Witchcraft…this Plugin is 🔥 // VISCO by FOREVER 89

[@SONWU]

get my NEW SAMPLE PACK here! 👉 ko-fi.com/s/5abd52420c

[@sbjncn]

can i import my own sounds and samples ??

[@SONWU]

Sure, I should have shown it better in the video, but I am just dragging my own samples in there!@@sbjncn

[@laylasmart]

What do you mean Witchcraft. On the "Seed" we can all see the number 666.

[@substance90]

Zynaptic Morph with a sequencer added and modulation sources targeted for drums?

[@ahdziz666]

It can also pre-analyze the sounds so it doesn't have to "guess" parameters the way that a "real-time" algorithm might.

[@pongtrometer]

I love the morphing liquid nature more than elastic nature of sound sound processing…. I hope it has the ability to play each sample melodically, reminds me of the morphing in Soundpaint sampler, gr8 overview SW 👾

[@SONWU]

Thank you! I haven't tried melodic abilities, but the way it's configured, I'd assume its not made for that.

[@pongtrometer]

@@SONWU I finally got it installed and I’m using it as morphing monophonic synth, I hope they bring out a synth with this tech’, I love malleable sound mangling. ( I was using Ableton, I put a scaler, from the midi effects before the VISCO plugin to ensure it plays the sound regardless of the keys 🎹 you play from your midi controller. Then on another midi instrument track I put a M4L expression control with Midi in set to ‘ Key Track ‘ , and the assign the parameter for that row to the ‘ Global Frequency ‘ parameter on the VISCO configure panel. So with both tracks midi input armed, the triggered sound will now play the sound chromatically. So it’s basically a Morphing Monosynth . There is a polyphony of up to 4 notes in each sounds , but only seems to work for arpeggios with overtones , rather than sustained chords .

[@ahdziz666]

I've been bugging the developers for adding a "sound per midi channel" chromatic mode as well as some other things like chokes etc. Even if they just change the playback sample rate per key it would add a ton of options.

[@SAIWFY]

I've had tons of fun with Visco. Would like to invite you all to a mangle challenge and build a collective soundkit! :]

[@SONWU]

Thanks for the invite…I am terribly busy, but I am sure others would be able to join!

[@bjornkreuze7423]

This visco vst sounds awesome. For drum its my favorite, warm and full sounding with so much variety sounds at ease. Love it

[@Khordmaster]

great overview man. I'm enjoying this a LOT so far...

[@SONWU]

Cool, nice to hear that ;)

[@straighttalk2069]

So the drum machine equivalent of Synplant with a similarly high price tag.

[@gabrielreinert8458]

That's what I thought too. And audio morphing on a spectral level isn't new at all. Just think of the Zynaptic (former Prosoniq) Morph plugin.

[@voltagetoe]

would be quite nice if it would process/load samples in stereo - the 'width' of its interface is just a cheap destructive after effect

[@DucksOnQuack0]

wait i just bought this plugin, any way to route it to the midi track your using towards recording off it?

[@snaprockandpop]

Im having trouble adding my own AIF sounds. The result is just distorted playback. However, am I confusing AIF compatibility with AIFF?

[@SeanKearney]

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to check it out.

[@SONWU]

Enjoy! (You got mail)

[@phladjki]

question: is the variation enough to keep fast drumming from sounding like robotic / verbatim repeats?

[@SAIWFY]

I've noticed Machine-gunning, but I highly recommend exporting the oneshots and using a plugin like vital to mess with velocity envelopes and fine pitch randomisation! There's a pretty dope video about it on YT, with the creator sharing the preset for free! :]

[@victornico]

Why does seed under variation in the UI say 666 by default? Haha plugin seems extremely cool though!

[@SONWU]

🤷‍♂️ haha

[@samuelbarahona8547]

Thank you for showing us this! I downloaded the demo version immediately and gonna hear it for a while

[@SONWU]

Sweet, enjoy!

[@BenCaesar]

My main question for this is how is it different from Steinberg drum GAN ?

