Gated Harmonic distortion - anybody done this?

Thought this might be an interesting effect -
an exciter of sorts which only begins to add harmonics above (A) certain volume level, and then proportionally to height above volume-point (A).

You could chain a couple of plugs together in a rack to do something similar, but to do it right I think you'd have to possibly have a standalone plugin.
Also the levels might have to be frequency-weighted to match human ear response, otherwise you'll end up with Way way more upper high harmonics than below.
Any thoughts?

Desperately need something like Edison for Mac - an audio recorder and simple editor in plugin form.

Sorry, I've overseen this thread and made a new one...so I post it here again:

Some humble suggestions for the Developers of DC 12

1. A Mutron-III emulation ( used by Bootsy Collins and Stevie Wonder)....the best freeware so far is to my opinion "northpole" from prosoniq, but this is a wild beast, difficult to tame.

2. A good Vocoder with at least 128 bands, the best I have is the CM-Vocoder with 64 bands

3. An additive Synth with a good resynthesis

I'm interested in a better freeware beatslicer. H4xx0r has the limitation of having the same loop on every key of the octave. I'd like the option of assigning a different loop to each key, if I want. Nothing against that plugin, of course, I've used it a lot.

That's the reason why this topic should've been an announcement or sticky in the first place, so people find this topic much easier. I don't have the rights to do this in this forum, so Ben, get on it.

A 64 0r 128 step version of this:

http://www.rozzer.net/2006/02/step-mach ... sequencer/

Love this thing for basslines,but the 16 step limit bites...

it has random, force to scale, cc midi modulation,per note gate and overall gate.
Add:more midi capabilities,midi export and a way to sequence the sequences..i.e. lets say I make pattern 1,2,3. Now I want pat 1 to play one bar, pat 2 the next. Do that for 4 bars then pat 3 plays the fifth bar or on the fifth bar I want a forced to scale random pattern...

That would be awesome. Something like uTonics patterns. Or even better something like Venom 303's sequencer where you can store a bunch of patterns then play then via keyboard.

They have some similar Reaktor Ens, but not many/exactly like I described. Tried to build one in Reaktor once. You have to use "event tables"(IIRC) and trying to read about making one is where my head 'sploded...

I think it would be cool to have a plug-in that sent it's inbound MIDI data back out to other plug-ins - but using keyboard tracking, arp, Envelopes, Step Sequencer, LFOs, X/Y pads, etc. would vary the amount of velocity and/or note data to each plug-in - with 100% of the velocity going out to the total of all of them - essentially allowing the user to vector between his/her favorite plugs.
- This could also be useful if you could send the lfo/keytrack/etc. to the mod wheel, route the mod wheel out to another port (ie, to an effect), or modify the velocity to a set value or a curve.

Or a plug in that hosted another plug in - and recorded multiple snapshots of the plug-in's settings... and then allow you to slide between them (X/Y would be awesome here with 4 settings) - OhmForce has a couple plugs like this - but this would work with any plug.
- It would also be neat if it had the switching parameter coming in on a separate MIDI channel - so one controler would handle triggering the transition, while the other would handle playing. I don't know if that's possible with VST's implementation though.

OR... a multiband compressor with side-chaining PER BAND.

I'd like a simple no-frills chromatic multisampler (ADSR, Volume, Pan, maybe an LFO and Filter, but that's basically it). It would use SFZ format and would have the ability to map the sounds and set loop points and crossfades within the app itself. Nothing else. Simple. Elegant. Easy.

I plan on keeping it simple, I feel plug ins are covered pretty good.
So why reinvent the wheel, it would take a quantum computer to create
what we really want. So great guis with a different ear in the processing is all that
can really happen. We shareware, freeware guys are just trying to
match the major guys in quality and performance. We just want to create a world where
People have obtainable choices. Before Microsoft we had no choices
Now we have the little fellas helping the other little fellas, so as long it's. Quality
Prevails with fresh GUI ideas, that's all we can ask for.

I would love to see the same in the world of quality television, cable etc.

Do a search and check out available free simple multi-samplers. There aren't many around--even at cost. You've got Shortcircuit, TX16WX, and the DS-404, and that's about it. For cost, Imageline has the $99 Directwave sampler, but it has a lot of bugs and isn't currently being developed. Only the TX16WX is being currently developed. We could use a very basic easy to use multisampler.

Win vst substitute for Michael Norris' Spectral Dronemaker would be awesome

YES! (It might make a nice hearing filter, too, for when out in public)
