"Articulating the core systems for composition and environment building in Atrium. Methods for structuring play, while allowing and encouraging the artist to embed personal creative ideas. These systems set the rules of play, subtly redefining the specifics of familiar gestures."

  • Saving & Loading Patches: How to capture and restore configurations of Atrium's landscape
  • Contours & Drone: Envelopes, timing, voicing configurations
  • Mapping: Extend your articulations with extra hands
  • LFO: The "scroll wheel" at the heart of Atrium
  • Clock: Atrium's heart beat
  • Sequences: Decoding the light-glyphs which hold stateful memory
  • Scales: Modify pitches, arpeggiate to the clock, and turning off quantization
  • Clusters: Store voice configurations for rapid alternation
