The first round of the Audiotool Summer Games 2023 announced by Naswalt dictates that all sounds must derive from no more than a maximum of 3 Tonematrixes and an Audio track containing a drum loop. However, since I occasionally enjoy taking things to the extreme, I have limited myself to only using one single Tonematrix containing one single ping, which becomes the source of all audio heard in the track. As it turns out, it is possible to venture quite far from the tone of the Tonematrix using the built in capabilities of Audiotool.

  • how did I not see this before

  • i like the last minute, the harmony is so surreal

  • frigo you legend, also this ends too soon

  • Someone confirmed

    Only AT OGs know what I'm talking about

  • Coming back to see Frigolito on the charts is such a surreal feeling.

  • i don't have the proper knowledge of audiotool to understand how you did this

    • And unfortunately, I have not taken the time to tidy things up and label things in any helpful ways, so studying this might be a bit of a challenge. If you want to do it anyway, I believe the cueing functionality could be your best life saver.

    • Lol! You pretty much nailed it! :) Although, I'm not so sure I agree that my lead resembles a flute (not even an alto flute considering its register) and neither do I necessarily believe that adding noise to something makes it softer and clearer. I'd rather say that a bit of noise can help bring out a certain character of an otherwise dull sound, if done with taste and in moderation.

    • The lead that sounds like a flute is because he turned noise into a note (with the bandpass filter), then into a sawtooth with the tube with 100% blend (-100% is square wave distortion). Then he gave it it's mellowness by adding a crusher to introduce some noise, making it softer. Adding noise to a sound tends to make it more clear of what the sound is.

      I'm no sound technician, but all of this I know through experimentation. I advise you to study this track

  • this is absolutely surreal

  • Okay, this is cool and all, but not very fun to listen to :( Ouch my ears

    • Heck yeah! thanks for that suggestion! I'll check it out :)

      I agree, the craftsmanship is something to be admired!

    • If you want more examples of schranz, @andremichelle has put together an album featuring only schranz music: Schranz

      Enjoy! (Or don't!) :)

    • Sorry about your ears! :) Schranz, which I for my first time attempted here (at select parts), is a really audacious subgenre of techno featuring a lot of loudness and noise and often much higher bpms than this, and while I can appreciate the craftmanship and the idea of a music genre with such intense gestures, it's generally not something I enjoy listening to for recreation. However, attempting to create schranz from a single Tonematrix (with its humble sine wave) makes an excellent exercise.

  • Thanks everyone for listening and commenting! :)

  • How in the world 0.0

  • re-cemented your status as an AT legend with this one

    but you do that with every publish anyway

  • What

    The actual

    FuK.

    One freaking note.

    Holy mother of Moderator

    My mouth was literally hanging open the entire four minutes

  • opening this up and looking at it is like deciphering sorcery runes, I understand what's going on in vague strokes but to attempt it myself would only end in disaster
