It doesn't really extract "fundamental" from the audio you import it just adds (pre-defined) resonance(s) to the sound with a very narrow eq boost, and that boost is defined by the amplitude of the audio, that's how I see how it works. It doesn't really use the original audio really for anything expect as kind of envelope follower to the eq boost. Nothing special imho but I guess ok for built with AI. Tough crowd, ey?

I did. Although I'm not claiming that I made particularly good and accurate prompts. However I thought that vibe coding meant exactly that - to let the machine do the work. If you start a discussion about the topic, before you know ChatGPT will offer to you "build a basic synthesizer plugin in VST3. Do you want me to do that?" I agreed, but wasn't flattered by how it went on.

I get that you may need another AI for this to work. I heard that people do amazing things with Claude and such, but I've never used them. Maybe I had wrong expectations by just using the free version of ChatGPT, without background knowledge (but a fresh install of Juice and Visual Studio).

My overall view on this is very different however: It's over. These models WILL be able to do all the work in the future in a fraction of the time a human would need. There's no denying - maybe we're just not there yet.

While the majority isn't taking these tools serious right now (maybe myself included) they will amp up their abilities in the background just to surprise everyone with it's power, when it's already too late.

 

haha yah for sure. I think there is some pitch tracking too, or maybe you just set the scale i forget. Def nothing crazy that hasn't been done before. Ive been doing similar with just stock plugins for years. To me its still noteworthy though. Going from zero programming knowledge to a fully working VST instrument, with a fair amount of settings / tweakability is wild. Works as intended, stable, no crazy cpu hit, somewhat unique specialized instrument from nothing is just cool! I think it will be fun to see stuff like this. Someones specific vision on a more niche instrument / effect.

Oh man, ChatGPT is (was?) terrible at this sort of stuff. I have heard that the latest update changes that, but have yet to experiment. Using Claude and creating specialty agents to aid in the creation process you can get somewhere.

 

It was obvious that they would rely on AI to save time and labor costs. But what does the programmer who has to feed this AI with data cost? On the other hand, as with Camel Audio's Alchemy, development times of four years are simply no longer feasible today. I think you could call this development forced rationalization due to the high labor costs.

Initially, however, I believe that AI development is primarily driven by low-wage countries like India, for example. I think in 10-15 years or more, AI will enable the creation of plugins—essentially ready-made modular systems. It will also be interesting to see teams of "crackers" who hack these modular systems and make them accessible to everyone, so that eventually you can design your own compressor.

Anything is possible; it's also possible that many companies will go bankrupt.
