  • Jay Tholen – Control Me

    At it’s heart, Control Me is an honest expression of my love for the Gospel. Most of the compositions were conceived as humble little hymn-like ukulele tunes. Following my tradition of unnecessary embellishment; I layered the songs beyond recognition until they became what they are now: schizophrenic heaps of sound. Everything from Shoegaze to Prog Rock to Schmaltzy 50’s Pop is emulated beneath layers of manipulated waveforms and vinyl samples.

  • RJDMC updated to v0.4

    -Pitch is implemented
    -Deleting selection is implemented
    -Fixed several bugs related to the highlighting of the window
    -Fixed bugs involving space bar triggering controls
    -Fixed bugs with lower HZ samples crashing SSRC (small files)
    -Implemented Cut, Copy, Paste, Trim, Select All, Delete

    NOTES:
    -Zoom function doesn’t work with editing the wave file yet (it acts as if you’re zoomed all the way out).
    -You can either right click on the wave display or use shortcuts to use the editor functionality.
    -CTRL+V = paste, CTRL+C = copy, CTRL+X = cut, CTRL+T = trim, CTRL+Z = revert, CTRL+A = select all
    -“quality” Pitch change right now is a bit mediocre quality-wise.  I might just have lots of copies of each .wav file in memory for small files.
    -To use copy, cut, delete, or trim you must have something selected (by dragging the mouse and making a rectangle).  To paste something, you need to click once (without dragging) and a single white line will show up- this is where the info will be pasted.
