SINGLE CYCLES 




These sound design experiments explore sampling and additive synthesis with single cycle waveforms. 

Single cycle waveforms are tiny audio files that sound like a click when played once. But play them continuously as a loop, and they sound like a sharp buzz, hollow hum, or another kind of oscillating sound source. Combining them together feels like building sounds at an atomic level. These experiments take place in Koala Sampler, often resampling internal effects applied to the single cycle waveforms.
