For the first exercise, I used Ableton Operator and midi map to the fine tune on every oscillator and filter in the first attempt and I found that were very droney because I don’t want any silence moment. For the first exercise, I didn’t quite follow the instruction. Instead of try three separate attempts, I layer up three together. The second attempt I used Collision and midi map to Inharmony of both resonator separately. The second track were in higher pitch and shorter note which is contrasting the low drone in the first attempts. For the third attempt, I used Collision again but this time, It has more dissonance and the second resonator have even high pitch. Surprisingly, the original soundtrack are a bit similar to mine one and they both have similar feeling but mine one is more chaotic.
The second exercise, I followed the instruction and did three attempts. The first attempt, I used Operator only as I have prepared enough.
For the second attempt, I custom B to D oscillator waveform, and midi map the fine tuning and level of those three oscillator and also the frequency knob of the low pass filter. I found that quite useful to change the texture of the sound by twisting the level of every oscillator as I set the route of three oscillator go into oscillator A. Finally, I add the phaser afterward.
The final attempts were based on the second one, but I also midi map the phaser wet/dry. This time I am more familiar this setting, as different modified oscillator have different characteristic and a small twist of the volume knobs can have completely different texture. By having the ability to control the phaser, I can have more dreamy sounds and can cut out straight when changing sense. I also add the attack time of oscillator A.
The original sound design of the second exercise stocks me which have completely different feeling as I imagine. And I found the sound design can change audience’s emotion completely even virally are the same.
