Veneer Patches
This section features Kronos code in visual form - as Veneer patches. The patches can run directly in your browser without installation or registration.
Delay Effects
Signal memory or delay is a key building block of many musical audio effects. This patch has a plenty of them: echo, reverb and chorus. If you have ever wondered what butterflies have in common with linear algebra, check out the feedback delay network with Fast Walsh Transform.
Generative Synth Pop
A piece of music that generates some electric synth pop grooves by using our new sequencer gadgets as well as virtual analong models.
Tutorial
In this tutorial, you will learn the basics of Veneer and build a simple synthesizer. There is a step-by-step script that will guide you all the way.
Sinusoids
This Veneer patch replicates the textual code examples for five methods for generating sinusoids with various tradeoffs in efficiency and accuracy.
Compressors
This patch shows elementary techniques for building dynamics processors in Veneer, such as computing the knee response, lag circuits and analog-style nonlinearities.
Frequency Modulation Synthesis
This tutorial features frequency modulation synthesis from the first principles. You can start from an overview of a 2-operator synthesizer with tweakable parameters, and dive into the construction of the individual operators if you feel so inclined.
Whirlwind Tour
The tour is a Veneer patch that crams a simple music machine, built from ground up, in your browser. It features retro synthesizers, arpeggiators, autopanners and reverb. It is a good way of getting a feel of what Kronos programs in Veneer look like.
Veneer Workshop
This is the material from the Veneer Workshop at the Sibelius Academy, 2020. The patches are well suited for autonomous learning as well.
