Simple Time Synced Delay

BasherT · 7 Nov 2006

I have been working to improve this since my last post.

The VU input meter now works.

I have improved the GUI notably with an LCD counter (All credit goes to oddson for this marvellous module).

I have added in a button that allows you to choose the units for the delay between the steps on the neighbouring button and milliseconds.

The bitmap push button still does not quite work correctly (problem on initialisation)

The delay also seems to reduce the level of the signal significantly. I need to work on a auto-make-up-gain module (unless anyone else has one they are willing to share?)

I know it is simple stuff to all you old timers but I have only been using synthmaker for 7 days now!

That's a great GUI! Looking good.

Here is the latest version of my simple delay.

- VU meter now works - Bitmap buttons working properly

Nice work dude, I've always liked Reason's delay unit. How would I need to modify this to make it so the knobs can be linked to a controller?

I noticed that the knobs can't be automated or linked to a controller in FL Studio via the last used/browse paramters option. Not sure if this problem exists in other hosts, but the example synth that comes with SM has no problem automating/linking the knobs.

• Inside one of your knobs, look in the MIDI CC module • If the Wireless Input (labeled Link) that has the red (M)IDI connector isn't glowing green, then you need to get a MIDI signal transmitted to it

• Go back up to the inside of your VST(i) • Drop somewhere a Wireless Output (labeled Link) • Right-click over the connector, & select the red M symbol • Drop & connect a regular Module Input (labeled In) to it

• Go into each module w/a knob untill you see it's Animated Knob • Don't go inside that, but click on the (P) in the bottom right (P=Properties) • Next to "MIDI cc", click on the check box & assign a controller number • Do the same thing with the Push Button Bitmap, etc, if you wish.

That was the first thing I thought of but it doesn't seem to work.

Hi needle,

give us a link 2 your schematic with the externals...

The above Osm has only stereo IN/Out's!

sorry... forgot you need to get MIDI data to the wireless recievers inside each knob. I updated my instructions above w/a few new steps at the start

I'm using the same schematic BasherT posted. All I'm trying to do is modify his to be automatable/linkable.

I must be retarded because I've followed all these instructions and it still doesn't work. I know I'm doing something wrong, I just don't know what.

Here is BasherT's schematic with the modifications you suggested, except I'm using standard inputs instead of wireless so it's easier to see what I'm doing and where I've gone wrong.

Thanks for the wonderful delay, it really sounds great. I do use reason quite a lot and like the delay's in there. I used the delay in my upcoming freeware synth. If there is any skinning work I can do for you let me know, I sure want to return the favor. Still working on this, there are a few things I need to do to the GUI...sneak preview...

Here is a modification of the delay so the unit count will work with a preset manager.

@needle: Be aware that Midi CC (Control Changes) is not the same as the Midi Channel!!!

I see only a "1" in your Knob-Property...

What Hardware do you use???

@AM: Your PM Runner-Frontpage locks really great as always!!! 😉

Hi All

I have developed a version with Midi Learn. The Feedback, Pan and Dry/Wet knobs have a midi learn function. ALt + left click on a knob and then move your midi controller to assign that knob to that controller.

Hope that sorts out what you were after needle.

I am very please that Angular Momentum has used my meagre effort in what looks to be an amazing synth.

The new OSM above has a fourth LED indicator because that is what Reason has. I hope that doesn't mess up your GUI AM!

I am working on a means by which the number in the GUI changes when you swtich units so that the delay remains unaltered. This too reflect sthe Reason delay. No joy yet on that one but I am messing around with arrays which may yet provide the answer.

I am also working on a new multi-tap delay which will have filter and distortion sections too. I may call in the favour for a decent GUI yet AM if you really meant the offer!!

Sure thing BasherT! I just finished some skinning work for Sunsynth, and I think he is quite happy with the results. Sure got time now to help you out.

I just got over the midi learn part again....thanks for showing me how to do that one in SM....this is VERY useful to me!
