When I was in New Zealand I picked up this really cool field recorder. Basically it has two condenser mics on top in an xy arrangement. It has a stereo and a multi-track recording mode. I purchased it so that I can start recording my daily experiences in sound. The idea was to just sort of collect interesting things I hear/do and use it as fodder to make music and soundscapes. Some of which I will upload here once we figure out how to post sound files.
Last week I went to the pumpkin patch. I thought it would be great situation to capture sounds from a unique environment. So while Shannon and the rest of my company went looking for pumpkins to carve, I went strolling around listening for sounds and knocking on pumpkins. At one point I put the mic close to a bee hopefully recording its inaudible buzzing.
When I got back home and loaded the bee's buzz into Logic's sampler patch, I decided to make it a tone based sample, where the sampler modulates the sound depending on what note is played on the keyboard, thus creating a bee's buzz organ patch. In order for the key signature to be correct in the sampler, you have to specify the key of the sound being loaded into the sampler. As you now have already guessed, it was a B note. HA!
In addition I cut up the pumpkin knocking sounds and loaded them into a separate sampler patch. I saved the sampler file under the name Pumking Patch.
