Hi!

I've found some time to play with SM again. The result is a 16 band audio analyser (might be the wrong name). It's simple because it's based on 16 band pass filters 😈 So the cpu usage is quite high.

In this schematic I've put a sweep generator as input to the analyser... just for demonstration.

Hallo MyCo,

klasse Arbeit!!!, schade das nur wieder soviel CPU-Power benötigt wird!

P.S: was sollen die Buttons bewirken?

Die Buttons sind zum ausschalten der einzelnen Bänder.

The buttons are for muting the single bands.

The graphics in this are awesome 🙂 Btw, you could consider using packs/unpacks to reduce the cpu usage to a fourth of it is now, should work I think.

MyCo ·

I've changed it, now it uses only 4 Bandpass filters. That Reduced CPU usage about 2% here.

Here is the new file

If you do this again...

i'll send you the bill of my ear specialist 😉

This DAMN Sweep kills my headphone and my tympanic membrane...

...without a VCA-OUT-Knob...

Thanks again MyCo! Superb...

Terence McKenna used to call that "The Strum"... a pure rising sine seems to have magical power upon men, even if is merely a typical test for PAs...isn't that strange?

@Acrobat: you have a grim sense of humor 😉

@MyCo: I think you have 2 delete the word 'simple'...

I like your Alphablending in the Gradient! Great Idea!

Do you have an idea how 2 make the width of all bar's identical?! is this the pixel2grid behaviour?

I ripped all soundout-parts - now it needs 10% in my VST...

it calculates the bar-width using the width of the whole module, so I guess it is a 1/8-grid-rounding problem. Size the module so that the bars are 2 grid-points wide, then they are all of equal width.

Very nice, great example 🙂

Congrats, Looks good!

That's a cool idea, but in the third version, I shut off all but one in the middle & it seems that I hear everything from about 1k-22k.

The roll-off isn't steep enough to give clear definition to each band.

MyCo ·

you can adjust the roll off in the properties. The option therefor is "Resonance"

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
