Spectral Lemuring is, as the name implies, a spectral processing effect which is inspired by a discontinued freeware plugin with a similar name. The feature set isn’t exactly the same, but like the plugin that inspired it, it can process the high-magnitude and low-magnitude parts of the FFT signal separately, and can also “freeze” the signal.

Among the ways it differs from its inspiration are the separate pitch shifting for high and low-magnitude signals, and a resynthesis section (another way of “rebuilding” the FFT signal) which can be mixed with the iFFT output. The split point for the high and low-magnitude signals can also be modulated.

This plugin is mostly finished, though I will probably be adding preset management as present in other recent FSA plugs, fixing some graphical stuff, etc. Patreon supporters get access to a preview version, available from the FSA Patreon page.

The audio in this one is all hardware generated, with sounds coming from Loid, my DIY Lunetta-style modular, plus effects. Video is footage from the game Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator, processed with Acid Cam.

This is something I’ve been meaning to do since I heard about it, and finally got finished and sent. I have contributed a set of samples to the Stargate Sample Pack, which is described like so:

A properly open source, crowd sourced, free, royalty-free, attribution-free sample pack, designed for the common use-cases and a relatively small download size. Stargate DAW projects bundle the samples they use, but nearly all sample packs either do not allow redistributing samples, or have vague licensing that makes distributing samples questionable or difficult. This sample pack aims to create high quality samples, for free, that can be used by anybody for any purpose, without restriction.

My contribution includes drums, loops, some guitar noises, synthetic sound fx, and a few “found sounds.”

I mentioned the Stargate DAW in an update to the “Free Windows Studio” article, but in case you haven’t heard about it, it is described by the devs as “a DAW for everybody, regardless of socio-economic status,” and is designed to be “capable of running on all CPU architectures, past, present and future.” Though I haven’t found time to play with it much myself, I really like the idea, and I’m excited to be contributing in some small part to the project. You can read more about it (and how to contribute yourself if interested) here:

As usual, the VCV patch is available from the Patches page.

Another VCV Rack session, as usual, the patch is available here. This one was done with V2, so should definitely load fine for those who have updated the program. Video was captured from MilkDrop 2.

Noise Therapy: Session 017

No Description

If you want more noise, I also posted a new track to the Skin Contact Bandcamp page, a follow-up to last year’s “humbug.” It is available as a “pay what you want” download.

Playing with VCV Rack again… the audio and video both originate there with this one, though the video has been given the Acid Cam treatment. This patch was made in V1 of Rack, and I haven’t tested it to see if everything will load in the recently-released V2. The patch will be made available here just the same.

The audio in this one comes from NANDroid, being processed in Plogue’s Bidule (with Autophage, among other things). The video is footage of the game Deer Simulator run through Acid Cam.

Noise Therapy: Session 015

Audio in this one comes from the recently-released VST3i NANDroid, which is free, and can be downloaded from the FSA website:https://www.fstateaudio.com/?pag…

NANDroid is a noisebox synth based loosely on the TrigPulser module I built for my hardware Lunetta-style modular. As such, it shares some DNA with the “Loid’s Cousin” Reaktor ensemble as well, which also features a section based on that module. This plugin takes the idea in a slightly different direction though, with stuff like LFO’s and a filter.

You can get the plugin (in VST3i format) and hear audio demos at the VST plugins page.
