![]() The XLFO deserves a few words of description in itself. Modulation sources can also modulate each other – you can route an Envelope Generator to the frequency of an XLFO, for example – opening up a whole universe of cross-modulation possibilities. Modulation sources can be routed to just about any filter function, including Drive, Filter Pan, Peak, Delay, Output Level and Output Pan. Volcano 3 gives you a generous modulation section that lets you insert a wide range of modulation sources, including a highly configurable XLFO which doubles as up to a 16-step sequencer, envelope generators, envelope followers, MIDI, XY controllers and sliders. When we pick a cutoff frequency, we don’t intend for it to stay there – we’re going to sweep it, apply envelopes and LFOs to it, and generally get it moving around to the music. The most obvious difference in how we use filters and equalizers has to do with modulation. In fact, Volcano 3 does a lot more than most people would expect from a filter, with the precision of a mastering EQ and the sound-mangling potential of a modular synthesizer. ![]() We also sometimes distinguish EQs and filters based on whether they boost as well as cut, and how much colour they impart to the source material. Volcano 3 now has a few features that we generally only associate with equalizers.Ĭlearly, the newly EQ-type filter shapes edge Volcano into EQ territory. At its heart, an equalizer is really a collection of filters, and the distinction between the two has as much to do with how we use them as how they are designed. And of course which style you choose will also depend on your source material, and your intentions toward it.Īs the interface might suggest, there’s a lot of crossover between the Filter and EQ categories. The impact of the styles is dependent on a variety of factors, drive, peak and slope among them. Volcano 3 offers you 11 filter styles in total, from Clean and Classic to Raw, Metal and Tube. If you want to hear something different, you’ll have to switch to another filter. By contrast, Volcano 3 gives you four slope options, from the new 6 db up to a steep 48 db, and as of this release adds “EQ-type” filter shapes – bell, low and high shelf, notch and all-pass – to the feature list.Īs for character, that elusive quality that a filter imparts on a signal, a hardware unit, with its fixed circuitry, usually offers one. My most generously appointed modular filter offers me a choice of 12 or 24 db/octave slopes, in low pass, band pass, and high pass. I look around my studio and see four slope options on one mono synth, but no band or high pass option. In the analogue world, you’re lucky if you get a few filter slopes and curves to choose from. An optional keyboard display allows you to snap filter frequencies to scale tones, if that’s your jam. Double-clicking in particular zones will pre-select a filter type for you, but a pop-up info window lets you make adjustments to filter shape and style, and enter precise values for frequency and peak. Simply double-click to create a filter peak, then drag it into position. The open, uncluttered display gives you a simultaneous view of up to four individual filter frequency peaks, a single curve representing their combined effect on the incoming signal, and a live spectral analysis display, in a lava-appropriate palette of fiery orange and red.Īdding a filter instance is easy. The Volcano 3 interface will look familiar to users of FabFilter’s other products – particularly their Pro-Q 3 EQ plugin. ![]() As a newcomer to Volcano, I’ll be taking a run at it from the ground up, with a particular interest in how it compares to the hardware filters I love – and what it can do for a mix in the digital realm. Volcano 3 offers a number of new features compared to its predecessor, including a newly redesigned interface, the introduction of four new EQ-style filter shapes, and the addition of a 6 db filter option. ![]() So I was quite intrigued when I was given the opportunity to check out FabFilter’s Volcano 3 – the latest incarnation of their popular filter plugin. Filters have vast sound-shaping and altering potential, and can truly define the character of an instrument or track. There’s a saying among modular synth enthusiasts: “You can never have enough VCAs.” And while the amplifier (the A in VCA) is an essential module, I’ve never managed to get as excited about amplifiers as I do about filters. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Numerous variants would be spawned in the decades to come, but early close-cousins the Epiphone Sheraton (1958) and Riviera (1961) have obtained classic status in their own right. Not so the ES-335, which was an immediate hit and has remained in continuous production ever since. In reality, the other big launches that year – the sunburst Les Paul, the Flying V and the Explorer – all crashed and burned by 1961 and had to wait to be rediscovered by new generations of players. Nearly six decades later, 1958 might appear to be the year that King Midas came to work for Gibson’s R&D department. The upscale ES-345 and ES-355 models were officially introduced in 1959, although 10 ES-355s shipped in late 1958. Most sources agree that 317 of Gibson’s new thinline semis left the factory that year – 267 in sunburst (ES-335TD) and 50 in natural (ES-335TDN), marketed at $267.50 and $282.50 respectively. Yet when it entered production in April 1958, the revolutionary ES-335 benefited from the various technological advances that had recently been applied to the Les Paul, in the shape of new PAF humbucking pickups, a tune-o-matic bridge and stop tailpiece. In addition to its feedback-reducing properties, the hybrid ES-335 design would deliver an even balance, light overall weight and a comfortable seated playing experience – addressing the concerns of many late-50s Gibson customers, for whom the small and heavy Les Paul Model was still something of a white elephant. Yet rather than starting with a solid centre-block and adding hollow wings to make the instrument look and feel more like a guitar, McCarty inserted the centre-block into a double-cutaway, 16-inch thinline archtop – it was a natural evolution from the thinline-bodied ES-225, ES-350T and Byrdland that had arrived in 1955 following player requests for guitars that were easier to handle. This principle wasn’t a million miles away from Les Paul’s Log prototype that Gibson rejected shortly before the United States of America entered World War II. It would get some of the same tone as a regular solidbody, plus the instrument’s hollow wings would vibrate and we’d get a combination of an electric solidbody and a hollowbody.” The variety of sounds on offer resulted from a fusion of design ideas, as Gibson responded to the needs of its mid-1950s customer base.Īpplying the company’s archtop heritage to the new demand for electric guitars that were more controllable at higher volumes, Gibson’s then-president Ted McCarty “came up with the idea of putting a solid block of maple in an acoustic model. ![]() ![]() However, nothing official has been forthcoming as to whether future updates will allow a user controlled experience of preset browsing.It’s hard to think of a guitar-based musical genre in which the ES-335 hasn’t featured in some way.

