Calliope
Posted: Fri Dec 07, 2018 5:27 am
I am producing some circus calliope music for listing # Y181212CA. I modeled a calliope with Logic Pro Sculpture. If anyone wants to give a listen and feedback on the sound, here's a track I recorded with it: https://soundcloud.com/stansongman/stro ... ay/s-zVOpg. Here's a dropbox link to the Sculpture setting for it, if you want to play around with it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s01ui23439bn9 ... e.pst?dl=0 (You put the Calliope.pst file in this folder: /Users/YOURNAME/Music/Audio Music Apps/Plug-In Settings/Sculpture)
I think it's close, but I've spent too much time on it to be objective. One thing I noticed from listening to a bunch of calliope music on YouTube, is that the wind sound on a calliope doesn't seem to change "pitch" , but this model does somewhat. I don't see a way to do that with Sculpture, but what I like about the model is that it has a wonkiness that to me sounds pretty realistic for an old steam machine. Anyways, feel free to use the plugin, and any feedback would be appreciated!
Oh, and if you are handy and a traditionalist, the December 1982 issue of Popular Mechanics has plans to make your own: http://books.google.com/books?id=-9kDAA ... cs&f=false
BTW I didn't really know where to post this, but I like to share new patches/etc. with the TAXI community for their use. I am really enjoying producing for this listing, how can you not be happy when you're playing circus music on a calliope?
