started messing around with the buffer stuff... this is kinda the rough idea for pseudograins. Just two accumulators one feeds the next.. the last providing the read position. It accomodates for negative values.. missing lotsa goodies and what not.. but I s'pose it's the starting point for the port .

load a wav (only tested with 16bit mono...)

desired bpm = adjust the playback speed... pseudograinular pitch = loops the second accumulator between accumulator #1 output and the subloop size. Repitches but keeps tempo tho sounds fugked up. hahah.

definately getting the feel for SM... wonderful program ya'llz!

yeah! 😍

another time again..welcome on board sample-mangler brotha 😀

yessir sample mangle 'rama indeed... can't wait to get a lot deeper! hehe.

This rocks 🙂

Shouldn't be all too hard to add windowed overlapping, should it?

malc ·

Very nice ModuLR!

I notice that this exhibits one of the remaining stream issues in that the stream connectors are not picking up Poly type from the Read component - next on the list 🙂

Sounds very interesting Mod, d/ling it now 🙂

Thanks ModuLR 😀

So how you likin it compared to Delphi+JUCE then mod ?

Cheers for this aswell, Anything to do with samples helps me 😉

sambean ·

Sounds filthily good!..

I also like the style you use in the coding, very clear..

ModuLR ·

thanks ppls for giving it a test... I'll keep updating it as I go along (always open to ideas.. hacks.. whatever.. hehe). btw, adding windowing would rock... dunno the difficulty in doing it tho. Lots to learn around here, so I'll be picking your brains.

Hey NAS, so far I like SM much better than any flat out coding environment (delphi or C++ via JUCE)... tho I have to say JUCE is something truely amazing and it's only getting better. It just seems like it covers almost anything you need in creating a robust application with relative ease... Jules just released the new juce vst wrapper code too. Anyway, I just don't have the patience to code like that, and debug. I'm really slow at that stuff, nor do I have the skills to write alot of the things I'm thinking about. SM is a really nice in between (especially with the code component). I've tried, reaktor, synthedit, max, pd, bidule, and so far this is my favorite without question. It gives me the closest feeling to what, in my head, object oriented programming should be all about. 🙂

Oh well... I'll be purchasing SM today... w00t!

Nu Audio Science ·

Thats quite a thumbs up then 😉 Can't wait to see the stuff you come up with, If it's anything like the stuff you coded it will be great (Stepbeater only recently took over as favourite plug from Stepchild 😀 )

i went throu the same path 🙂

I must admit i was a SE addict but never really tried the others properly except for Bidule, I was going to learn Bidule properly and then decided to see what happened to SM, It was back and i haven't looked back 😉

lalo ·

i think about Bidule more as a performance tool...not a deep DSP thing as SM 🙂

but in the future SM will surely evolve 😉

Hey Mod,

Just noticed what may be a tiny error in your accumulator modules..

for the negative bounding of the buffer you have

(currentval < lowerbound) & (upperbound - lowerbound - currentval)

where I think it should be

(currentval < lowerbound) & (upperbound - lowerbound + currentval)

It doesn't really cause problems now, but may do as you implement negative playback..

Please correct me if I'm wrong..

Cheers

Sam

ModuLR ·

you are probably right... I'm still getting my head around this crazy & bitwise stuff.. hehehe.

ModuLR ·

okee, I got a bit of time yesterday to work on this thing a little more... 'borrowed' the sliders from the itchy project 🙂 hehe... little additions here and there. The accumulator has changed... added a second streaming out that reports the current beat (step). So now there is a little 8x8 step sequencer to resort the sampled break.

Download 🙂

Everything... EVERYTHING turns into awesome electroloops when fed through this 🙂

😍

If only I had more time to play with SM at the moment!

me too 🙂

congrats Mod..that the stuff i'm after 🙂

The Sound Scientist ·

I just checked you osm out...It kicks @$!!!!! Way to go! I am also trying to build a ROMpler type plug..SM is way easier than all the other progs but Max/MSP is a good one... Its tough to figure out (I havent yet) but is really powerful....SM is allready better than MAX and it has so much more potential.. We are the type of people who have all taken the Synthpath and it appears we ha ve all tried the same apps and have come to the same conclusion along the way,........... SynthMaker 🙂 Can't wait to see more!

sambean ·

Nice work Mod, this is sounding really really good, looking forward to hear how this develops..

Again, respect to your coding style, it's helping me see how to approach things differently..

Gotto just take my hat off tho to those sliders hm, mm, mmm.. 😀

Mod your a warped nutbox 😈 And thank the maker for that 😉

ModuLR ·

thx! gonna keep at it... happy people are at least getting something out of it (possibly... hehehe).

FragileX ·

Hello ModuLR,

Thank you very much for all the great plugins you are offering to the people.

I really love this one, it's a great learning help and a great fun to move the sliders...

thank you, david

Hey Mod I had a lot of fun playing that thing! It would be cool if you made a way to switch beween several slider location banks, and switch wav file from a bank of paths (spereately). Then make a way to assign midi notes to trigger wav-slider bank combos!

I'd take a stab but I'm still cutting my teeth here. This is my second day, and the learning curve is sometimes steep and sometimes not...
