"Switch On Bach", back when Wendy was Walter. Modular systems during that
time used to to have a Noise Generator module (Pink and White I think). 
Check out the noise opcodes in the Csound opcode list. There's a Random
Noise opcode I like to use and then run thru filters before its final 
destnation.

In "Switched-on Bach" Wendy Carlos gets a nice brass effect. It sounds a 
bit like electric guitar distortion---did the Moog have a distortion 
module? I suppose it might just be a very bright pulse or sawtooth wave. 
Just wondering if anyone knows what this effect might be or how to achieve 
it with CSound.

Thanks,
Mike

I don't know anything about how switched on Bach was made, but I did
read a good article in sound on sound about synth brass sounds. The
gist was to have an envelope controlling frequency modulation (at
vibrato speeds) that hand a high start point quickly going to low
levels and that this was a good way to get a very 'brassy' attack.

  Yes, noise generators are a valuable source even in current modular 
systems...

By the way: do you have any problems with the fact that there was never 
a "real" Walter Carlos?! Otherwise there's no reason to mention this 
over and over again. I didn't notice any change in sound of the old 
recordings since then...

By - by - by the way: the album is called "Switched on Bach"

Best,
Jana
