Greeeeeeeeeeeed!


I wasn't supposed to do that just before taking my vacations, but I couldn't resist writing this thingie.
Question1: What is it and what does it?
hint:
here is an audio example
Question2: what is the original sample taken from?

Interesting, both sound and interface.

Is the original sample Closer by Nine Inch Nails?

no, this is not NIN

It's Squarepusher! ;) The name of the track is Do You Know Squarepusher.

Btw.. LiveCut Rocks!

Have a nice day!

Oh! I forgot the first question..
I think it's a freqshifter of some sort with bands and shit heh..
GRM Tools Freqshift comes pretty close I think.

I like it! Bring it on!

whoops, forgot to try my answers:

Q1 - its a sound mangler

Q2 - is it a Mouse On Mars track?

It's Squarepusher! ;) The name of the track is Do You Know Squarepusher.

right, that was easy isn't?

there's still Q1 to answer though...
it's not a freqshifter, it's much simpler, and yes there are bands...
it could be viewed as a granular thingie but it isn't either.

Something with sinewaves that are modulated by different bands of the audio stream?

sounds like a windowlicker :)

it's obviously a spectral convolution thingie! you draw the picture and apply the fft to the sound...I'll bet!

maybe it is squarepusher but it sounds a whole lot like this dabrye song of instrmntl

Windowlicker :)

Sounds like a cross between some hipass/lowpass filters, spectral-convolution, and some kind of slice reorganization.

:)

Lovin it...

Perhaps it's a visual representation of a signal divided with FFT into rows and columns of Frequencies vs. Amplitudes. When all the squares are grey (i.e. exactly between black and white) the sound would be unchanged. Raising the middle bar of the rows might push that particular frequency range up, causing a pitch shift effect on a small range of freqs. Then you would also be able to play with the levels with the bars below the colums, shifting them up and down when a sound comes within a certain dB level.

That's my guess : )

It sounds a whole lot like an FFT amplitude gate with a little samplerate reducing to clear up the baubliness of FFT gating.

I think it might be noise reduction. no?

Sorry to butt in but, the original track is bob marley - Jammin? am I right.

btw you guys make some kick ass plugs....

any update to when this plug will be ready for OS X?

sorry I can't release it for some reasons which are out of my control.

but watch out something called X-micks during the next DAFX conference.
