DEEP SPACES scales-oriented IR library finally released at dangerousbear.com

[Krakatau]

Hello

This thread is intended to see if a reseller could be eventually interested in a collection of impulse responses i'm in the way to achieve

But considering the fact that, more than anything, my real interest would be the possible recognition of my work rather than a commercial aspect that i'm totally incapable to handle by myself, i'm still hesitating not to choose another way,

...but let's see what is the point , here an overall description of the concept :

The entire soundfiles, created artificially and that are intended to be used as impulse responses, behaves as sympathetic strings and were focused on harmonies through all the usual tempered scales and types of scales,
that means in practice, everytime i've found a particular character, the signal process chain was kept and then applied for every half-steps of each of these usual types of tempered scales :

- major
- melodic minor
- harmonic minor
- arabic minor
-"double harmonic" ( scales built with the combination of two harmonic tetrachords )

for, at least a total of 60 similar IR soundfiles everytime, ...or just the twelve half-tones of an entire octave for some of them, when it only targeted a fundamental note

The actual complete IR palette contains a little less than 900 IRs within aproximatively 2.5 Gig

Here, litteraly, a sample of these ones, focused on G Major scale, downsampled at 16bits/44.1Khz ( the originals are at 24/96)

Let me just recommand you to read the short .txt file included first

Feddbacks are, of course, highly appreciated

Ok

too bad that is didn't catch your curiosity a bit more, here some musical examples :

www.anak-krakatoa.net/~downl/IR/E-piano.mp3

This one shows an IR, (G/Maj01.wav)loaded as it is, without other modifications, adapted for dark and mellow sound, and strictly bounded to it dedicated scale...the epiano is a "Mark 1" preset of the Evp88 from Logic

www.anak-krakatoa.net/~downl/IR/Clavinet.mp3

This one (G/Maj03.wav) unlike the preceeding one is much more coloured by the hi-end frequencies and will be particulary reactive with the highest notes of your keyboard, loaded as it is, the Clav is a self-made preset for the Evd6 from Logic

notice that both of these examples, for comparison, uses exactly the same MIDI datas

www.anak-krakatoa.net/~downl/IR/Grand.mp3

An example, that might let you some room to improvise something elsewhere that the original G scale at some degree, the piano part performs on G melodic minor in the case...

www.anak-krakatoa.net/~downl/IR/Choir.mp3

This last one uses an IR basically focused on a minor triad of G through 8 octaves or more (11-NorrisComb1-G.wav) that let much room to play something that doesn't match clearly a scale, though the original one still keep some significant character, BTW the instrument involved is a "church choir" preset of the Exs24 from Logic

I forgot to precise though, and you may notice it, that all these impulses are mainly suitable for ambiant soundscapes and quiet harmonies


All the IR involved here are, of course, included in the link on my first post


again, feedback are welcome, ...

... from ambient music lovers especially, of course !

[dreaddd]

its not that you didnt catch our curiosity...its only i heard my jawbone fall right after the first line...and i guess im not the only one..

ill try to understand with the sound examples tomorrow (sorry, 8 am here and STILL awake )
thx
Peace

[Krakatau]

so, have a good sleep then, we may have a talk about it later ,... i hope

[realisation]

Ok, this is great! I do the same sort of thing but with random samples i find lying around trial and error.

You've done something great here, I'm working on a company that produces audio plugins at the moment (MST), unless you want to go with an already established company no problem

its only i heard my jawbone fall right after the first line

"Hello"?

I dont really get how they work, how about some dry/wet examples?

I dont really get how they work, how about some dry/wet examples?

well, this is something you could perfectly do by yourslf, me thinks

1) - Just load, for instance, the very first one called : "G/Maj01.wav" as it is, on any convolution reverb,
2) - use an e-piano or a bass preset, as sound source
3) - notice how it behaves when your performance stays, or doesn't stay in accordance to the dedicated scale

This one has a particulary selective sensitivity, that is strictly focused on the choosen scale and will stay silent or almost silent at the time your performance doesn't match it anymore...

No offence intended, but .exe files make me a little nervious. Any chance you could post a .zip or .rar file?

[BFunKu]

So what your doing is just loading Random One Hit or Stab Samples into a Convolution Reverb? I do that all the time in SiR for some Crazy and Unexpected Results.

i will see what i can do tomorrow for the case...

Here a few more mp3 with basically the same impulse, taylored for rythmic parts

- with tablas loops :

- and within a rythmic section :

@BFunKu

...no offense, but please read a bit more carefully what has been writen here to make yourself a clearer opinion, i guess

Have you checked out Spirit Canyon Audio?

I think you have an interesting idea, and I like the demos you have posted.

Thanks for your help...yes i did, and even PM to darrel burgan about it earlier in the afternoon, still waiting for his answer on this topic for the moment, though...

I like your examples. I'm not sure how big a market there is for such IRs. Something like this maybe wouldn't be a massive seller, but I'm sure there's a small niche market for it. Maybe contact a sample developer like Dangerous Bear. They don't have any IR libraries that I can see, but they have a history of working with third parties and for putting out quirky/unique material.

thanks for the link, i'm checking this out quickly...
