INDEX

Brian Jacobs & John Paul Reid, three different waves: a sine wave, a sawtooth wave, and a pulse wave; with low and high pass filter options.

Eric Etu, "6 Partials," allows the user to play six sine waves simultaneously.

Katie Goonan and Kelly Guld, "The 12 Green Guis," harmonizing and creating quasi-music with instrument-like sounds.

Steve Hsu and Jeremy Robin, "Chord Builder," a little exercise that gives someone the experience of building chords out of any of the 12 semitones in the western scale.

BJ Lucas and Ryan Mannix, a piece that can stand as a paradigm for the future of human communication.

Schuyler Minert and Katie Heist, "Create Your Own Song," allows the player to create his or her own song by modifying each of four different phrases of our repeating basic song function in differents ways.

Kurt Peters, "Ocean Patch," the three essential sounds of the ocean -- waves, wind, and gulls.

Fred Reiss, "The Digital Blackboard," an attempt to preserve one of the more important artistic functions of blackboards -- namely the ability to run one's fingernails across them -- as classrooms move into the twenty-first century.

Jim Thomas and John Rice, allows the user to turn a few base sounds into a musical beat they enjoy.

Eric Sirianni and Rishi Sahay, allows the user to create tones of specified frequency, amplitude, duration, envelope(trapezoidal), and pan for each of the first four partials of the fundamental.

Faye H. Teng & Derek Nee, gives the user a techno beat, and the user can change the frequency, pitch, volume, and pulse width of the beat to create some funky head-nod rhythms that'd make any raver boogie with glowsticks in hand.

Dennis Walsh and Tom Catlin, "Ear Master," tests the users ability to create a tone thats matches a random tone designed by the patch, but the catch is that one tone is played in one ear, while you try to match it using the other.

Bircks and Nasser, takes a dial tone from a telephone and morphs it with six different sliders that control the frequency of the sound.

Lee Roach, and Ryan DeRose, a repeating series of sounds utilizing LFPulse, so that our sound repeated in an organized manner.

Greenwald, explores the effect of ading various kinds of noise (White, Brown, and Pink) in modifying an existing sound wave.

Ben Miller and Joe Levine, a GUI window with sliders and checkboxes controling eight different sine waves.

Roseberry and Peterson-Cremer, "ZEN MEDITATION GENERATOR," creates a harmonic world that can be manipulated to the user's own aesthetic tastes.

Josh McMullen and Juan Gonzalez, simulates falling rain, rainstorm atmospheric tones and thunderous lightning.
