Combellish (Beta)- Comb filter-based phase shifter-y-thing
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2019 2:55 am
I had downloaded cbuntz's "Endless phaser stereo", and got to playing around with it; what I ended up with is certainly inefficient, and no doubt there's already easier/cleaner ways to get the results I did, but I like what it can do.
What's going on is basically a comb filter, 2 envelope followers, 3 frequency shifters, and 6 "interpolated delay from analog kit" (sorry, there's no credit in the schematic- is that Spogg's?). also having cannibalized the wet/dry blend module from MV's M7.. there's various minor adjustments to things like min/max values, floats, de-zipper constant, etc. The look of the thing is still at the "it'll do for now" stage, and I'm pretty sure my grasp of implementing a preset manager that works the way it's supposed to is flimsy (other than making sure the host can see parameters for automation).
Even though some folks might not have a way to automate plugin parameters, I still didn't want to try stuffing LFO options etc. as getting all that to work with my newbie kludge of a schematic is far beyond my meager talents. The pleasure for me in Combellish is mostly in light touches- the ability to nudge a knob or two to get juuust the right unique effect. It's of course good for the usual duties (turning a raw sawtooth into something string-machine-y, or erzatz rotary-type effects for organs, getting in touch with your inner Hendrix), but I've also enjoyed putting complete mixes through it barely wet, and twiddling knobs until a little spatial magic shines through.
Those who wish to improve anything, make a glistening GUI for it, etc.- please feel welcome to; I only ask that you not let my little half-grown mutant out in public until Daddy Duckett think's it's old enough to play with the big kids. Apologies if I've forgotten to credit any module's designers, certainly not intended. I made only 8 presets out of 64, not all knobs are labeled, some readout values aren't particularly logical, use at your own risk, do not operate heavy machinery or vehicles while using Combellish, blah blah. Hope somebody finds it at least... interesting?
