The ball falling from a random position creates music. In the scene using the sound of chorus of Africa, the chorus echoes along the circulation code which changes at regular intervals. The scene using the Japanese koto.It is tuned by the sound used in the "sea of ​​spring(haru no umi)", so you can taste the atmosphere without discomfort. In Gamelan's scene, percussion instruments and whistles are tuned by the Gamelan scale (5 scale), and unique music is produced. You can set the frequency, falling speed, and number of falling balls, so you can play according to the setting. At the end of the performance you can save all the parameters at that time. The position of the ball made randomly is recorded as it is. Since it is played with exactly the same parameters, almost the same music can be reproduced. However, because it is a problem of numerical precision, it will not be exactly the same performance, so do not be afraid.

About

ClockTear

This audio processor simulates digital signal degradation through various clock failure modes. It offers granular control over timing instability, dropouts, and signal fracturing for unique sound design.

Highlights
  • Clock-based sample hold and timing damage
  • Four clock failure modes: Slip, Stutter, Tear, Collapse
  • Drift and jitter-driven clock wobble
  • Dropouts, stutters, folding, and digital interruption
  • Adjustable tone shaping and saturation

Clock Tear is a digital instability processor built around failing clock behavior. Instead of simple bit crushing, Clock Tear holds, slips, stutters, folds, drops, and damages the signal based on input activity, drift, jitter, and the selected clock mode. Four modes move from subtle timing instability to heavier fractured playback and collapse-style digital failure. Features • Clock-based sample hold and timing damage • Four clock failure modes: Slip, Stutter, Tear, and Collapse • Drift and jitter-driven clock wobble • Dropouts, stutters, folding, and digital interruption Modes Slip – Sample-hold clock slipping with the shortest failure range. Stutter – Adds repeating stutter behavior to the clock damage. Tear – Adds stronger clock tearing with drive and foldback-style damage. Collapse – Combines the widest clock failure range with stronger stutter, folding, and drop behavior. Controls Tear – Sets the main clock damage and drive intensity. Mode – Selects Slip, Stutter, Tear, or Collapse behavior. Tone – Shapes the artifacts from darker to brighter. Drift – Adds slow clock movement and stereo wobble. Jitter – Adds faster random clock instability. Drop – Introduces intermittent dropouts and level collapses. Glue – Adds saturation and makeup cohesion after the damage. Mix – Blends dry and processed signal.
