Description
The results might remind the user of scanning through radio signals, fax-machine router noises, circuit bend hardware or even test equipment. The device is not meant to emulate any of those though. I just tried stuff out and things happened. I'm very much a beginner at building M4L devices, and I'm very interested to see how far others might mod this device.
Bi-Signal is very much best understood by experimenting with it. I personally find it most joyful to use when recording the results of my parameter tweakings.
It can also be used as its own sound source, by setting the bit-reduction parameters a certain way.
The device will sum the incoming signal to mono (part of the vibe), but the user can get stereo at low bit-rate settings.
Note:
The dynamic noise generator section first in the chain is the entire "Noise Adder" device that's available in Ableton's "Building Max Devices" pack. I didn't do any adjustments to it, since I didn't feel like it was needed.
I hope that the user will enjoy Bi-Signal just as much as I do :)
Free audio samples using "Bi-Signal" only. No examples of stereo though:
