By mdsp @ Smartelectronix. AnalogDelay is a delay unit followed by a 2nd order lowpass filter with saturation. The delay-time can evolve between 0 and max-delay which lets you be very accurate. You can also synchronise the delay to the tempo with different resolutions from 1/128 to 1 bar and control the way the delay-time is interpolated with the kind of interpolation and the time-constant....

by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixBuffer Override can overcome your host app's audio processing buffer size and then (unsuccessfully) override that new buffer size to be a smaller buffer size. It makes a lot more sense if you just try it out and hear what it does. It can sound like a stuttery vocoder or a stuck beat shuffler or many other delightful things. In certain hosts, you can also "play" Buffer Override via MIDI notes and even sync it to song tempo.... [more]

by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixEQ Sync is a ridiculous equalizer. You have no control over the EQ curve, if you try to adjust the faders they will escape, and the EQ parameters don't make any sense anyway. The EQ setting changes on its own according to your song's tempo.... [more]

by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixGeometer is a visually oriented waveform geometry plugin. It works by generating some "points" or "landmarks" on the waveform, moving them around and messing them up, and then reassembling the wave from the points. Each of these three stages can be done in a variety of ways, combining to make millions of different effects. However, Geometer has a real-time display of what your settings are doing to the sound, and a prominent built-in help system to explain what each setting does.... [more]

by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixMIDI Gater is a simple, handy, MIDI-controlled gate. When you play a MIDI note, audio turns on. When you release the note, audio turns off. MIDI Gater is a little unusual, though, because it is "polyphonic." What that means is that a copy of the audio signal is created for every MIDI note, and the volume of each copy is sensitive to note velocity. The level of sensitivity is adjustable. The volume between notes is also adjustable, in case you don't want your audio signal turning off completely.... [more]

by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixMonomaker is a simple mono-merging and stereo-recentering utility. You can use it to progressively mix down a stereo signal to mono and you can use it for equal power, center-shifting pans.... [more]

by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixRez Synth allows you to "play" bandpass resonant filter banks that process your sound. In the right hosts, MIDI notes can trigger individual filters or banks of filters (up to 30 per note) with controllable frequency separation.... [more]

by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixRMS Buddy is a handy tool for tracking RMS and peak volume information. It provides a cumulative, running average RMS of the audio signal, momentary RMS values, and it keeps track of the peak volume levels.... [more]

by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixScrubby goes zipping around through time. Speeding up or slowing down playback, moving backwards or forwards, Scrubby does whatever it takes to reach its destinations on time. If necessary, you can discipline Scrubby by using pitch constraint control, and of course you have a choice between robot mode and DJ mode.... [more]

by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixSkidder turns your sound on and off. While that may not sound very rewarding, you have a great deal of control over the rate, pulsewidth, on/off slope, panning width, etc. You can also relinquish some control to randomization. Skidder can also sync with your song tempo and can be triggered by MIDI notes.... [more]

by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixTransverb is like a delay plugin, but it can play back the delay buffer at different speeds. Think of it like a tape loop with two independently-moving read heads. There are lots of parameters to control and a parameter randomizer for the impatient. Tom's first "released" plugin. Fun!... [more]

By mdsp of Smart Electronixffttools are intended to constitute a spectral sound-design toolbox. Most of them are inspired by image processing techniques as you can find in PhotoShop, for example. mdsp used the FFTReal class by Laurent De Soras that can be downloaded at Music-DSP. WARP: This plug-in swaps a frequency band defined between the fmin and fmax parameters while leaving the side bands unchanged. Low frequencies are mapped to high ones and high to low. The resulting sounds are highly inharmonic. You can try to set the min frequency very low (i.e. 100Hz) and the max frequency to its ma... [more]

By mdsp of Smart ElectronixFire is a sort of multi-tap delay with panning and controllable morphing between settings.

Ported to AU by Destroy FX of Smart ElectronixDestroyFX @ Smart Electronix created a Universal Binary AU version of Dreampoint / Jezar's open source Freeverb reverb algorithm. NOTE: This is not a Destroy FX plug-in. Freeverb is an open source reverb by Jezar at Dreampoint. DFX ported it to Audio Unit, more or less to see how easy it would be to port someone else's VST plug-in to AU (it took about an hour). This AU version has no custom graphics, but Jezar's VST version never did, either. Full source code is included in the download.... [more]

By Koen Tanghe @ Smart Electronix.KTDrumTrigger is a VST plugin with a custom editor that triggers MIDI notes based on the sound level of the incoming audio stream in different frequency bands. It allows you to "detect" occurrences of percussive sounds in an audio stream and send out a MIDI event whenever that happens.Incoming (mono) audio is split up into different frequency bands using three tweakable filters. The signal in each of these bands is sent through an envelope follower. When the envelope reaches a specified threshold level, a MIDI note on message is generated. The trigge... [more]

By Koen Tanghe @ SmartelectronixThis effect is a delay line granulator and it works like this:Incoming (mono) sound is fed into a delay line from which small pieces of various durations and at different moments in the past are selected. Each of these pieces is then amplified, transposed and enveloped to form a "grain". Each grain is also randomly panned and the whole mix is sent out to a stereo output stream. Feedback of the grain output back into the delay line is also provided, and the delay line can also be frozen so that the grains are only taken from what is currently stored in the delay ... [more]

by mdsp of Smart ElectronixLiveCut is a "Live BreakBeat Cutting tool" based on Nick Collins algorithms that can be found in the BBCut library for SuperCollider [View PDF]. "The BBCut Library began out of work on an algorithm to simulate the automatic cutting of breakbeats in the style of early jungle or drum and bass [Collins 2001a]." LiveCut syncs to the host tempos and creates phrases by splicing and repeating small chunks of the input in order to create ever evolving syncopated rhythms. It currently implements a mix of CutProc11 (classic gimical DnB) and WarpCut (named ... [more]

The "MIDI gain" example that can be downloaded at Music-DSP is the base for the controller mapper. These plug-ins register themselves as MIDI sources. STOKASTIK: A MIDI plugin intended to generate random spaced notes according to a specified random distribution (now exponential only). You can set the maximum duration between 2 notes until 1 second but avoid values around 0 because it will overload your CPU. For now it is monophonic only and never stops outputting MIDI.

By mdsp of Smart Electronixmstools is a collection of "tools" intended to process stereo streams but focusing on middle and side instead of left and right. The idea is really simple but the effects can be subtle and powerful. msEncode and msDecode: These are just converters mapping M -> L and S -> R so that you can put your own effects between the coder and the decoder. The effects below are just some hard-coded ones. msComp: This one uses the same compression algorithm as mdsp's "classic" compressor, but focuses on the Middle signal without touching at the Side.

by mdsp of Smart ElectronixScanSynth is a synth based on "scanned synthesis" as described by Bill Verplank, Max Mathews and Robert Shaw in this article (20KB PDF). "To make audible frequencies, the "shape" of the dynamic system, along a closed path, is scanned periodically. The pitch is determined by the speed of the scanning function. Pitch control is completely separate from the dynamic system control. Thus timbre and pitch are independent. This system can be looked upon as a dynamic wave table controlled by the performer." The dynamic-string is a mass-spring... [more]
