01Overview

Texture Mozaik.01 is built around sound design techniques that THEPHONOLOOP links to film and experimental composers working between the 1950s and 1970s. Its sources were recorded through cassette decks, and the developer describes the sound as organic, with many small imperfections. The instrument is focused on textures, but its tonal sources also make it usable for melodic and harmonic parts. Presets and audio demos show the range of use.

Sound Sources and Character

The instrument contains over 120 sound sources, including gloomy and dirty textures alongside softer, delicate ones. Sources include a bowed acoustic guitar, violin, chromatic bells, bowed saw and flute, along with other classic sounds.

Sources are organized into three types. Standard sources loop in both standard and loop edit modes and can play chords. Impacts are available only in Source C, use loop edit mode and include four round-robin samples. Textures loop in both modes but do not track pitch, so each source plays one voice at a time.

All samples were denoised with a high-quality algorithm to prevent noise stacking when several notes play together. Some residual noise was kept to avoid denoising artifacts, and a separate noise control adds noise at an adjustable level.

Controls, Modulation and Effects

Each of the three sources can be shaped with volume envelope, filter, LFO and pitch envelope, and a random button can vary parameters. A MIX control blends Source A and Source B, and it can also be driven by MIDI or a step sequencer. Loop edit mode lets you change sample start and loop position and length.

Wow and Flutter controls add pitch instability on top of the wobble already present in the samples. Two send effects are included: a convolution reverb with custom spring, hall and corridor impulses, and a simple delay with time, feedback and mix controls.

The step sequencer is synced to host tempo and modulates the mix control. Its length can be changed, and steps can be randomized or reset.
