A remix competition of an Algostep formula (ie, those bitwise compositions that MT Algo uses) is going on this year, the submission deadline is the first of april, which is always a bit worrying... pun intended!

I think the sincstep filter interpolation that ld0d did for my machine will seriously rock this compo, so you know... Lets show em what buzz can do

Btw: if anyone is having trouble transferring formula into MT Algo, just ask me for help. I remember putting some info up on BC about putting in parentheses in everywhere if it sounds wrong. Also, if you want a formula to put into a old build of buzz without the GUI code (ie, ppl on linux), you can ask me and i'll send you a template of the formula by using the GUI.

So it's called algostep then, eh?

Not quite sure what all this means, but I like MT Algo (and compos), so perhaps I'll get something done

the guy who came up with the one line of c idea called it bytebeat, which i prefer... i dont know much about the supercollider program and how different it might be but it certainly sounds like something algo can be molested into producing

Yeah, I'm not so sure about this competition anymore.

First, it seems it's only for SC.. The source code is way more complex then just a formula to paste in MTAlgo.
Second, it's supposed to be dubstep.

// make enveloped bass note with high harmonics (saw)
muzh = [
Saw.ar(freq * [0.996, 1, 1.014]).product
,
Saw.ar(freq * SinOsc.ar(50).range(0.99, 1.01))
].choose;
muzh = (muzh * 100).clip2;
muzh = (muzh * env).wrap(-1, 0.1);

// pikl is fodder for the filt
env2 = EnvGen.ar(Env.perc(0.085, 0.6), trig);
pikl = BPF.ar(Saw.ar(freq * 8), freq * 32, 0.1) * env2.squared * rrand(0, 0.25);

// push it through a v hi resonator whose resonant freq sweeps up or down
envhi = ToggleFF.ar(trig).lag(0.3).linexp(0, 1, 2000, 11000);
his = BPF.ar(muzh + pikl, envhi).clip2(0.01) * 10;
