JSFX: Ze Cheesy Harmonic Synth

[cfillion]

I've just merged my changes (mostly file naming consistency, simplified header syntax and fixed a few missing files).
After synchronizing, I recommend uninstalling the effects and re-installing them to fully clean up everything from ReaPack's side (that is an uninstall then install, not simply a reinstall).

Wow,
Thanks cfillion, thank you to you all, i've tested all the plugins and all of them work fine.

(

to see if all plugins work i stacked them rather at random. Here is such a stack
Shepard synth -> Morpho Dist -> Lattice Filter -> Ze Big Chorus and the resulting sound: https://soundcloud.com/thierry-rochebois-1/spooky-voice.

)

Now, to the average user, some may be quite difficult to understand.

I think that the next step for me is to provide:

• A doc that lists the plugins with a brief description for each one.
• More detailed documentation for every and each of them.
• RPL preset files.

Is there a way to make documentation and preset files easily available to the users ?

That would be great but No rush, at your own pace. 👍

To say the truth, when i tested some plugins i was embarrassed because i forgot what sliders were useful to...

Documentation: Yes since reapack v1.1 betas, check out Misc/TiaR_PM_Resynth.jsfx for an example (about tag). It can be formatted with markdown syntax.

Preset files: mpl bundled a few *.RPL files in some packages (such as Ze Morpho Dist), more can be added that way. They are installed along with the FX. I don't know if there could be a way for these files to be imported automatically...

In fact, i'd like to write some PDF documents ultimately (i ve already started some, they are in the stash).

The problem with the Effects directory is that it is literally hidden !

On a PC it is under C:\Uses\<user>\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\Effects

the AppData directory is a hidden directory and it is not natural for users to get documentation from this place.

Would it be possible for Reapack to install documents in the... well... Documents directory, where all other software install their documents ?

About Ze Cheezy Harmonic Synth...

My new goal is to allow Phase Modulation from an incoming signal. But unlike the DX synths, i will be Phase Modulation with complex waveforms (Walsh functions for example) as carrier and as modulator.

Yhe only synth that was capable to achieve this - without aliasing - was the Synclavier. There was no aliasing because it used a dedicated variable sample rate converter for each voice.

In brief, i want to make sort of a hybrid mixture of early digital synths.

Sounds cool! Any chance it might become polyphonic as well? Looking forward to the new version!

cheers,

Hi Argee,

I plan to make a "Cheesy Harmonic Organ" some day, but it won't have the phase modulation feature.

I also still have my old project of creating jsfx modules that could be combined/stacked... Sort of modular synthesis. Those modules would be MIDI controlled and consist of oscillators, filters, envelope generators... All of them would have low aliasing.
"Ze Cheesy Harmonic Osc" would be part of them.

I suggest linking to them so it can be downloaded if and where desired.

Here is the "organ" version of Ze Cheesy Harmonic Synth

It is based on the same engine: 16 Walsh functions. With their characteristic squarish tonalities.

New features:

• full polyphony (just tell me if your CPU explodes...)
• a LP filter with resonance and dedicated ADSR envelope per voice
• three detuned osc per voice (the detune ratios of the secondary oscs are adjustable).

The outputs are added to the outputs of the previous plugin... that means that you can stack them.

No kidding, I am very concerned by CPU and perfs, so let me know how it behaves !

A few preset for Ze DigitHarmOrgan

(The new version will be in ReaPack soon)

this will fit in real nice...
