I still haven't found a tool that makes this easy. I'm gonna see if I can make a M4L device for this.
Well... what do you dislike in the two plugins I’ve mentionned ? They fit exactly the bill as far as I know. I use them nearly daily...

Its possible, but far, far from easy. You need to go into fft and gen or java areas…

https://www.jjburred.com/software/factorsynth/ would be worth a look. Depends on how the factorisation is done but it might resolve one of two components as noise

For future reference:

The FluCoMa project has a large set of Max externals that can do this, specifically the HPSS package

Thanks for the links, didn’t came across that project yet…

Hey!

Bump up for this tonal/noise separator.

Any news on this?

Soothe2 in delta mode? Or the delta from any resonance suppressor.

Hi,

The BlueLab Air plugin can do this: https://bluelab-plugins.com/index.php/product/air (https://bluelab-plugins.com/index.php/product/air)

Also the new BlueLab STN plugin can separate tonal/harmonic contents from transients and noise.

In your case the noise signal you need is transients + noise from the STN plugin.

Yes!! BlueLab Air and STN are very nice sounding!

In love with Blue Lab STN!
Bought it today.

I think that Equalizer Pro is a more "manual" filter selection, and I'm lost on the 658 types of filters.
I'd rather prefer a simple, dedicated STN solution.

i haven’t had the chance to use it a ton but steinberg backbone? pb was giving it away a couple months back. the few times i have needed it for something i’ve come away pretty impressed with it. it splits the signal to noise and tonal and you have control over a few parameters to get a better split if need be. it also allows for some pretty useful and detailed shaping of the components as well. and if you’re trying to create effect chains off the split, it’s got you covered there too. it honestly sounds exactly like what you’re after but i’m not sure what it costs when it’s not free.

i can’t remember if sound thread has any modules that do exactly this but it seems along the lines of something it’s capable of. not at my computer to check at the moment though. backbone is probably the way to go though
