Some Composition Goals ⇔ Relevant CDP Processes
- Add some serious grit
- CDP: 23 ways to reshape sounds using wavecycle distortion
- Harmony definition and change
- CDP: Time-varying filter banks; snap to (changing) harmonic grids in multi-event textures
- Seamless mixing of sonic features
- CDP: Numerous ways to combine/reconstruct selected components of sounds
- Texture & shuffle the insides of sounds
- CDP: Especially strong on segmentation and internal reordering
- Gradual change
- CDP: Almost every parameter can be made musically supple via user-specified time value 'breakpoint' files
- Transitions between sounds
- CDP: Morph, Bridge, Gliss, Crossovers
- Roughen surface texture
- CDP: Granular manipulations with Brassage and 15 grain-handling functions
- Introduce speech-like qualities
- CDP: Impose vowel-like formant shapes onto sounds
- Textures shaped with pitch, density & rhythm
- CDP: Multi-event texture creation with 25 parameters, most of which are time-varying. Facilities include upper and lower pitch-shape contours, density controls, defined rhythmic and melodic motifs, harmonic fields and contrapuntal layers.
- Build sounds through mixing
- CDP: Mix up to 50 sounds in one track; programs which create multi-event outputs are in effect semi-algorithmic mixers.
- Work with multi-channel soundfiles
- CDP: 14 programs with which to compose spatially
Technical Requirements
A number of technical details (see System Requirements) will help to orient the prospective user. Note that the CDP software will run under Windows 10, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. CDP on the MAC works well up to High Sierra (10.3). There will be a 64-bit compilation for OS versions after Mojave. Check the installations pages for information about handling a 'Gatekeeper' issue relating to Soundloom.
Privacy Policy
CDP holds only a minimal amount of information about owners of CDP
software, to assist with user support. It is exclusively for internal
CDP use and is never shared with 3rd parties. The Privacy Policy has been revised in 2018 in line with new government regulations, and the full text is available.
