First ever Houdini music class!


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys .. it's my last day on Mummy 3, and I have a few weeks off to do some Houdini Music and Choppiness; as well as release the book (finally, for real this time, promise).

So .. sign up for the first Houdini Music class at SESI. I'll probably also do a repeat at Siggraph, but that's still in the works.

sounds :lol: amazing! I agree, hopefully it will be recorded or made into a tutorial. There's not enough information out there at the moment and i'd love to experiment with houdini in conjunction with other tools as cubase or renoise... Sending, manipulating and writing out midi files. Altering it on the spot using geo and procedural systems...

Yeah that's exactly what I'll be covering. I use Nuendo / Reason personally :). I need to figure out the best way to demonstrate MIDI (pre-houdini/general practice) without the software at SESI's office though. I'm guessing there may be a linux program or two that can at least display notes so people get the idea. Rose Garden?? Dunno. Suggestions? Otherwise I'll just use my laptop

Reaper is supposed to work solid under wine. There is a lot of info in their forums about users having good experience with it and their hardware setups. I haven

A lot of midi tools for various linux distributions, all for free of course. Was looking at the muse sequencer. Has audio and midi support and doesn't sound to complicated for some quick midi patterns. http://muse-sequencer.org/

MusE is a MIDI/Audio sequencer with recording and editing capabilities written by Werner Schweer. MusE aims to be a complete multitrack virtual studio for Linux, it is published under the GNU General Public License. MusE has among other things support for

Hopefully it helps. Reaper sounds to do the job as well!

Yeah the notes on Muse might be what I was looking for ... Reeper looks pretty cool but it's a pay program

Howdy .. ok for those who weren't in the same city / state / country and wanted to take the class. Here's the lesson files. The first scene is a workflow that changes particle impacts into MIDI notes (you have to copy-paste to refresh the pop network and cache, some bug with pops I think). The second is copying audio based on dynamics impacts, and then recorded with a "stereo pair" for spatial audio microphones.

Enjoy!

The particle MIDI stuff isn't covered anywhere in the CHOPs book, it's just another of the many possibilities with Houdini sound
