Okay, well, one with an actual GUI... and its own built in carriers... and modulating bandwidths... and vocal formant shifting... and... and...sonicfire wrote:MDA talkbox!JackDark wrote:I want to see a -quality- freeware VST based vocoder.

Whatever it is, I'm only looking at free stuff right now.
MultiFX like LFX-1310 because I'm lazy and love how fast to change sounds.
A free vocoder would be nice too.

Other than the stuff I already know is coming (some heavy duty distortion units and filters, spectral/granular thing, Mutron clone), I really want a ring modulator and frequency shifter designed to sound like hardware ring modulators and frequency shifters do. I'm not much of a hardware v. software guy, in most cases I don't care, but I've never heard a software ring modulator sound like a hardware one (presumably due to imperfections in the hardware models, but I don't care, I want them modelled for ease of use).

I guess Spectral FX are wanted more because they are rarer-due to being much harder to write plugs for? That suprises me a bit though. Wow. This is fun.

Hey Jack. I don't have any of your plugs currently but may pick up Battery Acid soon. I think an effect that you could take a bit further in the distortion relm would be to make it modular. See of this makes any sense....
Take some basic elements: bit reducers, sample reducers, subtle and extreme waveshapers/distortions, filters, compressors etc. Then add a layout with a patching matrix where you could patch anything-to-anything in any order, even with the ability to make feedback loops (the compressors would probably be used to interesting effect here). Also add in plenty of modulation options: sequencers, envelopes, lfo's, envelope followers <---- gotta have this one. Oh and make it stereo too please
I'd probably throw down $20-30 for this. With a modular synth one could patch this fairly easy, but it would be nice to have all of this contained within a single, simple, easy to use vst.

Agreed on the ringmod, at least.shamann wrote:I really want a ring modulator and frequency shifter designed to sound like hardware ring modulators and frequency shifters do.

As far as pitch shifters go, have you tried Discord? (I haven't, just was wondering what people thought of it, heh.)

I'd love a samplerate reducer who's pitch can be synced to MIDI notes. Ditto for a RingMod.
...And I want a bit reducer that cook for me

Frequency shifters, which are single side-band ring modulators, rather than pitch shifters (so it pushes all frequencies equally without retaining harmonic relationships). I have Discord and it is fantastic for its kind of thing. Actually, come to think of it, my pitchshifting effects folder is rather large right now compared to a year ago. There seems to have been several really good ones out this year (although Discord I think came out last year, I just got it this year).foosnark wrote:As far as pitch shifters go, have you tried Discord?

VAZ Modular has a really good frequency shifter, as it lets you select the output (either sideband, or both for straightforward ring mod). The freq shift in NDC's Modulator 2 is also very usable, but there is something different in the sound of say something like the Modcan hardware freq shifter (but at $800, I'd kind of hope it had a little bit of something to its sound).

HI
I mentioned in a similar thread a while back that a modular multi-fx is something that we don't see too much of.
I tend to think about some of the hardware units that I had in the past by Korg and Roland (VF1): in particular the VF1 had a massive selection of fx modules that could be placed in a variety of configurations.
I know that the free Luxonix (?) fx plug hits this territory to some degree and a fine fx unit it is as well ... but TBH and IMO it is simply a good bit of freeware and I would expect any half decent attempt at something similar by a creative dev to go way beyond it.
Look at some of the Audio Damage plugs - imagine them in an all in one package that allowed the free configuration of fx blocks in series/parallel and in any particular order
.
I would also expect to find a whole shed load of different treatments in such a plug.
Flipper.

I've run out of wishes, now I enjoy the surprises of things I never would of thought of...
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.
