What are your sonic dreams? 2012-01-18T00:31:46+00:00 Hi folks, I have a thread going in this forum, asking what you would like to see from Valhalla DSP in the future. This is sort of like that thread, but from a wider perspective: What are the sounds you hear in your head, that you haven't been able to get at yet? For me, there are a few "holy grail" sounds I am still seeking: - Spatial barberpole expander/contractor. I know how to make sounds spin around your head, but I want to make something that makes a sound continually expand outward, or continually implode. - Orchestra in a box. The current ÜberMod modes sound like really nice chorus and ensemble effects, but still can't simulate the sound of a full orchestra. I want something that takes a simple sawtooth, and turns it into this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiyoLa9z1ao - BoC in a box. Similar idea, but instead of adding orchestral overtones, it creates the broken 16 millimeter film recording of multiple generators of warped tape of drifting analog synths and gritty samplers that the best BoC tracks get. I actually have an idea for this, but we'll see if it works... - Ligetizer. Similar to Orchestra in a box, but with the ability to get tonal clusters. The Pendereckizer is similar, but more chromatic. - Really distorted filter emulations. In general, I want to stay away from analog emulations, but this is an exception. Urs' Diva is getting pretty good (pretty amazingly good, as a matter of fact) with the Moog ladder emulation. But my Monotron still sounds insane compared to any digital filter. I wonder if the noise and low voltage of the Monotron is part of what adds to this. Quite frankly, I might be better off building a few Altoid's boxes with Korg 35 filters in there, as these only use a few transistors (like, 5 transistors + 2 opamps/FETs). A digital emulation would take a few percent of an Intel core, which translates to several million transistors. - Distortion that emulates what REALLY LOUD sounds do to the ears. There are certain nonlinearities in the ear, that produce incredible spatial effects when listening to really really loud sounds. I love this sound, but it is really bad for me, and I can't pursue my love of this and be able to hear my own plugins. So signal processing based on nonlinearities in the ear would be cool. So what are your dream sounds? Think big here. These may never be plugins, or may not be the sort of sounds that can be expressed in plugin form. The Om vibration of the universe probably can't be captured, even at 24 bits / 96 kHz, but we can sure try.

I'd love a plugin that could take a static sine wave and turn it into a warm vocal sound.

Some people have tried this kind of effect and failed. I want a plugin that can make things sound warmer.
