THROSC'ed

By cTrix on July 1, 2012 8:26 pm

2 weeks ago fellow Weekly Beater Phil Harmonic released a work-in-progress VSIi plugin. It's still heavily in development and missing many of which will be the final features... no ADSR, no volumes on OSCs, no LFO and a click bug due to not returning oscillators to DC unity (which I hope he makes as a toggle!) - but despite it being an early beta I thought I'd give it a go and see what I could squeeze out with it.

This is 100% THROSC plug-in... EVEN THE DRUMS (!!!) (it can make a mean kick sound) Making the snare and hats was really hard though (stacked 4 instances with fast randomised pitch bends and frequency offsets with the highpass filter) But then the Choir-pad sound came really easy with 2 layered instances. It ended up being 10 VSTi instances with baked drums at which point my DAW stopped adding more instances (is this a limitation?). I tried to avoid EQ using the THROSC filters to shape the sound instead - so apart from drums this is largely non-eq'ed. HUGE thanks to Phil Harmonic for releasing this plug-in for us all to try.

Wow.. really innovative use of the plugin. The faux-hihats sound rad. There is no limitation on the number of instances, but your DAW might be limiting it. The plug does use a lot of memory for the giant wave tables. As I said in my email to you, there will be a new version soon with ADSR on the Amp and the global filter. Plan to add LFOs later, but honestly, that might be for a different plug. Wanna keep this one really simple and light if I can. Thanks again for giving it a try. Sounds awesome

oh also.. as for the DC reset. Usually that is done with a short fade. With the ADSR you will be able to keep the click if you so choose.

Really cool... I like how the drums came out. I got to try this out. Probably take me a month to squeeze out some blips but your piece came out really well.
