hi stefancrs,

cool development. Are you distributing the latest schematic somewhere? I can't seem to find it. I wouldn't mind taking a look at the softclip code. No fuss if it's something you'd rather keep behind the curtain.

The soft clipper is in the compressor module (which is based upon this one) in the toolbox in SynthMaker

thanks man cool developement if there are more plugins of yours just notify

There's that four band parametric EQ, and a rehauled GUI for the compressor. Could export these as VST if you haven't got SynthMaker and want to try them out.

I am interested in vst version of both

Ok, no worries, me and malc will make exported versions later today unless something unpredictable and awful happens

Here we go:

Compressor

Equalizer

Let us know if there are any bugs / weird behaviour!

Regarding the slow/fast selection on the EQ, if you do lots of fast automation, the "fast" mode might use less CPU, but both modes sounds the same.

i tried your comp001a ages ago,and it looked and sounded very good,worked great in eXT.
these look sweet! thanks for sharing,i'll give them a spin.

about the eq:
as a vst eq I would say it needs a general gain, less max gain per band (having a general gain could be enough as you could set it lower), a larger window, a low and high shelves. also having the band near to the right edge is annoying if you want to edit the Q. maybe a ctrl+click on the band to edit the Q.
as a synthmaker creation, I would say, I m impressed to see what synthmaker can do, it sounds good, looks good.
sadly synthmaker will be too expensive for me, at least at the moment, but hey, who know, if I fing enough money.
maybe I ll send you some question about making midi vsts.

just tested the comp, hhhmm, I didn't find my children, I only had loud saturated sounds. looking further...

Would you care to elaborate on that cryptic post?

Kingston · Post by **Kingston** » Tue Apr 25, 2006 1:06 pm

stefancrs,

the compressor knob sensitivity is set ridiculously high. How about using a sensitivity of, say 0.05? A compressor needs to have that precise control.

As for the compression performance/sound, the word that comes to mind is 'flaky'. Almost like it's missing a processing stage of some kind, or the envelope follower is far too simplified? Might have to look at the schematic myself.

stefancrs · Post by **stefancrs** » Tue Apr 25, 2006 1:21 pm

By all means, have a look! (It is the standard toolbox one afterall)
I don't quite understand what you find wrong about it, so if you feel up to it, elaborate on that one as well

For me, something flaky is something that unexpectadly stops working every now and then etc

How about the controlsin this version?
