Fragment is an online collaborative additive / spectral / granular live-coding web. platform, the spectrum is created by a live GPU script, the generated visual is then converted to audio by an additive process (re-synthesis).

Fragment is able to produce high-quality fast additive and granular synthesis simultaneously with re-synthesis support, it has many features making it a bliss to produce any kind of sounds or visuals and is aimed at artists seeking a creative environment with few limitations to experiment with, a programmable noise-of-all-kinds software.

This is a video of a from scratch live additive + granular ambient soundscapes session which show the complete workflow without any interruptions.

This video serve as an introduction/tutorial on use Fragment with a DAW, how to start Fragment sessions and output some sounds, it also show how to do some of the things shown in other videos by following the workflow.

Note : This use granular synthesis heavily with ~50 samples loaded, i can provide the samples pack if needed.

The features presented in this video are simple and centered around the core functionnality of Fragment without much code nor specific features except the usage of mathematical functions, ADSR, portamento, videos, multi-channels setup, everything else is centered around the sample code given when you start any Fragment sessions.

The code of the session can be downloaded here : https://www.fsynth.com/data/tutorial.txt

The videos used for the visuals (simple compositing) are :

The Bufferfly Effect (by ASD) :    • Andromeda Software Development - The ...  

Iconoclast (by ASD) :    • Andromeda Software Development (ASD) ...  

SEASONS of NORWAY - A Time-Lapse Adventure in 8K

Patagonia 8k

Planet Earth (Amazing nature scenery) :    • ► Planet Earth: Amazing nature scenery.  

Some amount of reverb/delay effect is added inside Renoise DAW, low-pass filters are used on granular tracks because Fragment play the grains sample as-is, MIDI sequences are coming from Renoise.
