This is a completely new Version of the title which shows the wild side of the Taiko and may be more similar to a live event. Available as Midi and Mp3. The scale is the Pelog scale, a seven note gamelan scale. ; https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmWYApv7ZBFG5UoPDZkDk7NLcqXr ; Albrecht

I believe that changing to passes=1 will fix this. I have seen it before (initially with Xfractint years ago) and have a couple of example PARs that reproduce it. It has to do with the solid guessing routines and I would guess it is caused by the change from 16-bit integers to 32-bit (or 64-bit in this case) integers. Eventually, I'll look into it. The solid guessing routines seem like magic to me. Jonathan

Folks, Increased filename length to 64 characters. Removed upper/lower case restrictions on filenames and extensions. Restoring images should now work. Resizing images by grabbing the edge/corner of the window is still problematic. Windows version (32-bit) is: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2017-11- 12.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: http://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2017 -11-12.tar.gz or look in the directory: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ Jonathan

Albrecht has an all-new fractal music composition, TaikoTrance.
by Harold Lane 10 Nov '17

Albrecht has an all-new fractal music composition, TaikoTrance. Links are below. Albrecht says: "I tried to create the sound (or what I think it is) of a Japanese TaikoShow. The scale is Hirajoshi, the instruments Taiko only, playing in groups from 1 to 3, and the rhythm - never heard before - judge [for] yourself..... The image and the IFS (Sierpinski) the same again. The image & its IFS used for TaikoTrance: 2017-11-05_SIERPIN.jpg http://tinyurl.com/SIERPIN-jpg or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-05_SIERPIN.jpg SIERPIN.IFS { 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 0.000 1.960 0.336 -0.250 0.430 -0.430 -0.250 1.820 -0.680 0.332 -0.250 -0.430 0.430 -0.250 -1.420 -0.880 0.332 } The fractal MIDI music file, TaikoTrance: 2017-11-07-TaikoTranceV2.MID http://tinyurl.com/TaikoTrance-V2-MID or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-07-TaikoTranceV2.MID Hal says: Taiko is Japanese for drum... "The Hirajoshi scale is a spacious Pentatonic (five-note) scale that evokes images of Japan." Here's a link to a screencap of TaikoShow drumming: http://tinyurl.com/Screencap-of-Taiko-Drums or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-07-Screencap-of-Taiko-Drums. jpg The screencap was taken from this TaikoShow video: http://tinyurl.com/TaikoShow-video or: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeLgSZssMJM&feature=youtu.be Albrecht's piece has an energetic start, and the shifting rhythms provide occasional syncopation and anticipation of the beat which I find very pleasurable. As the piece progresses it appears more "laid back." The tones of the drums are very pleasing to me -- compared to the simple thumping of a bass drum. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

early fractint?
by Bill Jemison 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Does anyone know where can I access earlier versions of fractint? I am particularly interested in pre-ver20.0, including incremental releases. Thanks! Bill Jemison Audio Fractals <https://sites.google.com/site/audiofractals/home>

Lee Skinner par file
by Edward Montague 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

I've downloaded the file LHS_MF01.PAR . After renaming it to LHS_MF01.par and using @ then F6 , within xfractint , I'm able to load the file and generate the image ; as seen at his website. I see the parameters , however the formula isn't obvious , there's reference made to fractint.frm , however I don't find the formula there.

Square Dance
by Albrecht Niekamp 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Repeat my last message as it apparently got los and did not make it to the forum ; Hal, thank you soo much for all your efforts! ; After listening to all 3 files in WAV mode again I still think espeacially the Sierpinski Stomp still is worth listening indeed, a rhythmiic trip - sry. David, I think you too use the "Direct Midi to MP3 Converter" Super Software ! Recommend to convert it to WAV using the direct recording mode and your very good Midi font. 110MB !

Albrecht's new fractal music:: Square Dance & Sierpinski Stomp
by Harold Lane 06 Nov '17

Albrecht's has created two new fractal music pieces: Square Dance & Sierpinski Stomp. Below are links to the sound files and the IFS images used to create the music. Their Iterated Function System formulas that created the images -- which control part of the music creation process -- are included in this email.

Albrecht says, . "The new material for me is fascinating . and the best I have ever done. So here is a long (150 Bars) . version with the Sierpinski [image used] for scanning. . . Many interesting sounds only show after more than 100 bars . due to the shifting [nature of the rhythms.] . . This IFS is a special one as it evokes rhythms not available . with any other IFS. Maybe you like it too, kind of jazzy." 2017-11-05_Sierpinski-Stomp.MID http://tinyurl.com/Sierpinski-Stomp-MID or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-05_Sierpinski-Stomp.MID Bonus Image from Albrecht ------------------------------------ 2017-11-04_Non-Square-Dance-fractal.png http://tinyurl.com/Non-Square-Dance-fractal-png or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-04_Non-Square-Dance-fractal. png Hal says, "It's a very nice image. The yellow, blue and green bands of colors in the color map even make their own 3-armed spiral converging at the center! And the red, purple and blue color bands *also* make a 3-armed spiral between the arms of the other spiral! Very nice!"
