EmissionControl2

EmissionControl2 (EC2) is a new standalone interactive real-time application for granular synthesis and sound file granulation. It is available for OSX, Linux, and Windows.

Features include:

• Granulation of multiple sound files simultaneously
• Multiple simultaneous grain streams
• Synchronous and asynchronous grain emission
• Intermittency control
• Per-grain signal processing (envelope, waveform, amplitude, frequency, spatial position, filter center frequency and resonance)
• Unique filter design optimized for per-grain synthesis
• Matrix modulation control of all granulation parameters with six LFOs
• Real-time display of peak amplitude, grain counter, waveform, and scan range
• Scalable GUI and font size
• MIDI Learn enables mapping to any MIDI continuous controller.
• Code is open source and available at GitHub
• Maximal "Grain Integrity" (tm)

Building

Debian

• This project uses cmake to build so if you don't have cmake then install it (Minimum version: 3.13) and make sure your c and c++ compilers are defined in your environment.

• Run the following in a terminal to install the necessary libraries for building:

sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libasound2-dev libsndfile1-dev libfftw3-dev libjack-dev

• git clone the repository and run some the scripts that automate the configure/build/install process.

git clone https://github.com/EmissionControl2/EmissionControl2.git

cd EmissionControl2/ecSource

./scripts/configure.sh

./scripts/build.sh

sudo ./scripts/install_linux.sh (this will put the binary in /usr/bin and set up resources in the paths where EC2 expects them to be)

To undo the files installed with install_linux.sh script, I've included the scripts/uninstall_linux.sh script as well.

Arch Linux

• Must have cmake (3.13 or later), git, and base-devel packages installed.

git clone https://github.com/EmissionControl2/EmissionControl2.git

cd EmissionControl2/ecSource

./scripts/configure.sh

./scripts/build.sh

sudo ./scripts/install_linux.sh (this will put the binary in /usr/bin and set up resources in the paths where EC2 expects them to be)

To undo the files installed with install_linux.sh script, I've included the scripts/uninstall_linux.sh script as well.

OS X

You must have cmake installed (version 3.10 or later), and Xcode (hopefully we can get rid of this dependency soon).

• First, clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/EmissionControl2/EmissionControl2.git

• cd into EmissionControl2/ecSource

cd EmissionControl2/ecSource

• run configure script:

./scripts/configure.sh

• run build script:

./scripts/build.sh

Windows

Coming soon...
