Concatenator: Getting Started Tutorial Video

[@dreamaera]

Just took an ear break from some amazing first time Concatenator experimentation, next thing I see is this video being released a few minutes ago, winning. Thanks for the tutorial and explanation, super helpful! 😊

[@sleepingstate1978]

This looks fascinating

[@ahdziz666]

This thing can be used as the worlds craziest "resonator"by loading piles and piles of chromatic waveforms. There's a while lot of potential here.

[@jrettetsohyt1]

Also, great graphic design!

[@kriista]

This sounds really impressive! Great to see how far you're pushing this.

[@bencantil462]

Couldn't have come this far without you!!

[@sirvazo1633]

Just bought it & am looking forward to experimenting (and to the updates over the next few months) 👍

[@BigMTBrain]

Niiiice!!! Puremagnetik's Ember on mega steroids!

[@No.0.o.0]

very cool, almost KYMA level bonkers. Hoping someday DataMind Audio will make some more squishy morphing stuff.

[@bencantil462]

KYMA is the GOAT

[@alejandromagana1554]

KYMA, very expensive but the sound is wooooowwww

[@visual_chris]

honstly unbelievable that at the end of 2024 there's still new vst types coming out

[@dadabots_]

love love love

[@_andreypetr_]

I've played with it for a while and it certainly needs optimisation, but the concept is very interesting. Maybe it needs filtering of the imported samples and something to make the transients as sharp as the audio input, because no matter what kind of material I work on, the transients always sound smeared.

[@Beatsbasteln]

you could use an envelope follower on a lowpass filter to shape the results to reveal the transients more, especially if the env fol comes from before this effect

[@_andreypetr_]

@Beatsbasteln you know your business 🙏

[@ctralie]

Thank you for trying this out and for the feedback! I plan to do some research on the transients over the next few months to hopefully improve that out of the box

[@_andreypetr_]

@ I hope there will be a way to set the parameters of randomness to always get the same results with the identical input. Maybe some kind of seeded random

[@ctralie]

@@_andreypetr_ Ah yes, we were mindful of this during the design, and we have plans to implement something like this. We were thinking of aligning the input buffer with the timeline and using the timeline as a seed

[@AntiPattern123]

Coalescence as VST? Nice

[@bencantil462]

We love Coalescence!! A couple of technical differences here though: Ours does not use neural networks, but instead a particle filter, aka "good ol fashioned" AI. And the amount of samples you can add to this is only limited by the user's RAM and CPU... you can theoretically load your entire hard drive into this if your computer can handle it!

[@paulgrewal]

Is there a way to identify and export the samples/timings that are being played to further manipulate outside the app? I’m finding interesting grooves but the playback mode has artifacting etc

[@ctralie]

Thanks for trying this out! We don't have this feature at the moment, but that's an interesting idea that we could consider for future releases. Regardless, I'm curious to hear more about what "artifacting" you're hearing.

[@jrettetsohyt1]

Cool! How is this different from your Combobulator vst?

[@ctralie]

The Combobulator works really well on individual artist models, but each of these has to be trained in isolation. In The Concatenator, there's no training involved; you just drag in a corpus and you can get going right away. @bencantil462 can probably say more about the differences in the use cases than I can

[@ahdziz666]

What's up with the beta process? I got no info when ordering. What's the best way to contact you folks? I really like this sort of things but I have problems questions and suggestions.

[@wilmaseal4871]

Does this work with polyphonic audio or can it only use pitch information where only one note is played at a time?

[@synapticrush]

Hi, there is no trial ?
