Sound synthesis from Double Muffled Dolphin

The automat is playing an array of sound (like a looping tape). The array is updated with data from the various modules whenever new data is available. To reflect changes on potmeters and buttons the sound is constantly recalculated. The newly calculated sound is then copied to the sound array. To prevent clicks-pops and odd things to happen “recording" (copying) is synchronized with the “play-head's" position on the “tape".

Tips for running the Applet: 1. Make sure that Java Runtime is installed and that the browser security setting permits the playing of JAVA Applets. 2. Greyed tabs mean that these have to be opened and settings made. 3. It is best to start with “DrumSynth" and click on “Activate" in “Module Control".
