AuthorTopic: Cosmo Girl II: New Free VST Synth by Elogoxa
cosmodelia
Posted: 3rd October 2002 21:32
COSMOGIRL II

New version of the old Cosmodelia's synth of
the same name. We have designed a fresh GUI,
64 new presets and automation of all parameters.

It's a 2 oscillator analog style synth, specially
geared to the creation of spacial FXs, ambient
textures and experimental music.

Cosmo Girl II is basically an effect box for spacial landscapes. It also
includes some playable patches, but they are very very few.

Well, I haven't much more to say about it: just try it yourself and post your comments here if you want, positive of negative, as you did about our previous VSTs [by the way, some of them already updated, as you will see when you visit our website]

Thanks for your attention!

Poweruser, thank you for your blessings Smile

Yes, the new Cosmogirl has some improvements, not only the GUI is much better thanks to Sahul's work.
[Check Readme file about changes or read next post Smile]. And the dll file is different.

Anyway you can send us old presets, we will adjust them to Cosmogirl II.
You can send us presets of old and new Cosmogirl to:
elogoxa@ono.com

About demos, it's better you upload your track, and you send us the URL.
Don't forget send us the URL of the webpage where is your music and you want we link.

Keep exploring the new Cosmogirl!
Be sure she's a source of surprises Shocked

Hi Poweruser:

Yes, the presets have been completely redone, now there're 64 and only a few ones of the old Cosmogirl are still there. We also made some refinements in the sound and CPU use, now the echo unit is stereo and its panorama can be controlled by slider.

Of course, the synth still uses a lot of CPU and P4 users may experiment problems (that's a fact for many of SynthEdit's instruments which use filters). So we recommend using the synth as a kind of "fx noise generator", and render tracks to wav, or even load the wavs in a VSTi sampler to play them.

Sahul.

Somehow, I screwed up my social calendar and I don't have a date for Saturday night. What's the phone number of the girl in the interface?

Oh, and by the way, nice synth. The presets really help make it. Too many VSTis come out without presets. It's nice that a large number of random setting make interesting sounds, too.

well first off thanks for all your wonderful free synths...
i DLed the cosmo girl 2 and i did experience some problems with my P4 but it became so bad that the synth would no longer werk..it was the only thing i had running in cubase 5...no other wavs or SS's.. this problem may be unfixable but just letting you know other wise.

once again thanks

I think I hate you! I think I love you! Very Happy

Downloaded and installed it, and right away I found 3-4 places I could use this synth! I've been doing a lot of dark/spacey stuff and Cosmo Girl II fits sooo well. That's the "love you" part!

It CAN chew up a lot of CPU, and my poor PIII-1.26Ghz can't handle Cosmo Girl II and too many other VSTi.. this means a computer upgrade next month to an Athlon XP 2200+.. this is the "hate you" part! Wink

A wonderful piece of work! I also grabbed 'The Devil Inside' which (again!) fits well into my current stuff. Killer tools..

Thanks for making these available!

Hi people,


warbug, we are aware that the issue with P4 is still not solved, but it has really improved with latest betas of SynthEdit. Jeff knows it, and is working in it. I don't believe the problem is unfixable, Jeff is a great programmer, it's a question of time (we all hope).

woolyloach, we want to listen to your stuff right now !!! Very Happy Do you have a mp3.com site or something similar to hear it? We really love that kind of experimental music. And thanks for your comments!.

*update*

Ok, I was fiddling around with a very simple, spacey kind of tune and came up with something that almost resembles music! Razz

You can get to it via http://www.woolyloach.com/Heptarchy - go there, click on the "The Music" button in the left-hand nav bar, and then check out the tune at the top of the list: "Cosmodrome".

ALERT: I SUCK. I've played guitar for 20+ years and only recently keyboards, I'm still in the process of coming up to speed on the ten bazillion things you have to do to be a competent solo musician, so don't bother telling me how bad I am, I already know! I have friends that check my stuff out and are not shy in telling me where I'm lame.. Laughing

The tune consists of three (!!) instruments: the Orion Platinum drum sampler, Cosmo Girl II, and The Devil Inside. That's it, it's pretty simple. There are some effects: Space Effect on the drums along with Endorphin; Spin Audio 3D Delays for the quick dying roundpan echos on the Cosmo Girl, and a touch of Silverspike Reverb-It and PSP Mixpressor on the stereo out buss. Total CPU usage, peak: 48% on my PIII-1.26Ghz Tualatin system (this in Orion Platinum).

I need a faster computer now..!

I'm downloading the song right now... anyway, would you mind us to put a link to your web in our site? We've made that already with songs from other people that use our plugins, as you may have seen. We love those tunes Very Happy

I d/l'ed Cosmogirl etc. and they're really good .... nice FX possible that it'd take me ages to program up on other synths - that is, if the other synths could do it at all. Just the sort of thing for making weird intros etc.

I fiddled around for a while without having any clue about what some of the esoteric knobs do and loved it. Pure pleasure making sounds by random tweaking.

And CPU hogging a little, but it's definitely workable on my Athlon 1.1GHz: It sounds like it doesn't like some Pentiums, but seems to run smoothly with Athlons!

It's nice to have something a bit different from the norm - keep up the good work.

I have a 1.8 GHz P4, and CosmoGirl2 crunches it pretty badly. Still, CosmoGirl2 is worth having for the sheer fun of it. With a lot of random futzing, I got about 10 presets I liked and sent them off to the developers.

woolyloach, as you can guess playing the cosmosynths i love experimental music, then, i found really weird Crying or Very sad and for this reason wonderful & interesting your track: thanks! my only objection is the fade out end, i want more! Wink

mrtoast, thanks you for sending us your presets, in what version do you do them?
i try them in the last one and my Orion Pro says they don't correspond to it.
i will try them with another version or another host and i will tell you...
i hope we don't need Orion Platinum becuase we have not it Sad

They were made in Psycle, which is free.
cosmodelia
Posted: 8th October 2002 09:14
I think i need last version of Psycle to do work your presets. i will try...

but in my version, random parameters is working, this is a important discovery by you, thank you...

in the synthedit community we were looking for some software to do that, you will find it!
mistertoast
Posted: 8th October 2002 09:43
Several Hosts allow random parameter tweaking. It's a great way to find unexpected sounds!

Works better for your synth than some others. Some synths really need "designed" patches. Happily, about 1/5 random ones are interesting for yours.

I usually just put a few C notes at different octaves in a loop and hit play, then hit the random tweaker until I find something cool.

Hi mistertoast,

I downloaded latest Psycle but can't find the way to make your presets work! Crying or Very sad . I'm doing something wrong for sure, because the Random preset function doesn't work too, it's greyed out. I load the synth, then use the Import Preset command, find your .prs and select Use from the menu, but nohing changes in the synth Shocked

If you can send them again in .fxp format it would be fine...
