Intuitive Control: Navigating the Depths of Sound with a Modular System

Final Project · Istanbul Technical University · May 2023
By Fatih Acikgoz

This project explores modular synthesis and control using generative music systems built around multichannel-based additive synthesis and granular synthesis. It introduces a hybrid system that allows both collective and individual control over sound parameters via modes and interpolation techniques. The result is a flexible modular interface enabling dynamic sonic creation, personalized DAW interaction, and intuitive control for live performance.

From the perspective of human experience, reflexes and perceptions emerge as interconnected phenomena. The process of classifying all the elements we perceive and transforming them into physiological responses occurs almost simultaneously. We can consider the impact of these experiences on us as a result of the chain of actions involved in perception and reflection.
