Saccara Version 0614

SACCARA^TM  is an ambience syntheser. It utilizes Sphinx Modular Media technology. The purpose of this software is to produce all sort of ambient noise like wind and water.

Saccara SA-01 Version 0614 consists of three sections.

• Noise
  
  The type combobox selects a noise type. Noise is kind of random values.
  Currently there only is the type Uniform White Noise.
  Other colors and derivatives are planned (Gaussian White Noise, Pink Noise, Brown Noise).
  
  The hold slider sets the sample & hold rate. Moving it sets the rate at which a new random value  is produced. In down position new values are produced at the samplerate SR. This means that each sample has a new random value. Moving the slider up produces random values for SR/2, SR/4, SR/8 and so on thus producing lower frequencies.
  
  

• Filter
  
  The type combobox selects a filter type. With the filter you can change the color of the noise.
  Currently there are
      Classic LowPass
      StateVariable LowPass
      StateVariable HighPass
      StateVariable BandPass
      StateVariable Notch
  
  The frequency slider selects the frequency at which you want to operate. For a lowpass filter all frequencies below are passed. With the quality slider Q you can adjust the sharpness at the selected frequency. This also is known as resonance. Setting the Q slider to 1.0 produces a self-oscillating effect.
  
  

• Channel
  
  The input combobox selects between the noise generator and the filter output as source.
  
  The level slider manipulates the volume which is shown in db. 0 db means full level, whereas -100 db is not noticeable. You can mute the channel without affecting the current volume.
  
  The pan slider moves the sound between left and right position. The center button sets the balance at the center position (0).
  
  The pitch slider changes the playback samplerate. At 1.0 you have the original pitch which you always can reset with the button labeled Original. Moving the slider down changes the playrate down to 1/4 of the original frequency, moving it up produces a higher pitch up to approximately 2.5 SR.
  
  

Use the play and stop button from the toolbar to start the playback. Clicking the stop button will also play a short segment of 882 samples.

The current version is freeware. You can use it for any noncommercial purpose, but for mutual benefit we would like to get some response from you.
