tonegate js effect
here's my first shot at a JS effect - implementing the plugin described in http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?p=177304
UPDATED 23/apr/08 - added dynamic pitch, new link: http://remaincalm.org/jsfx/tonegate.zip
features:
* generates sine, noise or square wave based on triggered by track input
* gate has attack/release
* wet/dry mix
* noise and squarewave can be low-pass filtered
cheers

I must have some kind of gift or something, because I didn't look at your tone generator post until after I posted my thread about Generator X. I've even thought about things that I need to get done with some sort of processing technique and it's been the first post in the forum from time to time.

Yes that is SERVICE. I got tons of other good esoteric ideas. It just takes too long to remember all the stuff I've forgotten how to do. Or the tricks that I've learned along the way.
I'll try out this JS soon. And give my feedback to make it better than what it may be (it may already be great).
One small issue, how would a JS be turned into a VST or ported to VST to be used outside of Reaper (dare I say).

i'm pretty sure that there's a VST version of the JS engine in development - see here http://www.cockos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18593
there's also a DX version that's available somewhere

btw, i've credited these in the code, but just so everyone's aware: this uses some elements of some other JS effects - specifically tonegenerator, noisegate, and lowpassfilter. thanks to everyone who's GPL'ed their work here, it's a really nice environment.
there's also a JS plugin called '50hz kicker' that does something similar to this if all you need is some sub.

Yes, there are a few other effects doing similar stuff (indeed, having been reminded of mda test tone in the other thread, I also dug out mda subsynth).
But I've just mixed a tune and the tonegate won hands down. Lovely implementation, sound is ace.
So thanks again!
There is one other feature that would make this the ultimate weapon: if you had the option of the tone falling in pitch while fading, But don't worry, I'm pretty damned chuffed with it the way it is!
Cheers!

dub3000 owes me royalties for the JS effect (that I still haven't used yet, because there's no VST). I kiiiid, I kiiiid (:
I don't use Reaper much for creation, mainly only to mix or time stretch. No better DAW for time stretch in the world.

Hi Larry,
Well I know just about how to use this/these things in kick, but could you enlighten us how to use this in snare/hihat?

there's a filtered noise option in there that you can use to fatten up snares.

Yes but not what I meant.

This is what I meant. Grab say a clap track. Or a snare track (snares are much more sensitive to low end you add, but can help just as well).
You set your signal to sine, you set your threshold to a setting that doesn't linger too long. You set your release so it doesn't fade too quick or Too short.
You then set your attack to taste, but not at 0 attack,unless you want that sound, you probably won't like it.
Then (this is where you hone it in) you move your freq slider to where it blends well with the signal (clap, hat, snare etc. . . )
It should be around 60 Hz and MAYBE 100 Hz, but that's high, you're looking for subtle movement in your drivers when those sounds play, not really "hearing" the effect, but when you drop the effect out, your clap hat etc. . . will be SMALL AS HELL, you'll feel like the floor dropped out from you.
Again, it's subtle, (but my production / music style) doesn't use traditional Bass Lines to establish bottom, it's done with the the drums and certain synths, but much to do with lot's of low end, that doesn't fight, because there's no bass line eating up massive amounts of low end.
But for you, you can side chain bass with this effect and the bass will move to let the low hat / snare through.
Anything you don't get let me know, and I'll post a before after of say a drum mix (my style of course).

I get it but I'd still like to hear the before/after.
I spent a while putzing around with it after you issued your effulgent praise above. Seems like a useful widget.
