DSDN112 - Project 1 - Sound Creation

Creating Sound To Match The Textures  

Ableton Live is the program i am working in to create the sounds as well as trigger them in he experiment 

 The sandpaper sample that is triggered when the sandpaper is touched 

"Massive" is the virtual instrument I have used to create the sounds

The sounds I have created to match my textures have been created entirely from scratch as sine and saw waves using the virtual instrument "Massive". When the textures are touched it presses down a key on the midi controller sending a "MIDI" note to Ableton on the laptop which I have mapped to trigger the sample which the user then hears through the headphones creating a simultaneous touch/hear experience. I must articulate that this is NOT a keyboard, it is a midi controller meaning it makes no sound on its own marly sends signals to the computer. All actions and sounds expressed by the controller have been created and programed by myself. I am the owner and creator of all experiences created by this experiment. Below is a tutorial on how I made one of the sounds in "Massive". It should  demonstrate how the instrument works for those unfamiliar.
