Ready for upload ! Pitch Envelope
🕑 Added 2021-06-11 09:28:31 +0000 UTCHello my dear contributors !
As announced here and there, here is my PitchEnvelope device, ready to be freely downloaded in a moment.
What is that thing ?
It takes any sound as an input like an envelope follower does (with a threshold, attack and release parameters set).
It then triggers the drawn pitch change envelope following the configured rate (in time division or ms), with a downgoing and upgoing configurable maximum pitches.
The depth parameter allows to reduce (or automate) the overall pitch amplitude: if upward and downward are set to 12st but depth is only 50%, the pitch will only go up or down 6st.
The offset knob allows to globally pitch shift the sound.
The envelope can loop or trigger only once.
To draw shapes:
- click anywhere to draw a point
- click and drag a point to move it
- shift click a point to remove it
- alt drag any segment to change its curve
- click on one of the preconfigured shapes to load it
- middle of the grid is alway 0 even if down pitch and up pitch are different. For example if down pitch is set to zero, then any curve below the middle will have no effect at all.
Envelope drawing can snap to grid or not, and grid can be set as needed (separate X and Y)
Click on the cross to clear the drawing.
On top of the incoming sound, you can drag any sample into the drop zone, and this sample will be played when envelope gets triggered. Sample can play once only or loop.
To change the selected area of the sample that you wish to play, click on "wave edit". A new menu appears allowing to do vertical zoom on the waveform. From there you can :
- select an area: click on the cursor, then click and drag the area
- move and change the size of the selection: click on the left-right arrow, then click and drag horizontally (move selection) or vertically (increase/decrease selection size)
- scroll and zoom in/out of the waveform: click on the hand, then left-right click and drag scrolls, and up-down click and drag zoomes in-out (like in clip or arrangement view)
Input signal and sample can be mixed (you can totally mute the input signal to use it only as a trigger for the sample for example).
PItch envelope can be smoothed if needed, and the "grain" size adjusted (useful for very fast pitch envelopes, can lead into weird effects).
For my latest Patreons, contact me to get the link to download it ;-)
As always, send me your feedback and have fun !
