    Beat Choppin' VST Plugin

    Beat Chopper is a free VST plugin that allows you to load an audio sample, split it, and trigger it from various positions by MIDI.

    You can split the sample evenly to 4, 8, 16 or 32 parts or use automatic split point detection that is based on volume. The user interface displays the waveform, chop points, and current playing position.

    Beat Chopper is a great tool for slicing up a beat sample and make variations of it. However, you don't have to limit yourself just to drum loops - use your imagination and chop up for example a guitar riff!

    The plugin supports only loading of WAV files.

    [​IMG]
    This is a free plugin that was developed by Moki-Moki Ios. It uses the WDL / IPlug framework (Oli Larkin Edition) and libsndfile (licensed under GNU LGPL v2.1 / v3).

    Supported Systems
    Currently the plugin is only available as Windows DLL. It has been tested on Reaper and Hermann Seib's VSTHost. In addition to these programs Beat Chopper rocks in all music production environments or DAWs implementing VST instrument support, including Cakewalk, Cubase, and FL Studio.

    Mammut
    Sound processing software


    [​IMG]

    Mammut is a program for Linux, Windows and Mac that do sound processing in the frequency domain. The program makes an FFT, a “fast Fourier transform” of sound in its entirety. Various operations can then be done in the frequency domain, such as non-linear stretching of the spectrum and spectrum shift. Mammut is a rather unpredictable program, and the user must get used to letting go of control over the time axis. The sounding results are often surprising and exciting. Mammut is also ideal for common operations such as filtering, spectrum shift and convolution and it provides an optimal performance.

    Making a “mammoth FFT” in the entire sound, instead of splitting into short windows are unusual. One such method involves the development over time as a part of the spectral coefficients in a non-intuitive way, and changes in the frequency domain could alter development in the time domain. Mammut uses a conventional radix-2 FFT, but the number of points in the analysis are typically several million, and not a few thousand which one is used in short-FFT.

    Signal processing routines in Mammut is mainly designed and programmed by Øyvind Hammer, the user interface is mainly made by Kjetil Matheussen.

    Juce. Mammut’s GUI-set. (necessary to compile the program)

    HyperMammut, another mammut based on Notam’s Padsynth which is used in ZynAddSubFx.

    TAPESTREA : Techniques And Paradigms for Expressive Synthesis, Transformation,
    and Rendering of Environmental Audio (also known as taps)

    - - - - a - new - way - to - design - sound - - - -
    authors: [ tapestreators ]
    date: 2004 - present
    version: 0.1.0.6 (tap tap)

    [​IMG]

    what is it? : TAPESTREA (or taps) is a unified framework for interactively analyzing, transforming and synthesizing complex sounds. Given one or more recordings, it provides well-defined means to:

    • identify points of interest in the sound and extract them into reusable templates
    • transform sound components independently of the background and/or other events
    • continually resynthesize the background texture in a perceptually convincing manner
    • controllably place event templates over backgrounds, using a novel graphical user interface and/or scripts written in the ChucK audio programming language
    Taps provides a new way to completely transform a sound scene, dynamically generate soundscapes of unlimited length, and compose and design sound by combining elements from different recordings. Tailored for sound designers, audio researchers, composers, and anyone interested in experimenting with sound.

    go forth and design cool sounds

    Reviews :
    in Computer Music Journal:
    "Of the Thursday morning concert I would like to mention Loom (Etude II pour un enfant seul), a collaborative work by Ge Wang, Perry Cook, and Ananya Misra ... who received the award for the best ICMC paper at this year's conference. Loom is a demo-style work, with excellent transformation of natural sounds using software created at Princeton University called TAPESTRA (available for download at taps.cs.princeton.edu). The magical experience of listening to this work was that most of the sound sources used were beautifully manipulated, but nevertheless still identifiable."

    AudioThing - Filter Jam (vst fx)

    [​IMG]


    Filterjam is a multi-band resonant filter delivering weird ringmod-like filtered sounds. The input signal is divided into 4 bands that are then summed or multiplied together according to the selected mode. Filterjam can be very harsh or gentle, it can add brightness or depth to synth sounds, but it can also completely mangle acoustic sources.

    Specifications
    Multi-Band Resonant Filter
    Lightweight on CPU
    Preset system with randomizer
    Formats: VST, AU, and AAX (32/64bit)
    Platforms: OSX, Windows

    Download here (free) :

    **** Gotta sign up with fake name and junk email. Log-into junk email and download immediately though :)

    Sonar now free, renamed ‘Cakewalk by BandLab’
    Published 4/4/18
    Windows DAW free to download with Sonar Platinum feature set
    [​IMG]

    In November, Gibson publicly killed Cakewalk. Then, three months later, BandLab Technologies announced they would be bringing it back, having acquired the DAW-maker's intellectual property. Today, though, they’ve done something even more unexpected. BandLab Technologies have relaunched Sonar, with the entire Sonar Platinum feature set and made it completely free, under the new title of ‘Cakewalk by BandLab’.

    This makes sense of comments by BandLab Technologies CEO Meng Ru Kuok who had previously stated that current Sonar users "will not need to spend any money to cross-over/cross-grade to the future flagship product."

    Cakewalk by BandLab includes the core premium features found in the very capable Sonar Platinum (which used to cost £399), including the Skylight user interface, flexible ProChannel modules, ARA integration and an end-to-end 64-bit mix engine.

    [​IMG]

    It’s worth noting that third-party products that used to be bundled with Sonar Platinum, such as Melodyne Essential, Addictive Drums and a few others are not currently included with Cakewalk by BandLab. However, users who previously bought these products as part of a Sonar Platinum bundle will continue to be able to use them in the new DAW, as will those who have independent licences.

    BandLab Technologies CEO Meng Ru Kuok describes an “aggressive feature development roadmap ahead” for Cakewalk by BandLab and this new version already sports some previously unreleased features such as integration with BandLab Assistant (which replaces Sonar’s Command Centre) for dragging and dropping loop content to Cakewalk from Assistant. Also, it adds the ability to replace Track Templates and adds a theme-capable Piano Roll View meaning you can choose a darker look for late-night music-making.

    [​IMG]As you’d expect from Cakewalk, Windows integration is as strong as ever and the new DAW will support recent Windows advancements including pen, touch and Surface Dial throughout the user interface. BandLab Technologies already develop BandLab, a social music platform featuring a 12-track collaborative DAW that’s freely available for web browser, iOS and Android. The free distribution of Cakewalk by BandLab fits with the company’s mission of bringing professional music production tools to the masses, regardless of their means. And while it remains to be seen whether Cakewalk for BandLab will become to Windows what GarageBand is to Mac, this could be the catalyst for making it an even more popular DAW than it is already.

    There's yet to be any public announcement regarding a Mac version, but Windows users can download Cakewalk by BandLab now, for free. All you need to do is sign up for a free BandLab account.

    If you're a current Sonar user and want more info on how this will affect you, read the latest Cakewalk forum post from BandLab Technologies CEO, here.
