The Quilcom Electric Bird

Sorry about this, but I’ve made a birdsong synth.
I just had to.

Shocking !!

[R&R]

This is excellent!

Birds are weird I believe they have additional lung sacs and can make continuous sound on both inhale/exhale?

So now we have the option to either play angry birds or angry electric bird?

Thank you!

I didn’t find anything about inhale/exhale in birds. Thinking about it, if a bird tweeted on inhale would you actually hear anything?

The preset Avis Iratus is Latin for angry bird.

Naturally
Seems they manage to inhale (fill their lungs) while continoulsy singing...

LOL didn't realize that, that's funny
I just saw the "Hate Bird" one...

Fascinating! I didn’t come across that fact and of course I didn’t search for it because I never expected it.

Thanks for the link!

That Skylark must use a lot of CPU

[R&R]

I imagine the Skylark is pooped out at around the same time as an average laptop continously @ 100% cpu...
By that logic... gather all birds are electric... well... bio-electric

But what's much more fascinating is... how you even come up with these waves/oscillator networks

Btw
I fully expect you to point out all the birds present in the patchbank in the actual wild

Totally insane! Not only did you capture the sound very well, but also how you laid out the controls is impressive. I mean a keyboard has been designed for chords and melodies in western scales, which birds do not tend to adhere to very much. Also, birds usually do not use a keyboard to make their singing performance. So it is quite a stretch, which you mastered in a very creative way!

I was wondering, are there birds on Volcan?

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned xoxos' work before in the context of early home-brewed physical modeling synths and your explorations, but this latest of yours immediately brought to mind his Oscine Tract.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__Sx84wJz7g Elder Thing and fauna were his other related offerings from the time. As the Dana Carvey version of Johnny Carson would say, "That is some weird, wild stuff!"
