The main mission in this episode is to add a scrubbing feature to the virtual tape looper that we have been making. This allows one to skip around through the audio in real-time. Several techniques and considerations for debugging pd patches are also explored int his episode. Dr. Lawrence W. Moore looks at how number boxes can slow down your patches and how they may best be used in debugging. He needs to utilize his skills in debugging when adding the scrub feature and making sure it works properly with everything else. Pure Data, like any other programming environment can be pretty unforgiving.

We are about to go on an adventure in which we will learn about the art of synthesis using the open source programming environment, Pure Data. PD is a free download and is a very wide-open creative environment for artists to create all things audio and MIDI. It is a great way to learn synthesis as it allows you to build synthesizer components from the ground up to truly know what they are and how they function. This series is dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of synthesis so that one will be able to apply this knowledge to any software or even analog hardware synthesizer in the future. In this series, the learning of Pure Data and synthesis is made easy. This episode goes over some of the basics of PD so that one can become more comfortable with the software. Additionally, digital audio fundamentals are covered, specifically sampling rate. This episode shows how sampling sound is a process of converting electrical signal into digital information that can then be managed and visualized in a waveform display. Digital audio is composed of numbers that store the information of the waveform of the sound that was sampled.

This is a sound experience for relaxation, meditation, and sleep. Over the course of 2 hours, the listener will experience ocean waves for the purposes of natural relaxation and binaural beats that are tuned to produce delta brain waves. Various effects are used throughout to help produce a calm mind and reduce internal verbal dialogue. The black screen is provided for those who prefer not to have visualizations or excess light from the screen. The pacing id designed to entrance the mind and produce a quiet state of consciousness.

Now that we have a sampler that records, plays, and has pitch controls like a virtual tape looper, it is time to set the start and end points for looping. This allows for one to loop certain regions of the sample that was recorded. This would allow for an attack, a looping audio region for the sustain, and then a release when the sample is to end and play out its decay tail. In this episode, we will see how you can make a sampler mechanism for looping sustain as well as a fun virtual tape looper that allows one to loop different regions on the fly.
