p3r_ntch: drawing based synth

I came across this piece of freeware on Studiotoolz, which for those of you who don't know it is a site dedicated to collating all the freeware apps available for Mac OSX. The good news for windows users is that some of the stuff on there is also dual platform. The sort of apps available ranges from the generic to the truely bizarre. This app. called p3r_ntch creates music from the paterns you draw in the sketchpad. Built with max/msp, it seems to use a 6 operator FM synth to generate the sounds, which explains the organ/bell-type quality to a lot of the music it creates. Its simple, fun and is capable of creating some surprisingly pleasant and beautiful sounds.


Here's the link to the Studiotoolz page with the download (as well as some more info)
and here's the piece of music created with the picture shown in the screenshot.

Feral Cd now available and exclusive track available for download at myspace.com

My New Cd " Feral" is now available via the noisy image website, priced 12 euro, and can be bought via paypal. For those of you who don't have paypal or would prefer not to use it then please email me for alternative payment options.

Also I've put a brand new, exclusive track, entitiled "Analog Days" available for free download via my myspace page. It's a very different sort of piece from the stuff on "Feral" as after having worked for so long on the CD I really wanted to do something unashamedly electronic again.

Hope you like it
