-- standard description --

DtBlkFx is a Fast-Fourier-Transform (FFT) spectral processing machine that gives you enormous audio control.

It features:

Precision parametric equalizing with sharp-roll off
* Set the frequencies so accurately that you can adjust individual harmonics of a sound
* Frequency resolutions of up to 0.7 Hz

Harmonic based (or comb) filtering
* Set a fundamental frequency and adjust the level of it and its harmonics - you can even remove the pitched component of a voice
* Active harmonic tracking - let DtBlkFx automatically track a sound and adjust the level of it's harmonics

Various types of noise control
* Change the "contrast" between loud and soft frequency components
* Adjust only those frequencies below or above a particular threshold
* Clip frequencies above a particular threshold
* Sound smearing (phase randomizing)

Frequency shifting
* Harmonic shifting by a fixed number of notes
* Non-harmonic shifting by a fixed frequency
* Active harmonic repitch - the content of your sound is monitored and repitched to a destination note (which is quite fun to try on voice)

Vocoding
* Standard (frequency enveloping) - make your trumpet rap, string section sing or synthesizer talk
* Harmonic based - harmonics in one channel are power-matched to those in the other (or some predefined waveforms) for a new vocoding sound

Frequency masking
* A harmonic or threshold mask may be set for any effect (apart from vocoding) - for example only shift frequencies that are below the threshold

Realtime spectrogram (waterfall) display of input and output sounds
* See what frequency components are in your sound and exactly what you've done
* Use your mouse to see the note & frequency under the pointer

You can select up to 4 of the above effects to be run in series! Combining the effects in this way allows you to make completely new and surprising sounds.

Full source code (C++) is included!!

Nice one - just had a short play around with this.
It'll obviously take a while tweaking to get the hang of it - but worth it I reckon.
It's kinda different isn't it? (In a good way).

[Synesthesiac]

Wow, nice indeed, thanks for this !free! plug!

had a short look at the docs too, very nice user guide.

[arke]

Source code! Yay!

[shamann]

I've been playing with the beta quite a bit, excellent thing this.

t'was a great buzzmachine; now tis a great VST!

[Debutante]

Thank you for an ultra funky spec-fx!

thas a craaaaaazy gui

I love it, the only thing I could do without is the latency! Makes it quite hard to use in real time! But since its FFT I kno there isnt really a way around it. good job regardless!

[wakax]

for me - the best and maturest free fx lately.
congrats Darell ! amazing job !

[loopdon]

insane! this is superb. thanks so much!!!

[darrell.barrell]

Thanks everyone!! send me links to stuff you make with it.
Don't forget to spread word of it

very useful...many thanx for u works...cu

certainly didn't explore the extent of potential, but satisfactory fsu applications here

Why just win 2000 or newer?
