sonicLAB CosmosF 4S

• 4ch and 6ch output vbab surround spatialization for the meso events on a 2D circular plane.
• The meso events are distributed in spatial space with stochastic or mathematic curve functions.
• Compatible with any DAW supporting multi out track layouts.
• Each meso event can have independent settings and movement control.
• Control Cosmosƒ fully from external sources via OSC.

• The user intervenes with the system by controlling the parameters for the sonic event distribution on meso and micro time scales.

• All operations are in real-time; the user can input a sound source on the micro level or access different type of synthesis and modulation generators.

• Cosmosƒ introduces a hierarchy of multiple time scales  on the event distribution process + recursive audio feedback + complex modulation scheme constructed with stochastic/ deterministic functions.

• Cosmosƒ  imagines the sonic being as a multi dimensional vector in space transformed in continuum.

• The composer continuously can vary it in the timbre space within the coupling of onset time/duration/density transformations with frequency, amplitude, micro-timbre and spatialization transformations.

• It is quickly possible to form complex sonic creations that cannot be handled by traditional synthesis methods.

Stochastic Engine

• Cosmosƒ has a stochastic engine with highest precision delivering the distribution of micro and meso events inside a macro universe.

• 11 meso events and 11 micro events inside each meso event.

• Many distribution functions deciding the onset and duration of each event. ( uniform, gaussian, chauchy, lognormal, weibull, exponential, triangular)

• Powerful functions to control the time over the distribution process (clock loop speed, phase shift, rate divisions)

• Independent quantisation assignable to onset timing of meso and micro events.

• Unique, audio precision modulation scheme with 6LFO and 7LineGen’s for each micro event and 5LFO’s and 5LineGens for each meso event. 

• Rich mathematical functions assignable as LFO waveforms with stochastic modulation possibilities on speed and amplitude. LineGens are Xenakian stochastic ramp generators.

Synthesis functions

• Micro and meso events have independent synthesis engines.

• Each micro event can become a monster oscillator with optional waveform, analog waveform, noise and 12 part additive synthesis.

• Additive synthesis capable of using sine waveform or sample (aif/wav) waveforms, each partial has controllable freq and amp parameter.

• independent resonant filters (LP,HP,BP,Notch, Peak and morphing Formant) for meso and micro events

• Unique Granular delay with many windowing functions assignable independently to each micro event

• independent Ring modulations for micro and meso events

• new sawtooth-triangle-sine osc. and plucked synthesis osc.

• unique Sieves engine, which makes it possible to calculate the known musical scales and custom designed ones for mapping to multiple synthesis engine parameters at once.

• Controllable transition between raw Cosmosƒ output and sieved output serving as a continuos morph between two states.

• offers a clever MIDI response mechanism to  perform on Cosmosƒ micro events engine.

• including an audio precision arpeggiator with stochastic features offering a great sonic potential.

• stochastic preset morphing

• Parallel universes as a new paradigm in sound synthesis ! Cosmosƒ offers two macro event universes running in parallel.

• unique visualisation tools expressing the immense data flow, known as Cosmosƒ Art.
