Fragment is a collaborative cross-platform audiovisual live coding environment with pixels based real-time “image-synth” approach to sound synthesis, the sound synthesis is powered by pixels data produced on the graphics card by live GLSL code, everything is based on pixels.

Fragment is able to produce high-quality fast additive and granular synthesis simultaneously with re-synthesis support, it has many features making it a bliss to produce any kind of sounds or visuals and is aimed at artists seeking a creative environment with few limitations to experiment with, a programmable noise-of-all-kinds machine.

Fragment ship with:

• Powerful asynchronous/synchronous granular and additive/spectral synthesis engine.
• Additional subtractive/Phase Modulation synthesis.
• Complete audio/visuals live coding environment with JIT compilation of shader code.
• Real-time, collaborative app.
• Distributed sound synthesis, multi-machines/multi-core support.
• Stereophonic or Monaural.
• Polyphonic (determined by GPU capabilities).
• Multitimbral.
• 32-bits pixels data real-time capture (WebGL 2 only).
• Adjustable audio output channel per slices.
• Shader inputs (webcam, images, videos with audio analysis, audio files analysis, drawing over textures…).
• OSC IN/OUT.
• Spectral recording feature of live performances with blend modes, export as PNG and import back feature, export as WAV file (additive only).
• MIDI IN support with hot plugging of MIDI devices.
• MIDI Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression support (MPE).
• Sessions based collaborative features without authentications, collaborate with your friends easily.
• Complete documentation.
• One of the most powerful real-time image-synth approach on the market.
• And more…

Fragment optional independent synthesis program support 32-bit float signal path, band-limited noise, granular synthesis, real-time scheduling for ALSA driver under Linux, multiple outputs, the sampling rate is only limited by your drivers.

Fragment require a web browser with full support of ECMAScript 5, CSS3, WebAudio and WebGL (2 recommended), a dual core CPU with high clock speed is recommended.

Fragment require a good medium-end GPU, it was developed with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 GPU.

A ‘deterministic chaos’ synth which produces complex sounds by distorting the phase of an oscillator by deceptively simple expressions. The expressions are a ‘circle map’ followed by a ‘doubling map’.

When you listen to the demo audio files, note that there is no ‘programming of notes’ or arpeggiation or MIDI note sliding or any other pre-set sequencing going on there – even though it may sound like it! And as with all the audio files of all my synths, there are no external effects applied either.

Changing the values of the Chaosorus sliders results in a different soundset being produced by each key of your MIDI keyboard, but the soundsets are not ‘random’ in the sense that if you like what you hear when you press a certain key, you can repeat it by pressing the same key again. That’s the difference between deterministic chaos featured by Chaosorus, and dynamic stochastic synthesis featured by Blowfly – which uses probability distributions to create each cycle of the waveform.

Blowfly generates a sound-scape by applying random motion (within user-defined parameters) to the control points of a Bezier curve that defines a single cycle of the sound. Thus, both the shape and wavelength of the curve change from one cycle to the next.

Blowfly can be considered a ‘method showcase’ product as it introduces a novel dynamic stochastic synthesis technique via a functioning product, so as to bring it to the attention of other developers who may then choose to evolve and incorporate it into their existing or future products.

Of course Blowfly is useable as-is, as a stand-alone, unrestricted synth for producing a variety of new sounds and textures, just lacking in ‘trimmings’ like the ability to save and load patches.
