high pass, band pass, band stop, peaking eq, low shelf, and high shelf. frequency cutoff, smoothing glide, Q, slope, gain, and peak gain control· 5 stage multitap delay processor· Full featured Mult-Tap delay module.· Loop Samplers· 5 samplers that allow you to easily loop record SF output or capture audio from the input device· Pitch Tracking from input or soundfile · synth/sample pitches can be controlled by monitoring the frequency of live input or of other soundfiles.· Live Input Processing· process real-time input sources in the oscillator or as a modulator.· SoundFile Stream Processing· stream process soundfiles directly from the library bypassing the need to load the sample into ram. It is now possible to use very large soundfiles as an oscillator or modulator.· MIDI control · all components can be controlled by external MIDI events. supports any Core Midi enabled device or via the IAC application bus. Control # preference is easily assignable.· XY control · can be via mouse with this unique modulation/frequency controller. pitches can be locked to even temperment (in tune) or be free.· Keyboard control · play your computer keyboard like a synth.· ADSR envelope editors · amplitude envelope editors for the oscillator and the modulator.· Savable patches · interface settings can be saved as presets.· Output monitor · dynamic stereo waveform display monitor. VU meters. cpu usage.· Sound file management · WAVE or AIFF supported. play, loop, or load file into oscillator. unlimited length scrolling list of files. drag and drop from the finder. can load single files or entire directories of sound files. custom playlists can be saved.· Playlist Manager· organize and rapidly switch between different saved sample playlists· Capture output to disk · this control captures any output coming out of Spongefork to file.· Core Audio device support · supports any audio device with core audio drivers.· Centralized rollover help· All components immediately display a description.Requirements:· Java 1.5Limitations:· The demo version is fully featured and doesn't expire, however you can't save your work. What's New in This Release: · Compatibility update for Midifork 2.7 integration.
