VOSIS Pro vs Monandaeg

VOSIS is a synthesizer combining audification of greyscale pixel data with several image filters. It is a tool for image sonification, visual music composition, and experimental sound design. The audification of pixel luminance values creates shape-timbre relationships. Pixel scan rate is controlled in terms of note interval, octave, and scale to give varying pitch between image regions. The ADSR envelope allows one to play images as a non-linear sequence of pitches with varying wavetable/timbre. VOSIS Pro adds several features to VOSIS useful for sound designers and musicians: Save and load custom presets, connect a MIDI keyboard and play regions with keys, map any control and region positions to MIDI CC, unlimited recording and screen mirroring with no watermark, downsampling/blur/sharpen, and tremolo filters, subdivide large regions into step sequence mode, load video files (iPad and Desktop versions only).

Mōnandæg plays your own recordings through a wave folder. Up to eight takes stand in a row, A to H. At any moment one or two of them are heard (PLAY), and one or two others are only listened to (FOLLOW): their loudness becomes voltage that pushes the fold — how hard it bends, and where the bends land. Every take has a gate of its own, wired into a small network; when one fires, the roles change hands. The piece keeps rearranging itself out of the sound itself. · A–H — eight takes. Tap the top of a cell to load a file, hold it to clear the take. REC→ chooses the take the microphone records into. · I · II · III — three fold stages in series, each an XY pad. · The net — how many takes, who plays, how they are read, when they swap. · FREEZE — one moment held as a chord. · BREAK — cuts and rewrites the files. · LOOP — one loop built from pieces of all of them. · TEXTURE — tape and disc: wow, flutter, hiss, skips, dropouts. · SEND — echo, room and sweep. · VOICE — the device reads a line of text aloud into a take of its own. · RADIO — internet radio as a source. · BASIC — one key: four takes, one heard, one listening, swapping every couple of seconds. · DRIFT — the pads and knobs move by themselves. iPhone and iPad, in landscape. Your recordings stay on the device.
