That's really nice! This is a great plugin.
Thank's Chaka, towards the end of that test UberMod produces Harley Davidson like roaaarrr sounds, maybe a hidden passion of the developer :)?
No. NO. HELL NO.

I spent 1.5 years in the early 2000's working on physical models of engine sounds. I worked on V8 sounds, boats, moto-cross, and probably some Harley sounds. I got SO SICK of any type of engine sound. So, any engine sounds are purely accidental.

Having said that, if you wanted to emulate the timing of a given engine, dial up the delay mode that corresponds to the number of cylinders, set TAPS Spread to 100%, and mess with the Skew and Random controls until you get a pattern that sounds like the piston timing pattern. You will probably want to be randomly tweaking the DELAY time, as engines don't stay at a fixed frequency.

EDIT: My wife saw my ranting against engine models, promptly followed by my discussion of piston firing timings, and said "You can't help yourself, can you?"

Ha! As I was reading this thread, the google ads at the bottom of the screen were for some motorcyles - to match the content. Be careful what you guys write about!

It uses the 16tap mode with a very high diffusion value to smear the 16taps together, which makes them sound like one diffuse echo.

Really cool preset Bronto. Thanks for sharing.

At my place 1/8 note sync works wrong.
Delay taps doesn't sync with the metronome.
Is it a bug?

AH HA! It's NOT just me.

Actually, here, it's really most tempos and in 1/4 for example it's just SLIGHTLY off.....it's not a bamboo chute under the fingernail, but it's sliver-ish :hihi:

I didn't think I'd want this, but I was bored today and checked it out and WOW.

Is DIFF enabled? If so, the diffusion will add its own delay. I thought about subtracting this total from the sync delay, but once you turn up the Diffusion parameter there is no real "center" for the delay. Plus, having a few tens of milliseconds from the diff delays makes things dubbier.

Turn off the diffusion, and things should lock to tempo. Emphasis on "should." If this isn't the case, let me know what the behavior is, including DAW/platform, and I'll take a closer look. I presume that I'll release an update to ÜberMod in the next few weeks (seriously, how many software releases do you see that stay at 1.0.0?), so this is the sort of thing that can get fixed if there is a bug.

Thanks. Been really trying to warp my head around this ( :oops: ) and that is quite possible though I think I've got diffusion off much of the time. I'm really not quite sure how some of the controls work but under "taps" it seems at though "spread" has a bearing on this too.

First of all, let's make sure that sync is working properly. Try this preset:


Code: Select all

<ValhallaUberMod pluginVersion="1.0.0" presetName="Default" Mix="0.5" Depth="0" StereoWidth="0.5" Delay="0.00999999978" Feedback="0.5" Spread="0" Slope="0.5" Skew="0.5" Random="0" TapGain="0.5" Diffusion="0.5" DiffSize="0.0204081628" DiffModRate="0.0490490496" DiffModDepth="0.5" LowCut="0" HighCut="1" SpatialXover="0.145728648" DetuneRate="0.0360360369" DetuneDepth="1" VibratoRate="0.298245579" VibratoDepth="0" OverMod="0" DriveInGain="0.375" DriveOutGain="0.75" DriveNoiseGain="0.333333343" FeedbackRotate="0.5" SmoothingTime="0.0990990996" ColorMode="0" DelaySync="0.235294119" type="0.0416666679" DiffEnable="0" Drive="0" DrivePrePost="1" Speed="0"/>
Play with the different sync times, adjust the tempo in yr DAW, and make sure that this simple delay is syncing up to your clock.

Next, switch to a mode with more taps, like 8Tap. It shouldn't sound any different, except louder. This is because all the taps are lined up to the same delay, without any modulation, Spread or Skew to move them around.

Now click on the TAPS tab (ok, they're buttons, but they act like tabs) and start playing with the Spread control. Slowly sweep this from 0% to 100%. Once you are at 100%, start messing with the delay sync settings again. Get a nice sync pattern, then play with Spread again.

Assuming that the above sounds OK to your ears, put Spread back to 100%, and start adjusting Skew. Move this slowly over to -100%, then up to 100%.

After this, you will have a better feel for the basic delay spacing controls in ÜberMod. Or discovered a bug with ÜberMod in your DAW. Let me know how it works out.
