Welcome to the 'Make-It-So'
An experiment to create an alternative method of navigating techniques, sounds & their discussions!
This is a user driven launchpad of intrigue: An informal depository of ideas, nuggets of gold, tips for success, avenues of exploration, and perhaps even moments of humour.
If you find something technically inaccurate,- (Shock!) - or you have an alternative solution, feel free to edit, educate, inform, and entertain us.
The MakeItSo needs you! Tweaky editing is now mandatory (lol), I am sure you have a tip/technique/sound/idea to share about your experience with new users. PleaseAndThanks

Open up a Tau, drag in recording of human or animal vocalisation, then drag in another mechanical, electronic and or rhythmic source preferably with a few transients, save it, rummage though the galleries. Try the morph patches, slow the rate right down, experiments with different mixes of the amplitude, time, and frequency morphs. --

MadNoiseKymaTau.mp3: You get the idea. Sorry if it distorts at the end. The sound is based on a gallery sound created in manner described above. This particular sound whilst I forgot to add some stereo elements is quite fun.
It is a live recording with most of the movement generated from the VCS Faders and rotarys. I can hear the chopper, combfilter and a ampfollow modulated reverb, however can't actually find the original sound at this moment :-)
It is so easy to add !KeyPitch to the frequency tab and instantly 'robotize' (
VP9000 revelers will know all about that) the whole sound. (You can impose keyboard/midi melodic elements upon your insanity) I have played this audio to a few people along the way, and so far no one has been able to tell what two words are encoded in the TAU, the only clue I will give you is that it is from an answerphone message. I personally think the words are completely audible. --

MultichannelToMonoMix?
Here's how you can convert a filter (or any other monophonic processing module) to one that processes the left and right channels of the input independently:
1. Start with the "Process Stereo" Input module from the Prototypes
2. Replace its default input (a
GraphicEQ?) with your Filter
3. Option+Drag your stereo input into the
SharedSounds? field of the "Process Stereo Input" (optionally deleting the default input that is already in the
SharedSounds?).
This works for any of the mono processing modules.
In a slight variation of the above example, suppose you have a strictly monophonic processing chain (mono input and mono processing) and you'd like to have independent controls over the left and right channels of the output?
To do that, simply drag the "Stereoizer" Prototype and drop it on the line to the right of the last module in your chain, and option+drag the input into the
SharedSounds? field of Stereoizer.
Similarly, the "MonoToMultiChannel" can take a mono processing chain and replicate it in up to 8 output channels with 8 sets of independent controls.
(thanks Carla!)

Anti-Aliased - One of the significant artefacts of digital synthesis is Aliasing. - Inharmonic & Unwanted artifacts imposed upon your signal created by trying to encode frequencies beyond your sample resolution.
As described in the discussion above, Pete's solution: The Surbiton Technique, Pete rather ingeniously devised a method of band-limiting the oscillators in real time, taking into account the sample rate you are currently working at! You can find examples by using apple + F >*'urbi'*, use apple + G to move on to the next search result.
To achieve a warmer lush soaring oscillator setup, program very small random fluctuations in frequency, amplitude and other obvious parameters. See 'unpredictable'

Band Specific
You can assign midi CCs by 'learning'. You can do this on the vcs by control or right clicking a fader/knob/button and choosing learn.
It is also possible to to do the same directly into the parameter window by pressing the escape key. If you do this and play a triad/chord, it will select !NoteVelocity .

When sequencing & processing electronic synthesised and sampled rhythms, reducing the bit-depth to 12bit or 14bit and sample rate to 22kHz or 32kHz immediately provides a step towards classic sampler or drummachine sound. This is easily achieved with
DownSampling.
There is a wide array of tools available to lengthen the period over-which your encoded audio is played.

Fantastic choral pads,washes, and ambiences can be created with combinations of wavetable synthesis (set the tone with some vocalisations), the modal filter (carve the formants) and granular processing (build up the congregation) Yes, I must create a sound illuminating the wonder.

Fractional Delay
The question with no conceivable solution A Fascinating read! The theory and implications of having a go at removing reverberant material from a signal. The Anti-Convolution.
Here's a list of parameter fields where you can paste a Sound and remove the 'L' to have it run at the full audio sample rate:
Oscillator: Envelope
ModalFilter?: Envelope
Level: Left, Right
TriggeredSampleAndHold?: Trigger
VCF : Amplitude, Resonance
Remove 'L' if you want it to be read at sample rate.
