Seasons Greetings All!

Here is my X-mas offering to everyone here. The Flux Echo is a delay-type effect that is a little hard to describe. Imagine the bastard child of a sordid three-way between an echoplex, a springer tempophone, and a hammond vibrato scanner. Essentially its a tape delay simulation with unique "rotating headstack" modulation options that produce wicked, throbbing amp modulation, drastic pitch shifts (often cascaded), warbles and more warbles, etc. etc. etc. This was going to be part of a much larger project I'm working on, but the sound wasn't quite appropriate for that. I thought that it would make a pretty interesting effect on its own, though. So here you go. You be the judge.

I was going to post a .dll here, but the file was just a hair too big for the forum. So here is an .osm with it and just a simple multi-osc. If you like it, you can export your own VST from the schematic. I also threw together a quick little PDF guide that describes the controls. Enjoy!

ps. I'm sure there are a few bugs still undetected. If you find any, let me know so I can fix them.

cool...awesome work...love it! 😍

I just took a quick look to some of your code and try to understand what's going on. I recognized you don't define all variables (like hold/tap etc). I didn't know that this works.

Excellent work, Cyto, and thankyou. 😀 Perfect for Xmas - I have enough time off work to strap on a guitar and lose a few hours hypotising myself with psuedo-arpeggios and abstract textures (and the obligatory 'monster voices' after a few seasonal drinkies!) Like the GUI too - snazzy animation, and those 'thumbwheel' type knobs are really distinctive, it was a real nice surprise to discover that they weren't text boxes.