[@SONWU]

Don‘t know…haven‘t tried it 🤷‍♂️

[@gravityzack]

This has an unlimited free demo

[@SAIWFY]

It's pretty hard not to type a ton but here's why I'm siding with Visco rather than Backbone. It's UI is pure eye-candy and its features really make it fun to mess with. Backbone makes it visually hard to see what exactly is going on. Sound-wise, I find that it's more accurate than Backbone, as it doesn't rely on a pre-chosen dataset of samples. If you've used it long enough, you run into the same exact sounds (I'm throwing hella shade to Audialab, lmfao). Time-stretching works pretty smooth but I've noticed that Frequency shifting to lower octaves sometimes lacks full range. Higher pitch works pretty gnarly tho! Something that's being overlooked and that I find really refreshing, is the option to morph two input samples. Really hated to have to rely on Zynaptic Morph 1 due to it's clunky setup. There's some experimental features such as flipping your samples horizontally and vertically; giving you some neat quick new sounds (try hori flipping a Hi-Hat!). Messing with the blob by smudging or pulling also gives you very experimental stuff; Perfect for sound design. Effect-wise, there are similarities, but I personally enjoy messing with the samples as much as possible rather than relying on post-processing. Although.. the effects are pretty slick tho, definitely deserve some love. I think, if you combine user samples + Synplant 2, and then importing all those funky sounds in Visco, might unlock a unique approach to sound design. It's really neat if you'd like to get started to make your own sounds/samples, as I myself find patching Vital/Serum unrewarding (I admit that's my own lack of skill and patience). If there's any other question I could answer for you, let me know :]

[@BenCaesar]

@@SAIWFY legend ! Thanks for the in depth insight I appreciate it. Gives a run down on both strengths. I’ll take a deeper look at visco then 👏🏾

[@Harzurner]

It's not, it's just a hipster plugin.

[@Garflips]

Any MIDI CC control? Nothing is mentioned in the manual regarding the modulation of parameters with MIDI other than velocity.

[@SONWU]

You can control some, but not all parameters. (the developers are quite responsive though, so this might change)

[@sixteenLEVELS]

Will this run in Pro Tools 2023.12.0 on a M2 Max Mac Studio?

[@SONWU]

I am running it on an M1 Mac mini, so you should be good :)

[@sixteenLEVELS]

@@SONWU I installed the demo and it’s not showing up in Pro Tools 2023.12.0 Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or has a fix. Thanks

[@CNTRRNDM]

How cool is that?! Will have to check it out, I guess!!!

[@SONWU]

Definitely ;)

[@DJisaacAnthony]

Very interesting, I want to put vocal chops and loops into it!

[@SONWU]

Yeah, I'm going to do some experimentation as well :)

[@ahdziz666]

It does very well morphing non drum sounds. It appears to have a limit on how much data can be loaded into each blob.

[@frogetbrotak7902]

How do you put user sounds into it? I can't seem to manage to do it

[@ahdziz666]

@@frogetbrotak7902 "draw file to sound" I think. It's right in the sound menu.

[@djorig]

Secret sauce

[@rafaelcnsd]

I'm getting error importing drum samples

[@SONWU]

Maybe contact Forever 89…I am sure they appreciate it!

[@SAIWFY]

If you're using Fl Studio, I got it to work on FL 21 by using the Bridged option within the wrapper settings! :]

[@Dex01649]

You gotta change the plug-in to bridged mode if on fl studio

[@tendingtropic7778]

wait is this editing the op-z sounds in realtime?

[@AaronGoldbergMusic]

I believe he’s using the opz as a midi controller for sounds in the computer

[@SONWU]

Correct, just using the OP-Z as a controller here.

[@Nothingspeshalwaysfresh]

This jawn is kinda ill. Gonna grab it.

[@SONWU]

👌

[@Forever-89-Studio]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SONWU]

🙏 great work!

[@louie2g]

the plugin doesnt show in my plugin manager on fl studio after downloading the demo :(

[@SAIWFY]

​@louie2g I had the same in both FL21 and Ableton 11, was pretty weird... Wait like 3 days and it might just suddenly pop up, like I had.

[@Harzurner]

This is awful, its one of those twisty moustache starbucks gang vsts, 🤮

[@Scarlettsmeal]

Nice gatekeeper commentary bruh

[@drsquash2003]

In Fl Studio, I can't seem to load my own samples into Visco. They are WAVs, but still wont load
