Cumulative Pulses - disquiet0252 by Henk Lasschuit

Imagine pulse-generators with different frequencies.
Pulses are added together to generate control signals, e.g. for pitch, or maybe time.
The signals can be presented in an array to be used in a Pbind.
The length of this array is determinded by the lcm of all reciprocal frequencies / periods. The number of pulse-generators determines the ambitus of the signals. The signals are repeated palindromes.

Example:

period | pulses
1: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
2: 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
S: 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1

1: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
2: 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
3: 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1
S: 3 1 2 2 2 1 3 1 2 2

1: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
2: 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
3: 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0
4: 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
s: 4 1 2 2 3 1 3 1 3 2 2 1

In this case, the signal is used to play a melody. The separate pulse-generators are shown bij different steps on a randomly chosen scale. For the bass-line the melody is cut in half and each half is played on a different channel in half tempo.

I have been struggling with this piece for some time and suddenly, there it was: Disquiet Junto 252! Like a sign from above (or wherever you'd like your signs to come from). It seemed I had to do two things: 1. Stop struggling and upload. 2. Subscribe to Disquiet Junto. And so I did.
