Or clap or whatever. I don’t actually like snare drums or their ilk very much.
\nHere’s the part where I can push faders around to get good values:<\/p>\n
\n\n(\n SynthDef(snare, {|out = 0, freq, rq, hpf_d, hpf_cv, curve, dur, amp, pan = 0|\n \n var noise, hpf, hpf_env, env, panner, imp;\n \n noise = PinkNoise.ar(1);\n imp = Impulse.ar(1\/(dur + 0.1), 0, amp);\n \n env = EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.0005, dur, amp), doneAction:2);\n hpf_env = EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.001, hpf_d, hpf_cv, curve)) - 12;\n hpf = RHPF.ar(noise, (freq.cpsmidi + hpf_env).midicps, rq) * env;\n \n panner = Pan2.ar(hpf + imp, pan);\n \n Out.ar(out, panner);\n }).store;\n \n\n Conductor.make({|cond, freq, rq, hpf_d, hpf_cv, curve, dur, db|\n \n freq.spec_(freq, 200+660.rand);\n rq.spec_(rq, 0.45 + 0.1.rand);\n hpf_d.sp(1, 0.0001, 1.45, 0, 'linear');\n hpf_cv.sp(24, 0, 36, 0, 'linear');\n dur.sp(1, 0.0001, 1.5, 0, 'linear');\n db.spec_(db, 0.2.ampdb);\n curve.sp(-3, -1, -8, 1, 'linear');\n \n \n cond.pattern_(\n Pbind(\n instrument, snare,\n db, db,\n freq, freq,\n rq, rq,\n hpf_d, hpf_d,\n hpf_cv, hpf_cv,\n dur, dur,\n curve, curve\n )\n );\n }).show;\n)\n<\/pre>\nThat requires the Conductor Quark. I’m not sure about that sound design, anyway. And here’s the final version:<\/p>\n
\n\n SynthDef(snare, {|out = 0, hit_dur, amp = 0, pan =0|\n var noise, hpf, hpf_env, env, panner, imp;\n \n noise = PinkNoise.ar(1);\n imp = Impulse.ar(1\/(hit_dur + 0.1), 0, amp);\n \n env = EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.0005, hit_dur, amp), doneAction:2);\n hpf_env = EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.001, 0.92, 16.8, -5)) - 12;\n hpf = RHPF.ar(noise, (78.34 + hpf_env).midicps, 0.57) * env;\n panner = Pan2.ar(hpf + imp, pan);\n Out.ar(out, panner);\n }).store;\n<\/pre>\nMake of it what you will. That single impulse at the beginning gives it a good start, but it doesn’t have that paff or bappff – that roundness of attack – of a real snare or even a good analog drum machine. I used to have such a machine, which I didn’t actually make ver much use of. Now it lies abandoned in California, alas and woe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
