Hello,

Looking for a Spectral magnitude splitter, vst plugin real-time and independent of volume.

Thank you!

What is a spectral magnitude splitter?

It would be an FFT based plugin, splitting the high/mid/low amplitudes of the signal.

Melda multiband stuff.
I guess “Level” or “Spectrum” crossovers are what you’re after

Bitwig can do that with its native spectral tools. To get it independent of level, you might need an envelope follower to modulate the threshold…
This might be also necessary for level dependent spectral splitters…

Yep, down that and works damn well.

Yes, that is a good idea.
I'll have to dig a bit on the Bitwig stuff.

Couldn't find a VST plugin on the Bitwig gear.

ina/GRM Tools has one "Contrast": https://inagrm.com/en/store/product/1/s ... -transform

"How does it work ?
Contrast takes a completely original approach to compression/expansion-type processing technique.
Contrast analyzes a user-defined frequency range within the spectrum of an input sound and groups the frequency components within that range according to the strength of their amplitudes. The groups are frequency components with strong amplitudes, frequency components with medium amplitudes, and frequency components with weak amplitudes. The strength of each of the groups can then be modified independently.
Why do this ?
Because this approach allows you to redefine the character of a sound in a powerful and original way. If you decrease the strength of the medium and weak amplitudes, thus emphasizing the strong amplitudes, for example, you'll make a sound more mellow. If you strengthen the medium amplitudes relative to the stronger and weaker amplitudes, you'll add vibrancy, liveliness, and depth to a sound. If you strengthen the weak amplitudes relative to the others, you'll make the sound more metallic, harsh, and percussive."
