🧵 … 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.

🧵 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.

Rather not go #iPad for live?!
I love this effect: The #Descent #GranularReverb / #GranularDelay by #AudioDamage – live on bass: https://makertube.net/w/hMwaXVNb1mTMGMv28yDvwU
… 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.
