Great demo track Taron

The choir/vocals sounds amazing

THANKS, sbj! Those vocals are about to get even better...as in A LOT better. I'm so amazed!

But, Jo, I've got a little bit of a weird thing going on after replacing a sound with its own newer version. No meta parameters or modules have changed in the MUX, except that I've edited internal values for one module (the beautiful new note to modulation conversion!).
Somehow parameters recorded via the front panel won't record or playback recordings anymore!? Their names in the pattern modulation are replaced by "?".
After then altering the front panel and trying to make new recordings with now meta parameters ended up showing different names in the pattern like "gain" for the first meta parameter of the mux, which I had called "wobble". But it also wouldn't play back those parameter recordings, while they were freshly made.
Not sure if that had always been the case, but I just wanted to give you a heads-up that there's something fishy?!

I should add that this fishiness is not even all to easy to recreate?! Hmmmm.... guess it could just be some weird freak accident of sorts...

...so: nevermind for now until I encounter this again!

Great sound, Taron, really great sound. So clear and real.

Thanks, JR!
I've just updated Matty and the Choir and updated the consolidated song file:
demo 01

I'm so amazed right now, really. If you use a few versions of Matty, pan them and offset the wave index a little, you can get a most amazing choir, really. I might have a look at elegant ways to delay midi events properly for some kind of automation of that. If that would work, this could become even more stunning, really. But I'm thrilled either way!

...so fun!

Here's another new one, but soon I will start posting properly...

Harmute v1.0
(created in MuLab 6.4.24)

It's kind of a flute, kind of a harmonium, kind of an organ, actually...it's somewhere in that realm. It can sound like a pretty convincing flute, though.

Hit it hard and you'll get a little jodel, too!

Here's a little demo song with 3 new patches... whereby I had a concerning scratching when modulating lfo amplitude, especially while feeding into any volume.

Also, I had a much prettier vst reverb on it, but this one kind of gets part of the spirit of it.

Anyway, here's that lazy sunday "smoothy"...

Nice track! Lovely flute sound! Contructive feedback: I would try to get the drums sounds a bit better, especially the snare. But maybe that's only me? Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations Taron

I'm all for some good advice, Jo! I'd love to hear what you had in mind, of course!

THANKS most definitely!
I wonder, if it's something that my front panel parameters could handle, or if you are thinking about even deeper changes in its character?
Good thing is, the drumset is nowhere near filled up, meaning there's plenty of room for at least a second snare (third, actually), if it was about a totally different sound.

How about this version?
I've changed the reverb of the drums to match the main send reverb (too bad I can't, yet, send from within a mux to an "external" rack). I've tuned the snare, tighten kick and snare a bit. I think, it does give it more quality already, too.
Of course, I don't know, if that goes towards what you were thinking of, but it's good to get a nice push for sure! Thanks for that already!

Don't stop pushing, though!!!

Yes me personally like the v2 drums more. Cheers!

Cool! Makes me happy! But I'm also still curious what your ideal might sound like!

Taron · Post by **Taron** » Tue May 05, 2015 10:16 am

Here's a curious MUX. I've made a little "room" effect, actually to place a sound, rather than to give reverb. It's almost like an early reflection model, but it is so tight that it literally can just offset the sound source in space, including a sense of in front or behind you. It can also work as special effect, of course, doing all sorts of wacky stuff, but with a bit of careful adjusting you can get quite amazing stereo fields!

I call it: Tight Room (mux effect)

Parameters:

input mono: allows you to dial the original sounds stereo down to mono
room pan: this applies offsets to the delay times of left and right, not to their volumes
delay | feedback | dampen: it's really where the magic happens! Be gentle with those!
filter | Q: this is a bandwidth filter, felt like the most useful one in that context
dry/wet: ok, maybe this is where the magic happens?
modulation: modulates delay times
