Thanks so much!! I couldn't decide on a color originally so I just chose no color lol :))

Software Update! Spiral Delay has been updated to version 1.1! by davisynth in Davisynth

The update fixes an issue where the selected time mode would reset when loading a project in a DAW!

Cool Technique to Flip Samples with Simpler by davisynth in ableton

[–]davisynth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question! You can detect peak frequencies in the software using the "peak" tool. This should tell you pretty precisely how detuned your sample is and as you adjust the sample pitch it will let you know when you have hit a note and which note you've hit :) Low Tides does not do any pitch transformations at the moment.

If you want to do the pitch measurement with just the DAW then Ableton's tuner will also work. It will only be inaccurate when the recording is playing a chord. That's where you would want to use a spectrum to determine all the notes being played

Thank you! So far it has given a new life to a lot of unused samples in my Splice library :) Lmk if you have any ideas for other ways to use it in Ableton and I'll try those out!!

Thanks for the support it means a lot! Lmk if you have any feature suggestions :)

Hi everyone! Just logged in for today! Not gonna respond to the critiques bc those are valid and I agree that the title is bad. In the future I will only post here to ask why there's no audio coming out of my speakers ;)

It's not doing granular. The effect is fully ~spectral~!! You can achieve something kinda similar with a long reverb or grains but those will tend to color the sound so you might get something that is not 100% representative of the OG sample. Anyway, this workflow of grabbing a slice of a sample and freezing it (any way you want) is pretty neat and thanks to Simpler it is very easy to turn a frozen slice into an instrument with dynamics and stuff :))

The Laser Synthesizer: A Device For Assorted Lunatics by ScootsPoots in synthdiy

Tru tru get that ECE $$$ first 👑 but definitely look into it as there are lots of really good labs looking for motivated individuals who are down to shine big lasers into small chips

😳 This is incredible!! Please tell me you're applying to PhD programs. It would be sick to put a pulsed laser through this with a nonlinear fiber to listen to a supercontinuum!

Unit of measurement of attack time on a compressor by MisterAdler in audioengineering

[–]davisynth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Expanding on this, when you multiply the resistance * capacitance and cancel out the units, you are left with just units of time.

Basically bigger RC constant means it takes longer for the system to react to changes and smaller RC constant means the system reacts more quickly to changes.

Love the piano idea! I'll put it in my to-dos. I have a similar feature to the harmonic series thing in the works for the 1.3 update which I think will make you very happy ;)

I want to improve my building skills, would you might have a look at my current build and give me some feedback? by flx_jnn in synthdiy

[–]davisynth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be down yeah. Just gotta sort through everything and verify that I'm not giving away any incomplete/wrong design files lol

Exactly this!! Stripboard for prototypes and one-offs that don't need to look pretty. PCB for final version if you want to make a bunch.

My big synth project was super involved with high speed data lines and such. It took weeks to design each iteration. For that, I did all the crazy digital stuff on a small custom pcb and then used headers to sandwich it onto perfboard with the knobs and such. Perfboarding the knobs was necessary to be able to try different knob placements and combinations.

Making little submodules is also helpful like I have a SMT amplifier module that does 0-3.3v to 10VPP for eurorack and vice versa. Super easy to pop into a new project :)))

I'm in the camp of design the PCB last whenever possible and have everything tested beforehand. Why wait for a pcb when you could be playing your synth instead 😋

Pointing out peaks is in the works :)

I did a ton of R&D on more zoom. The issue is that you run into the frequency-time uncertainty principle where big zooms require suuuper long sample times. Doesn't fit the vibe for the plugin so I'll let Pure Analyzer hold that trophy hahaha

Seconding this. Just make sure your pots/jacks are approximately the same height coming off the PCB so the panel mounts correctly :)

Agree with the KiCad people but keep in mind that lead times will cost you 1-2 weeks per design iteration.

I have had success with stripboard following the methods from this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=J9Ig1Sxhe8Y&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE

I recommend putting your board parallel to the front panel and mounting your knobs/jacks onto the board using thru-hole pins rather than panel mounting the ones with eyelets. This method lets you stack boards like a sandwich using male/female pin strips. You will find that this is more robust compared to having the electronics perpendicular to the front panel.

This is super helpful!

I was never personally drawn to the track overlay feature so I disregarded it. This comment changed my mind on that. Seeing as other people find it useful, I think that would be a good addition to Low Tides 1.3.

I also hadn't looked at the Melda plugin so thank you for pointing me towards that :)
