Compositor gameplay
After building the automatic part of the program code for Compositor RT-z128 application, main goal is to test this standalone as a music application. Such test includes the creation on its base of the virtual hybrid synthesizer Compositor 4 with RT-zX marking, which has the ability to switch layers and also the z parameter in wide boundaries. RT-zX generates melodic patterns in relation to locations in RT-z128 coordinate system. Virtual synthesizer RT-z128 subdivisions on physical modeling, waveshaping and granular synthesis. This gives three types of synthesizers in one: the first one sounds as an organ, second has a harsh wave distortion sound and third is subtractive, analog modelling synthesizer.
The coordinate system tunes in different sequences and sounds. There is an ability to switch sequences using Phase and Constellation (coordinate system vectors) changes. Each of them tweaks the programmed location on which vector is pointed.
On the RT-zX display you can view the direction on this map location, which constitutes the particular sound. In RT-z128 there are internal generators – this is your player signal. Also, program can receive the external radio ether signal – this is the second player signal, which played on analog synthesizer and resynthesized using system RT-zX waveguide. This way the identification of friend or foe on the game map is achieved. When you wish to know the location of player 2, you turn off the physical modeling and waveshaping modules, making an amplitude of this modules in GUI on 0. In RT-zX physical modeling modules marked as Window function 1, 2, 3, and wave deformation as Waveshaping 1, 2, 3. The signal, which you hear when the RT layer is turned on, constitutes the signal of external synthesizer, which is used to mark second player map locations. Next, your task is to sample the map with the use of RT-zX – you find the locations, which constitute the different vector orientations with the use of second player synthesizer sounds. Using the Constellations menu, you change the display of map locations, and this way open the field map. You find the merging map areas using multiplier as an instrument of orientation after setting the right Constellation. You are starting the game with the closed field and sound textures, which constitute RT-z128 soundings replaced for music design in such a way, that each synthesizer pattern constitutes only one melody. What is more you are hearing melodies of your player, which are based on melodies played with internal physical modeling synthesizer of RT-z128, but your opponent hears melodies, which are based on the replacement of external analog modeling synthesizer RT-zX.
