Anybody, who tried to use Melda modeling like Fishman Aura or Zoom A3?

[mccy]

I'm quite blown away by the possibilities of Zoom A3 for use with e-cello tones turned into acoustic sounding using the double bass preset on A3. Thats a sound from an e-instrument with acoustic character which I would have never expected... Simply magic. So I think what would that sound, if I had a cello modeling-image... would it be even better? I'd like to try.

I know, Melda can do anything which the others do, just better... So...
Is there a way of getting Images into the Melda modeling section and use it 'without' latency, because thats the main purpose of Zooms A3 or Fishmans Aura... I bet Melda can do the soundmodeling easily (just have been too lazy to look at it...) but in these kinds of effects it usually introduces Latency, yes, no?

Ah, O.K., I see, I have to use MMultiBandConvolution and find out how to make impulse responses, right!?

[mccy]

Yeah, that seems easy... So I will try to convolve the whole A3 setting, lets hear, what will happen.

Melda, again, HOW INCREDIBLY COOL ARE THESE EFFECTS!!!!!!!

[mccy]

Hm, I must have missed a simple thing... It's easy to capture a vst between 2 instances of MMultiBandConvolver, but I can't manage to capture it the physical input, capturing a hardware device...

in reaper
I put one instance on track 1...
the second on Track 2 ... make the track hot... enable record
fire up the testtone on track 1
stop record
... but it complains, that there was no signal to be recorded... strange.

[mccy]

Ok, it works, have to deal with monitoring (for activation of plugin) but turning down volume to avoid feedback.
All seems to work well...

[mccy]

So how can I crop the flac files. I have to find out where they are stored...
Then I want to go away from that Testsignal thing. I need to record a hit on the bridge of the real cello and then of the e-cello, to really make my own impulse responses...
Hm, there was a Melda plugin doing morphing, right? I have to look....

[mccy]

Ah, no, morphing has latency, so my final (hehe ) question is how to get an Impulseresponse/a convolution flac for MMultiBandMorph without using the Test signal, but own sounds like comparing the hitting of the bridge on a real cello and then hitting the bridge of the e-cello....

FEATURE - REQUEST

I want to define my own testtone in MMultibandConvolution... for doing crazy acoustic experiments.

I did this once with the program deconvolve from Christian w. Budde, where you can generate an impulse response from two loaded files...

So I see, I can use that program & then load the generated wav into MMultibandConvolution...

But it would be really nice to simply select the E-Cello-Sample as 'Testtone', then recording the same sample played on the acoustic cello and automatically building convolution files that way... Anyway it is complicated and lots of testing is necessary, but I'd just love to work inside the fantastic Melda Plugins...

Hm, there also exist "Deconvolve" from Voxengo, which does the job...

[vectorwarrior]

Voxengo make a deconvolver tool for this purpose. Just use that, the demo let's you deconvolve 3 files at a time so is usually enough. It creates test tones configured the way you want.

There may be a way inside melda. If you use the mixer module inside MXXX, you can set it to mix two audio sources with convolution mode. Then use the output as the IR. Does this achieve what you want?
