New Tool (2.7+): Synchronize Modulation Dsps

[Conner_Bw]

I got this error while messing around with old songs that weren’t mine, downloaded from the site. Not sure how this happened as I wasn’t using the tool and I doubt these songs were?

Not sure yet what may have caused this. Can you test the current version instead of the old one you have? Maybe an idea what you did to make this occur?

@Beatslaughter

Wait, what? /Me looks at the Tools page

Argh, there’s a new version that the Tool Updater is unaware of. Dang it.

We need to put “is upgradable?” in the sanity check when approving new Tools.

UPDATE: Wait, I see what happened. You renamed the Tool. I have to delete the old one. Strange, but OK.

@Conner_Bw

We need to put “is upgradable?” in the sanity check when approving new Tools.

The version you had was never approved, posted it on the board only. The old name was kinda silly and the renamed one went to the tools page.

Updated to version 1.2, download from the tools page.

I was looking for a way to make a MIDI mapped LFO synced, switch between even numbers when I turn the knob. Now when I turn the knob it goes 127.0 LPC, 63.50 LPC, 42.33 LPC, 31.75 LPC… and so on.

This was the closest thing I could find.

How hard would it be to make a “live” version of this tool? Where the frequency of the LFO (or Chorus etc) is divided into 128 steps corresponding to the 0-127 cc value, which are synced to the BPM in a useful way. This would make a very useful live tool, certainly for dub step enthusiasts whom want to tweak wobble bass with MIDI controller.

Repeater Dsp

Hi all, I’m very excited about 2.8 (which should be 3.0 given the sheer amount of new stuff!). I like the Repeater dsp but I’m pretty frustrated it is limited to audio only. It would be amazing to have that same repeater interface as a meta device, mappable to any dsp / vsti automated parameter. It could for example be awesome for LFOs, making it a lethal Dubstep producing tool. What do you think of this and has this been suggested before? L8r! Celsius

[dby]

Thanks! I thought I had something useful on the subject recently, but I couldn’t find it. Nice workaround. It didn’t occur to me that I could use an LFO as a signal remapper this way, great!

[Beatslaughter]

Version 1.3 was uploaded. it requires Renoise 3.0.1 because a bug in the API was fixed for the tool to work properly. The menu can now be found for effects inside the sampler fx chains too.

Great!! Can you also use this tool to “reset” a Flanger to its initial (or arbitrary) phase at a start of a pattern? That’s one reason why I hardly ever use the Flanger or Phaser effects, because I can’t be sure whether it starts “high” or “low”, when I play my song or part of it. And most of the time I want my stuff to be programmed deterministically

[Beatslaughter]

Well, the tool itself can only help you setting proper synced values, the actual phase is impossible to change by a tool. But after some testing it seems that automating on/off state does the trick of resetting the phase, so all you have to do is positioning (on/off earlier/later) your automation properly, maybe with help of a send track and automating wet/dry state if needed.

Here is a small example file with synced DSPs to 32 lines… the first pattern has the phase offset by 16 lines for f1/f2 and p1/p2, the second pattern is alternating the phase each 16 lines on f1/f2 and p1/p2. Follow the track scopes to see what’s going on. Also play this at low volume, since i have used a sine sound and it’s not really pleasant to listen to, but visualizes nicely.

[triple_zero]

Thanks for the tip, I got your example and will give it a try soon!
