Ultradia Sourcebook

A “must” download! Jam-packed with info, tips, “how-to,” and answers to common questions. You cannot fully benefit from working with the Ultradia psychoactives without this book.

Detail
The definitive ebook on all things Ultradia. If you have a 32-bit computer and are using Internet Explorer as your browser, you can download the book here and read it offline. For a content summary or to read the sourcebook online, visit the publisher's Ultradia page.

Ultradia Sequences

Relationship of tracks, frequencies, titles, and type of brainwave entrainment.

Detail
Concise table of the Ultradia I/II tracks, in html format, for quick reference. Download links for the mp3 files are included, if you'd prefer to just get them all quickly without going through the descriptive Music page.

Ultradia SE VSTi

Forget doing it the hard way. If you're making your own entrainments, this will save you hours of time.

Detail
If you work with digital audio, you know what a VSTi is. (If you don't, check out the forums on Links.)
 
Hockinfinger programmed this wonderful plugin to facilitate making Ultradia-based brainwave entrainments for mixing into music — and generously released it as freeware!

Ultradia VB

Does not require a VSTi host.

Detail
Hockinfinger's standalone version of Ultradia SE VSTi. In some ways more flexible than the VSTi version, you'll want to download both.

Binaural Beat Calculator

Also courtesy of Hockinfinger.

Detail
Excel spreadsheet showing frequencies based on equal temperament. Could be useful to those wishing to calculate based on alternate tunings.

Panning Calculator

A time-saving tool for audio mixing.

Detail
Excel spreadsheet to calculate panning. MIDI values and absolute/relative-to-center percentages are included. For those who don't quite trust their ears.

Tempo Calculator

This is the kind of thing that wakes Dr. Kistner up at night...

Detail
Excel spreadsheet for calculating tempo-to-entrainments and tempo-to-bars. Useful mainly for those composing Ultradia-based music.

Instrument Ranges

Taken from online resources; will help you get your sampled instruments in the “real world” ballpark.

Detail
Originally developed as an aid to preparing orchestration files in Tangent, these simple tables clearly show instrument ranges and their MIDI note equivalents.

Note Frequencies

A handy quick reference.

Detail
Frequencies of musical notes, in equal temperament, taken from the Ultradia Sourcebook.

Ultradia Scores

Is there an arranger/orchestrator who might take this on as a volunteer project?

Detail
These scores are, quite frankly, a mess. They were used as an interim means of getting the work into another program for articulation, and as such are not traditional scores at all. But we get asked for them so often that we figured this would be better than nothing. You will need Melody Assistant or Harmony Assistant to view them; the former is free. Oh, and don't even try to play them!
