New Add-ons

[senso]

Three new add-ons

1) the masterpiece Groove Box made by Bsork

2) Modulated Frequency shifter FX. A small emulation of the great Hematohm plugin from Ohmforce.

3) X-Proto: The input sound is separated in 8 frequency bands.
Each band is triggered by a step sequencer.

Hello Bsork,
In the X-pro add-on I have created a simple subpatch that generate a set of random steps according to a density parameter.
I think I can be a good idea to use it in your GrooveBox, to have a density parameter associated with your randomize buttons?

what do you think?

[bsork]

Not a bad idea at all! I'll look into - maybe during the weekend sometime.

I might do a set of (sub)patches that could be incorporated into the Groove Box idea, with various triggers of filters and stuff if there's any interest in that. Sort of a Lego Rhythm Box?

BTW - I really liked the FreqShifter! If only I could understand how to use the FFT modules myself. I tried to find some info on the net earlier today that would explain in lay-man's terms what "real part", "imaginary part" and "inverse FFT" mean, but no... So if you or anyone else know where to look, I would like to know! (Sorry if this is a bit OT.)

Another request, since your GrooveBox seems to be a reference for many "Usine students":
For me the names of the Buses (AUX1 L, AUX2 L) can create a confusion with the internal default Aux buses.
Don't you think that they could be renamed in FX1 send L, FX2 send R, etc?

I don't think you have to add add so much built-in effect, let users add their own effect, and keep the actual structure simple and very clear.

Ok, I'll rename the buses and add a trick or two to show what can be done with just a couple of extra modules, hopefully without making it confusing for noobs.

Oh yes - some comments as well.

Hm - hadn't imagined this thing to be used for anything else than the video.
