GREAT WALL is an innovative synth that pushes the boundaries of harsh noise experimentation. Developed over several months, this powerful software aims to provide users with a platform to explore a vast spectrum of harsh noise sounds, which can often be challenging to achieve on a desktop computer.
In the world of audio hardware, the concept of “feedback” plays a crucial role in shaping unique and captivating sounds. However, replicating this phenomenon in computer-based environments can be frustrating due to latency limitations and the need for specialized gear. GREAT WALL tackles this challenge by simulating certain aspects of feedback and audio circuit amplification through a complex network of oscillators, filters, delays, and clippers.
One of the remarkable features of GREAT WALL is its extensive use of macro controls. Each control on the synth adjusts multiple internal parameters, creating a cascade effect where changes in one control influence others. This intricate interplay between controls allows for endless sonic possibilities and opens up several layers of exploration.
Furthermore, GREAT WALL offers the option to utilize its filters to track the pitch of MIDI input. While this feature may have limited use cases, it adds an extra dimension to the synth’s capabilities.
Despite the myriad ways in which GREAT WALL can produce textureless screeching, meticulous attention has been given to tuning all controls so that most settings yield intriguing results. Balancing each control’s multifaceted functionality was no easy task, but the end result is a carefully curated sweet spot. With GREAT WALL, you can effortlessly create thunderous noise walls, metallic scratching and screaming tones, and everything in between.
Get ready to unleash your creativity with GREAT WALL – the ultimate tool for exploring the realms of harsh noise synthesis like never before.
