Saccara SA-01
Ambience syntheser.
Saccara's purpose is to produce all sorts of ambient noise like wind and water.
Saccara SA-01 consists of four sections:
-Modulators
This section has 3 LFO's (Low Frequency Oscillator). The shape combobox selects a waveform.
You can choose between
-Sine
-Triangle
-Pulse
-Sawtooth
-Random
The frequency is adjustable between 0.005 and 50 Hz.
With 0.005 Hz the shape will repeat each 200 seconds.Ê
The LFO outputs are connected to the other sections. Thus you can take any of the modulators
to control a value in the other section.Ê
-Noise
The type combobox selects a noise type. Noise is kind of random values.
Currently there only is the type Uniform White Noise.
Other colors and derivatives are planned (Gaussian White Noise, Pink Noise, Brown Noise).
The hold slider sets the sample & hold rate. Moving it sets the rate at which a new random value
is produced. In down position new values are produced at the samplerate SR. This means that
each sample has a new random value. Moving the slider up produces random values for SR/2,
SR/4, SR/8 and so on thus producing lower frequencies.
-Filter
The type combobox selects a filter type. With the filter you can change the color of the noise.
Currently there are
Classic LowPass
StateVariable LowPass
StateVariable HighPass
StateVariable BandPass
StateVariable Notch
The frequency slider selects the frequency at which you want to operate. For a lowpass filter all
frequencies below are passed. With the quality slider Q you can adjust the sharpness at the
selected frequency. This also is known as resonance. Setting the Q slider to 1.0 produces a self-
oscillating effect.
-Channel
The input combobox selects between the noise generator and the filter output as source.
The level slider manipulates the volume which is shown in db. 0 db means full level, whereas -100 db
is not noticeable. You can mute the channel without affecting the current volume.
The pan slider moves the sound between left and right position. The center button sets the balance
at the center position (0).
The pitch slider changes the playback samplerate. At 1.0 you have the original pitch which you always
can reset with the button labeled Original. Moving the slider down changes the playrate down to 1/4
of the original frequency, moving it up produces a higher pitch up to approximately 2.5 SR.
