ixiQuarks Description

ixiQuarks - A software environment designed for live improvisation that allows for user interaction on hardware, GUI, code level ixiQuarks is a software environment designed for live improvisation that allows for user interaction on hardware, GUI and code level. The environment enables innumerable setups with flexible loading of tools and instruments. The ixiQuarks consist of different types of tools: basic utilities, instruments, effects, filters and generators.ixiQuarks exist in 3 different forms: ixiQuarks, ixiQuarks Pro and ixiQuarks as Quarks library for SuperCollider. (ixiQuarks are written in the SuperCollider programming language). For non-programmers, we recommend ixiQuarks, for people that like experimenting with programming and write their own instruments as part of ixiQuarks, we recommend ixiQuarks Pro. For SuperCollider users, we simply recommend installing the ixiQuarks from the repository.The ixiQuarks tools are divided into the following categories: basic utilities, instruments, effects and filters. These tools all manipulate audio on audio channels and the idea is that the user routes audio from one tool to another, like connecting guitar effect pedals together. There are 52 Audio Channels by default, but that can be changed easily in the preference file. The sound channel can be stereo or mono defined by the radio buttons on the bottom of the quarks browser.The quarks browser will show the respective categories with lines in between. By pressing the 'open' button or hitting 'Return' you open the tool.Many of the instruments in ixiQuarks support Wacom tablet (for pressure) so we recommend trying it out with a tablet. We are working on support for any hardware interface for the instruments.Here are some key features of "ixiQuarks":· basic utilities: AudioIn, Recorder, Player, BufferPool, PoolManager, FreqScope, WaveScope, EQMeter, MixerNode, Amplifier, ChannelSplitter, TrigRecorder.· instruments: SoundScratcher, StratoSampler, Raindrops, Mushrooms, Predators, Gridder, BufferPlayer, GrainBox, PolyMachine, Quanoon, ScaleSynth· audio effects: Delay, Freeverb, AdCVerb, Distortion, ixiReverb, Chorus, Octave, Tremolo, Equalizer, CombVocoder, RandomPanner, MRRoque, MultiDelay, Cyberpunk, Moog· filters: Bandpass, Lowpass, Highpass, Resonant Lowpass, Resonant Highpass, Resonant, Klanks· spectral: SpectralEQ, MagClip, MagSmear, MagShift, MagFreeze, RectComb, BinScramble, BinShift· generators: Noise, Oscillators What's New in This Release: · New instruments: Sounddrops and Quanoon. · New tool: Theory (scales and chords) · Styles options in WaveScope · New play-mode in the SoundScratcher: Keyboard grains. Type your grains! · Added outbus in the SoundFilePlayer widget of BufferPool
