Rossum Panharmonium 1/2: explained

The Rossum Electro-Music Panharmonium Mutating Spectral Resynthesizer is a very unusual signal processing module: It studies the incoming signal, breaks it down into its most dominate frequency components, and assigns those to a bank of up to 33 oscillators to re-create (re-synthesize). You can choose which band(s) of frequencies to analyze and how often that analysis happens, and on the output side transpose it, blur it, decide what core waveform us used for the resynthesis, and perform other “mutating” functions including feedback looping. This first movie gives an overview of how Panharmonium works. It does not dive into every individual feature (there’s a great manual that already does that); this is intended to give you an understanding of how it works, and to quickly get you up to speed using it: 00:00 examples 01:08 overview 01:53 audio ins & outs 02:27 starting configuration 03:17 the sound sources 03:36 Analyzer: Slice & Multiply 04:12 Modifiers: Voices 04:49 Modifiers: Blur & Gide 06:35 Analyzer: Center Frequency & Bandwidth 08:03 Modifiers: Frequency & Octave 09:08 Modifiers: Feedback 11:04 Spectral Warping 12:36 Modifiers: Waveform 14:14 teaser for rhythmic applications The second movie in this set dives into a particular interest of mine: rhythmic use of the Panharmonium.
