  1. 🧵 … continuing my research on replacing my bass guitar pedal board by audio plugins in #Carla, I tried #TalChorusLX today, and not to my surprise, I like it.

    Another #plugin I found today is simply called #Overdrive, by #vzTec. Digital overdrives are quite a difficult thing, and coming from a simple analog #tcElectronic #DarkMatter, the vzTec Overdrive is the first I encountered that I might actually want to use.

    Yet I won't use it live, because it consumes too much CPU power for my old machine.

    So what's the fuzz about all this, overdrive and chorus in the box, if I do have a pedal board full of expensive TC gear?

    Well… the board cannot host #AudioDamage #Decent #GranularDelay / #GranularReverb anyways, and hardware granular stuff is more expensive than a used Mac M1.

    Plus… why not having a laptop-sized *extra* pedal board? For almost no money? Both plugins in this toot are: Free as free beer.

  2. 🧵 … so adding that #AudioDamage #Dubstation2 #Delay was a bit too much for my old PC in the endavor of creating a bass FX pedal train in #Carla on #Linux.

    I had thought.

    But just today, Audio Damage released version 1.0.9 of their #Descent #GranularDelay / #GranularSampler which features: Performance improvements on Linux.

    And all of a sudden, my old PC is okay at least at 256 samples buffer with running this weird setup live…

    (Yes, this includes #DecentSampler, since one of my basses has an additional MIDI pickup.)

    I really love updates that do make my life better.

    (One might almost think that these days, updates only make things worse. But it's not all Windows 11 doing AI shit or macOS losing features.)

    EDIT: This now seems to work even at 128 samples buffer.

    EDIT2: The gain modules in the graph are controlled by an AKAI LPD8 MIDI controller.

  3. 🧵 So, apparently there is a few #delay #plugin things that do accept #MIDI NoteOn as tap tempo signal.

    Not surprisingly, one is by #AudioDamage, the guys also bringing us the #Descent #GranularDelay / #GranularReverb – also for #Linux.

  4. Rather not go #iPad for live?!

    I love this effect: The #Descent #GranularReverb / #GranularDelay by #AudioDamage – live on bass: makertube.net/w/hMwaXVNb1mTMGM

    … on #Linux in #Carla. Yet I don't like PCs on stage so much.

    I also like #DecentSampler which I can play via MIDI.

    So I bought Descent for #IOS, Decent Sampler is free, and from previous experiments I have this CME WIDI Thru6 BT, a Bluetooth MIDI interface for IOS and others. There's a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface floating around… so fine?

    Well, no. My iPad is an older model using #AppleLightning as a connector and this does not provide enough power. So the battery drains even when connected to the strongest power supply. This cannot be solved, except by buying a newer iPad.

    I cannot feed my bass mono into Descent, since it always takes both interface channels as stereo. Descent support suggest buying the AUM plugin host for IOS.

    All of a sudden, doing this on a Laptop with Linux and Carla seems so much simpler to me.

  6. The first #audiodamage #vst I've been using just got re-released:

    #^ShinRonin: Free Modular Filter and Delay | Audio Damage

    Free modular filter and delay plugin from Audio Damage, the original 2003 Ronin reborn! For macOS, Windows, iPadOS, and Linux.

    Just for funsies, we decided to see if we could update one of our original products, Ronin (first released in 2003, deprecated in 2009), to our current systems. Much hilarity ensued, and it was absolutely 100% more trouble than it was worth.

    But we got it done, and are happy to present ShinRonin, a fully modernized version of Ronin, for free as in beer, on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with iOS waiting on Review.

    This is not a port or recreation; it is the original 23-year-old plugin's code and UI, running in a modern multi-format context. We've even converted the original factory presets! So go forth, get your vintage digital explosive feedback loop on, and enjoy your summer!

  7. @Ercanbrack Maybe you could talk to Chris Randall at #audiodamage. He has been in the VST game since early 2000s and while not being open source he has opened up to Linux a while ago
