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. Extract from the granular synthesis patch

Hello Sinusoid and Algorithmic Circuits

Let's get some sound out, and explore how Kronos can automate repetitive circuit generation for you.

Oscillators and Filters

Here we learn how to build oscillators with phasors and waveshaping, and build first-order filters from scratch.

Unit Delay Feedback and Musical Gestures

This time we utilize Kronos' capability of unit delay feedback by studying cross-modulation and feedback-amplitude modulation. In addition, we build a simple step sequencer and an attack-release envelope.

Granular Synthesis

Check out how to use audio material in Veneer, with an example of a polyphonic granular synthesizer.

Virtual Analog Basics

Finally, we demonstrate an alias-supressing technique, the differentiated parabolic wave. We also build an approximation of the famous resonant 24dB/octave ladder filter with nonlinearities.
