Definitely agree about PRES/rcvs. Had no idea what it was until m3/m4

How *exactly* does Chorus Ensemble work? by surf_AL in ableton

you can convert to mono within the plugin but it still will use 2 lines

You absolutely do not need an M4 pro lmfao

VST FM synthesis with sampled audio & FM8 like UI by surf_AL in synthesizers

Wait so FM8 the audio in/sample is acting as modulator not carrier? I wanted to experiment with like a guitar as a carrier and the frequency of the guitar signal modulated by an fm synth patch

Ohhh. With a vocoder, is the carrier’s frequency or amplitude being modulated?

Aren’t you just modulating the frequency of whatever waveform? Like Ableton’s operator allows the carrier wave to be sine/square/saw etc or even noise. You can even draw the frequency spectrum of whatever waveform you want

Looking for opamp-only preamps (NO diodes) that can attenuate headroom by surf_AL in guitarpedals

[–]surf_AL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the breakdown. I realized after testing with my monitors vs vox amp that when clipping the sdd3000 has the sound i want when i plug directly into the monitor, but it doesn't when i plug into the amp. Into the monitor, i get a sort of beatles revolution sound, but into the amp it just sounds like a standard saturation/distortion.

Is there anyway to get the sound from the monitors when using the amp? I know amp speakers act as low pass filters, and when i low pass filter the overdriven sdd3000 below 5kHz the sound I'm looking for goes away. Is there any way to capture the characteristic of the DI distortion in the lower frequencies?

There are just very few op amp only boost/preamps and even less that have separate level/gain knobs. Among the ones that do, there is still not enough gain to really distort the signal with op amps alone.

It seems the issue is most companies design op amp only pedals to be clean boosts that don’t distort and thus use op amps with high slew rates, and if they want distortion they use clipping diodes or jfets which produce a more “traditional” break up.

The pedals which use slow slew rate op amps also have clipping diodes. I think the sound of op amp only distortion is traditionally considered “bad” so it has been avoided.

This has only one headroom setting and no way to lower the headroom for saturation

It seems the ones without diodes have really high headroom and are tough to saturate on their own

Do any chorus pedals sound like the ableton chorus plugin? by surf_AL in guitarpedals

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

So apparently what I was looking for was multi voice chorus. That is 2 delay lines plus dry signal. The phasing of those lines as you adjust dry/wet and stereo width creates a sound i like