Typically in Cubist works, the viewer is more placed in motion, since the perspective presented on canvas are multiple planes as if the artist is moving around the subject and capturing all views in one image. 2), reflects the influence but features a figure in motion. His famous 1912 painting, Nude Descending a Staircase (No. Marcel Duchamp flirted with Cubism beginning in 1910 but was often considered at odds with it. Gris died in 1927, and Cubism represents a significant portion of his life’s work.įrench painter Fernand Léger was initially influenced by Paul Cézanne and upon meeting Cubist practitioners embraced the form in 1911, focusing on architectural subjects. He distinguished himself by refusing to make the abstraction of the object more essential than the object itself. Spanish artist Juan Gris remained on the fringes of the movement until 1911. ![]() Polish artist Louis Marcossis discovered Braque’s work in 1910, and his Cubist paintings are considered to have more of a human quality and lighter touch than the works of others. Wider exposure brought others to the movement. In 1909, Picasso and Braque redirected their focus from humans to objects to keep Cubism fresh, as with Braque’s Violin and Palette. The term wasn’t widely used until the press adopted it to describe the style in 1911. Painter Henri Matisse had previously described them to Vauxcelles as looking comprised of cubes. The term Cubism was first used by French critic Louis Vauxcelles in 1908 to describe Braque’s landscape paintings. Thus began the first era of Cubism, known as Analytical Cubism, which was defined by depictions of a subject from multiple vantage points at once, creating a fractured, multi-dimensional effect expressed through a limited palette of colors. Braque is the only artist to ever collaborate with Picasso, and over a period of two years, they spent every evening together, with neither artist pronouncing a finished work until agreed on by the other.īraque’s response to Picasso’s initial work was his 1908 painting Large Nude, noted for incorporating the techniques of Paul Cézanne as a sobering influence. Picasso worked with him privately on the implications of the piece, developing together the Cubist form. Picasso was hesitant to display the work to the public, and it went unseen until 1916.īraque, who painted in the Fauvist movement, was both repelled and intrigued by the painting. This portrait of five prostitutes draws heavy influence from African tribal art, which Picasso had recently been exposed to at the Palais du Trocadéro, a Paris ethnographic museum.īreaking nearly every rule of traditional Western painting, the work was such a huge leap from his previous blue and pink periods, which were far more representational and emotional. Mistakenly dependent upon a motivating theory, cubism (and, by implication, fashion) was more mechanical than human motivated by bogus utopian impulses, such as suffragism and premised on a mistaken sense of its newness as development-rather than its newness as simple and arbitrary change.Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque first met in 1905, but it wasn’t until 1907 that Picasso showed Braque what is considered the first Cubist painting, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. ![]() For these writers, cubism’s and fashion’s arbitrary claims for significance were articulated through pretentious theoretical principles and assertions of group identities. These writers turned to parody rather than just straightforward analysis, a move which allowed for a reduction of cubism and fashion into several impoverished ideas and an exaggerated display of how those ideas were embodied. These articles reveal that the predominant reaction in the daily press to cubism was not so much vitriol as an arch skepticism, a skepticism which in these pieces was also a polemical analysis of cubism and fashion’s dominant attributes. As well, it presents a short analysis of what those articles might mean. This feature reprints several early twentieth-century newspaper articles purporting to be accounts of cubist fashion shows. ![]() ![]() Shift Right-Click → Open command window here - instructions on enabling this feature in Windows 10).

Then, learning comes in overdrive and students are set up well to become lifelong learners. So, if we can start with the student's interests, we can build skills and knowledge from there.

I believe that computer science is no different than any other academic discipline when it comes to what is fundamental.

What does it look like when computer science and STEM education is going well? What does it look like when those efforts are ineffective? So ten years from now I would like to think that we will be providing all students with the computing skills they need to thrive in the global economy. I believe that this shift to more research-driven engaging teaching practices/methodologies will continue to improve our ability to engage and inspire all students.
