dear SFP developpers i have a project of a device called brokebreaker
huicholity who is a great french developper helped me and made a beta
device.
it's a simple device including delay + gate + time system management
it already works and make unique effects with any audio source
but i'm looking for somebody to go further in this work.
of course it would be a free device (they are pretty rare these days....and
it is a shame.)
please try Brokebreaker_alpha3p.dev if it works on your pc (it does on my
SFP3.1)
infact at the beginning i was dreaming of making a looper like jamman or
echoplex
so i started thinking of it and i finally designed the brokebreaker
if you're interested in this project please contact me : bigboost@free.fr
here's the few improvements to do:
1/midi channel switchable 1,2,3,4,,,,,,,16,Omni
2/decimal tempo 119.999
the great thing would be to have the tempo locked to midi clock but it seems
to be difficult because of the
midi clock fluctuation......
3/smoothing the gate
because some clicks may appear , a fast enveloppe would be great....
4/create a function that erase the delay buffer when releasing a note (note
off---->delay initialized)
you'l understand why when trying the device
5/correct a little delay betwwen dry signal and looped signal
it's a very small delay but you can hear it with fast values
6/i think this rythmic system is far better than SFP delay's one
(16P,16T,16,8T,8P,8)
because it allows you to have 5/4 or 7/4 delay signature wich is really
great (tired of 8P .....)
but the values available should be:
FLOW: 8,12,16,24
SIZE: 1,2,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19
in fact here's how you count the delay time:
delay time (milliseconds)=K.SIZE/tempo.FLOW
k=24000
some details about how it works:
basically the brokebreaker switch between 2 channels:bypass and delayed
signal
itswitch from bypass to delay when receiving note on
and it switch from delay to bypass when receiving note off
but the delay is associated to a gate
infact there are 2 different options in the architecture of the device
1/ this is the configuration of the attached device
Brokebreaker_alpha3p.dev
-there is a gate before the delay (with a gatehold of the time of the delay)
and the gate sarts when receiving note on . also when receiving note on
feedback is set to the max and to zero when receiving note off .
here you will hear a repetition X milliseconds AFTER the note on midi
message (X=delay time)
2/ second option
the signal goes directly in the delay with feedback set to zero
when receiving note on the input of the delay is switched off (using a gate)
and the feedback is set to max
when receiving note off the input of the delay is switched on and the
feedback is set to zero
you will hear a repetition of the signal immediatly when sending note on
midi message
both options works and both are greats
the second one is usefull because you can loop on the fly somethin you've
just hear and it's very musical
the best would be to be able to choose between 2 modes
of course all suggestions and inventions are welcome
thanks for reading that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
