There's something mesmerizing about the sound around 8:50. Because of huge amount of osc's and imprefections in tuning there are lots of frequency pulsations that the brain just can't handle. But overall it sounds like a long, constantly evolving drone.

[@robnewton3368]

I think he’s unwittingly created a weapon of mass destruction or an art installation. Until it’s all finished wired in and tuned it’ll be hard to tell unless a country suddenly disappears because its resonance just happens to correspond to that of the drone.

[@DOCTOR_SONG]

WARNING : May produce a laxitave effect.....seriously powerful implications and profound applications.

[@arcticrunning8370]

I just realized that this has never been done before. We are watching history being made!

[@fafski1199]

It's been done via software in computers, however I haven't seen it done via hardware. There is always a problem though, the more sounds that you layer on top of each other at different frequencies (even with very tiny alterations between them ), the more and more it sounds like White noise, Pink noise ect. It's often referred to as being 'a wall of sound', which in a odd way is exactly what he's built. This happens because of two things: a) The frequencies and wavelengths coming from each oscillator merge and blend into each other, into one continuous fuzzy sound. Imagine merging 1000 different samples together and the fuzzy, muddy and buzzy result that you'd end up with. b) Even though us humans have a remarkable ability to pick out and separate individual sounds produced by multiple sources that overlap in frequency and in time, we have our limitations. With too many multiple incoming sources the human ear or I should say brain, can no longer differentiate between or pick out individual sounds. Basically your brain can separate individual signals from multiple signals (known as spectral segregation) up to a tipping point . However, once it goes over this tipping point due to a huge barrage of different and multiple signals to process, it goes into overdrive and then just suddenly gives in and stops even trying to differentiate individual sounds. Instead it's just processed and interpreted by the brain, as being a whole bunch of random signals (or white noise). I hate pissing on his parade, but It doesn't matter if he uses 500 or 1000 oscillators, it'll still sound to the human ear like white noise. That's unless whole bunches of the oscillators are very accurately tuned to the exact same frequency and wavelength, using the exact same waveform. However, I highly doubt this would even be possible, using this many 'knob' operated oscillators, no matter how much tweaking he tries. They'll always be some slight or minor detuning or difference happening between each oscillator.

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

@@fafski1199 I wonder how accurate they would sound if they were all DCOs ?, or would that be cheating lol.

Fantastic sounds! Please continue to create amazing sounds that we can sample and enjoy! Amazing!!!!

[@zenithparsec]

Imagine taking a FFT of some sample, then playing each 'bin' of the FFT into one oscillator (with each one tuned to each frequency)! (each bin would just be the volume of that frequency at that time). And you could warp the frequencies which would also do weird things to the original sound.... sort of a combination of digital signal processing and analog synthesis. (alternative to doing an FFT would be to make a 500 unit filter bank....but what kind of person would make something with so many parts ;]

[@Joiner113]

it would probably only sound good once every million cycles but it would be worth it for that one moment

[@pointlesstinkering]

I love this idea.

[@stereoroid]

Additive Synthesis in the analog domain? Sounds like a pretty tall order - the first usable additive synths were digital: RMI Harmonic Synthesiser, Synclavier, Kawai K5, and so on.

[@sCealt]

you'd also need as many VCAs for the windowing function and actually at least double as much VCOs to have at least a 2x overlap, then each VCO would have to somehow get phase modulated. but yeah what kind of person would make that :P

[@ThetaGames]

If each oscillator could have its own envelope, one could maybe do a wavelet transform on the overall sample and reconstruct it by adding the appropriate combination of oscillators. This could allow for really interesting spectral manipulations on long, complex samples with lots of temporal variation.
