Ear Training
Three short experiments. Each one demonstrates a core idea — filtering, wavefolding, and generative mutation.
These are digital approximations played by your browser. Your actual Labyrinth will sound richer and more alive — but the shapes are the same.
The filter
Hear what cutoff and resonance do
A sawtooth wave runs through a low-pass filter. The CUTOFF slider is the threshold above which frequencies get removed. RESONANCE emphasizes whatever is happening right at the cutoff point.
The wavefolder (VCW)
Folding a sine wave into harmonics
A pure sine wave goes into the wavefolder. As FOLD increases, the wave gets amplified then 'folded' back on itself — adding new harmonics that turn the pure tone into something chiming and complex.
CORRUPT
The Labyrinth's defining knob, simulated
An 8-step sequence plays. Every time it loops back to step 1, CORRUPT decides — for each step — whether to randomly mutate it. At zero the sequence repeats perfectly. Past about 30% it becomes chaotic. The sweet spot is just barely above zero.
