Thank you! A perfect plugin for my master bus chain!

[@kalidesu]

lol

[@eren3390]

😭

[@LeanBearMusic]

LMAO!!!

[@bodanerius]

Awesome :) If you want to avoid the rectifying? Just add an integer to the sample value safely away from any negative values, then do the processing and then subtract that same integer. Now youre back in -1,1 sample values again. It wont be as gnarly as it is now. But you could always add that as an option to either rectify the signal or not. Keep up the good work Chris :) Edit: Come to think of it. There could be a slider that controlled the added number so it went from clean to gnarly. And also with a sidechain signal. The two left channels could be multiplied and then square rooted. Same with the right channels

[@v394music]

Love these weird plugins, would be great to see you do more!

[@_TheViewer_]

The smirk when ending the sound demo 😂👌

[@ORUMusic]

Cool stuff, gave me some neat ideas to try playing with in my own work. Turns out that using signed square root as a transfer function on its own leads to some pretty neat aggression.

[@MantasticHams]

Awesome! This should be great for a technique i've been futzing with. If you take a midi synth track with some chords, duplicate it, remove either everything but the melody line up top, or the bassline at the bottom, or some variation of thenotes that creates a mono-phonic track, then you modulate the original chord track by the monophonic track, possibly transposing it an octave or 2 up or down, you can get some really wild effects. By continually variating either track with things like vibrato or tremolo, or automating octave pitch sweeps, or even arpeggiation, you can get a lot of complex inter-modulation without too much work. I usually use a more complex setup that requires a modular synth (I use Cardinal, FREE!, FOSS!) but this will be a great way of skipping the complex routing so i can use that time on automations and such

[@brucewayne251]

This is amazing! I’ve been using EB-Morph(free) to do a similar effect! It works great to make a Talking gnarly bass for Edm!

[@davidhuggins16]

0:11 Great sound, like a wildly overdriven ring mod. I find the effect you’ve created here reminiscent of the voice for the imperial probe droid in Star Wars.

[@dropLove_]

Maybe image blend-mode-algorithm equivalents are possible: brighten, screen, darken, "hard sound", "soft sound", linear burn, "sound dodge"? Love.

[@PsychedelicGoo]

Love this experimental type stuff

[@eren3390]

chris, you‘re amazing.

[@T.H.W.O.T.H]

This looks like a very creative tool. Only you'd come up with something like this! 🤓

[@GeorgeLocke]

Multiplication in the frequency domain is convolution in the time domain. This is not convolution but ring mod/4 quadrant AM. You can get the same effect from a DAW if it can ring mod two channels just by reversing L and R of one sound and using that as the "side chain" of your ring mod.

[@GeorgeLocke]

You can do "real time convolution" in something like Max/MSP if you take the FFT of two signals and multiply the bin magnitudes together. The effect is not unlike a vocoder since you're imprinting the timbre of one sound on another, except in my hands it always sounded like low bitrate mp3/FFT artifacts. I could never figure out what to do with the argument output of cartopol~. (The FFT gives a complex number for each bin, and cartopol~ changes it from a x=(real, imaginary) representation to a x=(modulus, argument) representation. Multiplying the moduli gets you convolution, but what do you do with the argument? Add them together? You've got to send something back to the iFFT.)

[@airwindows]

Sounds tricky! I'm going to see what I can make out of this. Near as I can tell it's already been made different by the idea that the output should be signal = sqrt(signal*signal) which doesn't seem to be a natural assumption of any ring mod makers?

[@якобы-п7х]

@@GeorgeLocke if you want to achieve FFT vocoding (or as it is frequently called "spectral morphing", at least the simplest form of it; or "cross-synthesis" as it is officially called in DSP textbooks), you should take the argument of a carrier and the modulus of a modulator and send them to poltocar~ and to ifft and to output. See "MSP Analysis Tutorial 4: Signal Processing with pfft~", section "Convolution and Cross Synthesis". Also FFT defines bandpass band width, so different FFT sizes sounds differently. From my experiments, best results can be obtained using FFT size 512 with overlap 4 and Hann window. 256 also sounds good on very tonal material.

[@Projacked1]

Wooh, this sounds like the Maplin Voice Vandal

[@FotisandStuff]

This is the closest thing you've made to that "square-izing tonal filter" plugin I suggested a long time ago. I still believe an Airwindowsized version of that algorithm would be neat. If you're still interested, I could shoot you an e-mail about it.

[@IS-]

This would be a fantastic effects plugin with buttons. I am seeing a use for it where you have two channels you want to pan into each other to create a merging/separating effect. Perhaps two instruments but at different notes or octaves, 5ths etc., and have a DJ-like effect tracking between them. Would it work like that? Increase or decrease the L and R channels into the final mix? If so, I would love to see that see the light of day. Like a noise morph in and out of each track. Thank you for all your work, Chris

[@dobbersanchez1185]

That malvo smile when the effect is audible 🥲

[@KarstenHeymann]

The grin is heatwarming 😀

[@hellowhirled]

oh hey it's like a passive ring mod. this is awesome

[@ernestofalso6003]

You are hilarious.

[@GrensOost]

hahahah :D Swedish Chef ftw! Love !

[@tekm]

👍

[@PocketSunlight]

Fun effect!

[@LeanBearMusic]

YES!

[@_floeter]

Hoping this leads to an Airwindows vocoder...

[@donotoliver]

if you enable 'sidechain' and route a second signal into it, MRingModulator can do the same thing but without distortion. What's the difference in processing btwn this and MRingmodulator?

[@airwindows]

Could it be that MRingmodulator is not running the square root function? If you just naively do the multiply that's what this is. Part of mine is the (very simple and unspecial) code I wrote for putting back amplitude to what it 'should' be, the square root of the result.

[@elbonnieto8929]

skronktacious...

[@artupidni]

Sorry to ask, Did you use a plugin for your vocals in this recording? I compared it with your older video (about the Avermatrix plugin) and your current vocals sound clearer..

[@airwindows]

Mostly it's just a good mic, though I'm continuing to experiment. I use two plugins on the video vocal track. Discontinuity set to '70 db', as quiet as it can go, and FinalClip which applies ClipOnly2, except it's at the true clipping point in Final Cut.

[@Xethis]

It remainds me to de old Mda Ring Modulator.

[@nickmessitte1721]

YESSSSSS

[@nickmessitte1721]

A monster movie just came in and this will be great for the specific thing I want to do

[@whitex4652]

Cool. I have some use cases for that! 😅

[@darlinachasecolthorp9372]

@airwindows have u done a bitcrusher type effect

[@GrensOost]

yes download consolidated and look under lofi
