A plugin never found or never created ?

[bill fusion]

How about cheesy vocal effects sort like the voice changer unit they sell at holloween. Pitch shift, robotizing and other effects that aren't hiogh quality but could be reel fun

[AndreasKrebs]

Hmm, a free pitch to voltage, sorry: to midi-controller? Something like the MS20 plugin can do, but for any vst instrument. I'm not sure how the controller data could be fed into another vsti... but it would be cool to be able to do these MS20-things with, say Moog modular
Cheers,
Andreas

i believe you're asking for a plug which will automatically recognise 'first strikes,' delay and gate them.. if you set up the delay yourself,

.........and that's the trick.

delay lines are typically done with a buffer which records the input - this buffer is then relayed to the output some time later (the delay) at a lower volume.

the point being - this buffer has no concept of the difference between silence, BOOOM, OOOM,,, OOO etc. It's just time and a repetition of audio.

As xoxos so eloquently puts it - you need something to detect the first strike of a percussive audio input and then do something with it.


of course, this begs the question, what does it do if you add a second percussive strike while it's dealing with the first? does it dynamically create new buffers for each percussive input it detects ? what happens if you feed it a constant stream, such that it cannot discern the "start" of a note ????


nope - imho this is an effect that requires a brain which understands the desired outcome and therefore has to be done longhand, using wav files and your sequencer or sampler.

It definitely could *not* be easily set up in Synthedit

Instead of feedback make a serial array of say eight delays. The feedback parameter is replaced by a <# of echos> parameter. Now with each independent delay you could do all sorts of things, in this case give a <buffer size>. This <size> does not effect the delay time but the length of the audio snapshot. One could in a <master> section use a math function to expand or contract these buffers so tweaking would not be a burdon...you want more...?

A dilithium anisotropic super-scalar phase-inversion pulsemode bird noise simulator VST

or Flux capacitance vector-alignment algorhythmic need a magic plugin to make a nice tune VST

Also also hehe..

How about the ultimate plugin:

and, of course, it would only work in the way sweet_trip described if you timed each and every note to co-incide with the start of the buffer loop for each individual delay.

Easy

a silly question:
if i add to a waveform its inverted form i obtain nothing due to phase cancellation...but what appens if the added-inverted waveform is slightly delaied in time?

[shanecgriffo]

-a subtractive synth, cant find one anywhere.!

[fliffo]

...but it's not the point: i mean what happens to the waveform when you are really close to phase cancellation...I was thinking of an effect rather than a synth.

[scuzzphut]

interesting idea , fliffo. I think the only way to find out what that would sound like is to build a plugin and try it

[Bunnyboy]

I would still like my idea of a Spectrograph that has many instances but a combined common GUI so that you can see the way the frequency bands interact with each other.

I did post about this ages ago, but it seems to have been a victim of the post cull

heehehhe guess this is up to you

Well any 'effect' must be interacted with. It is in a sence a freewheeling system as opposed to cuts and edits in the DAW.

I did something similar to this in the Eventide Orville. Instead of a <buffer> size I tagged on to each delay a secondary delay to act as the buffer, those <delay> params worked as the <buffer size > generally would have.. In open software you may find a more elegant structure.

A ring modulator that sounds like a real ring modulator, a la this or this

[marce]

a software "feedback eliminator" ala hardware boxs?
