Psylab Pro vst 1.3 - testing vectorizer engine

Nice! I've got a feature suggestion for you: make a huge fader or knob and lets us map it to any destination. Also give it a record button. When we tweak the fader or knob (with our mouse), the plugin will record the movement we do, analyze it and then create an envelope with the same shape as our movement. I've never seen something like this in a plugin and would be unique.

yeah actually the 2 big XY pads in sequencer tab kinda do the first part already,( they can map and record any of the xxx automatable parameters, as soon as mouse is on them and stop on release), but yeah i agree that converting to bezier then would be nice bump, and would need something to auto remap all the stuff in background yeah.. Brainmodular usine had such system for a while, ( not pure converting to bezier, but along those lines.). i will think about it yep, should be possible now i think, at least "convert " a seq record lane to bezier cv could be a thing

@@23fx23 Nice! I was thinking about it when making dubstep-style basses: i would do some modulation with my mouse which would sound cool, then try to emulate it with an envelope but was never very happy with it. It lacked that "performance" feel. So then i thought, wouldn't it be great to be able to capture that movement and transfer it to an envelope!

@@retromograph3893 yeah same here i included recorder in psyphaz too for that reason, even if we got daw automation, i , really want that "instant" live tweak feel, just mouse down and bam it recs.. but yeah then the "raw" datas points is a pain to edit,.. converting to bezier would give best of both worlds indeed i like that idea. will def be on the todolist^^

@@23fx23 Cool, i guess simplifying the curve while still keeping the character of the recorded movement will be the challenge, but if anyone can do it, you're the man! Some DAWs have a "simplify curve" option for automation which works pretty good, so it must be do-able. Anyway, thanks, great that you're so receptive to suggestions!

Impressive, as a graphic designer who spent a lot of time manually cloning curves and masks… this feature is incredible, it’s what sold me with PsyLab. I used to do it manually until I discovered the other methods… Is the maximum resolution still 1083 values/points?, I have easily surpassed that many times and not that long ago I decided to use two parts one for first half of the note and then the second part for the end of the wave… so I could overcome the 1083 limit. Keep it up!!

oh nice,( im also working a lot in afx/houdini), guess thats why we love 'true' beziers hehe :p that one i was challenging.. but yeah quite happy with results :) like when importing a kick can nicely clean env fast now, or 'raster' some other non bezier modes ect, stuff like that

[@23fx23]

didnt see second part, yeah atm its still 1024 pts max. Sadly the way i build the cvp presets a long time ago, make that would break presets / backward compatibility if i would change now. I need to reflect on find a way to build some kinds of 2.0 cvp wrapper or something

@@23fx23 if there is anyone who can do that is you for sure!! To be honest 90% of the time simpler shapes are all you need, is only complex rare stuff…
