Are there any programs similar in nature to metasynth available for PC? If so, where can i get them?I know PCs are crap for music but i can't afford a Mac. Thanks |

wot is metasynth? |

It's a synth program for Macs but it uses images to make sounds and is a lot more experimental in its interface. I have a program called Colagula (or something) which does something similar but it is not possible to sequence within the program |

it is called coagula and it was available via www.sonicspot.com i think, but only older versions will work with the pc: i dont have the zip file anymore so i can't mail it :( good luck |

I have the coagula, and it works. I was just wondering if htere was any software that could combine the whole Image-to-sound idea with a sequencer. thanks any way jingle |

beepmap? i have fruityloops and use it rarely. I never noticed that feature on it tho, must check it out. thanks The reason i'm looking for this software is that i find a lot of the programs available very uninspiring and have trouble getting the sounds from my head thru my hands into the computer. i've had sounds kind similar to those in Confield in my head for years but haven't found a program that can create them in a way i'm happy with. I've tried samplers, reason, granulab (If only they could build a sequencer into it!!!!) and countless others but with no luck |

if you use a program like corel draw then you can "snap" lines to coordinates and use rhem to give pretty accurate scales etc (may require some maths tho) or simply draw a 12 pixel high 16 pixels across bmp with each pixel being the equivalent to one semitone/ 16th of a bar thingy. then coag can render them and you can do an import |

seriously, to get the sounds in your head out simply use your mouth to do them then process them so that it doesn't sound like a bloke doing beeps squeeks and wooshes: it actually works very well. also use the cv gates in reason to do confield type stuff as if you rig it well enough it will start churning out mental shakes and screeches and beeps |

Sounds cool! I'll give that a try,thanks. any other board i've posted a similar question on only gets replys from wankers saying "PCs are shite, Buy a Mac". I know PCs are shite but i'm a poor student. I live on noodles for fuck sake! :) anyway, thanks guys |

things like coagula are guess work really arent they? i mean, you can get the timing right by using pixels spaces and stuff, but are you really gonna know what it sounds like untill you listen to it? sounds to me like you need a good softsynth. really, i would advise Absynth. its the best ive ever used. if you know anything about synthisis its fairly easy to make whatever sound you want. and also with the extensive envelopes, you can make all sorts of loops and stuff. its damn cool. ive only had it 3 weeks, but it seems to be taking over from my whole kit! |
