No, sorry. But note that when you hover your mouse cursor over the knobs you'll have a description of what it does in the footer area.

Nice plugin!

I am with some others in this thread, i would like to see some more modulation options.
Is that going to happen?

This is a really great plugin! Nice work Tritik

I'm really impressed by the crystal clear audio quality. However, I did notice I have to run the 64-bit Windows demo in "fixed buffer mode" in FL Studio in order to eliminate some nasty clicking sounds. Anyone else notice that? All criticism aside, I'm in love with this one

With Logic 10.2 in Mavericks 10.9.5 I noticed that automating the base frequency results in tonal jumps. Also the parameter does visual jumps. It seems to that there is no interpolation between the values.

And the shown value in Logic doesn't correlate to the shown value in the plugin. Values shown as automation go from 0.00 to 1.00, the plugin shows 20 Hz - 1000 Hz

Here's a sound sample, where I made a simple snare riser and automate the base frequency, and a filter in another plugin. For this example I made it 100% wet:

to be honest, no promises really. but that's something we would like to look at!

thanks! I'll pm you to get some precision and try to reproduce.

thanks for reporting that. you are right. this is a display issue with the audiounit, we'll look at that. note that it should be fine with the vst version.

My brief experience setting up resonator effects in programming environment like Reaktor and such (even though that's just on the VPL level) is that an LFO signal would have to communicate with several aspects of the internal architecture at once; in the case of Moodal, having up to 100 resonators, modulation could very quickly become VERY CPU intensive. But who knows, if Tritik has a maverick engineer on staff they might be able to cook something up. However, I would rather see real-time MIDI pitch tracking before modulation, but that's just me

- 1000, not 100!

but you're right, that's mainly why there's no promises: we got to look not only at what users would like, but also at some architecture aspects and see what is possible, and what you guys can accept in term of cpu usage

OOPS. That's right, 1000 resonators DERP

I think there's room for improvement in the future WRT CPU usage. But changing things around on-the-fly like the resonators' frequencies might never be seamless.

Yep, same here in 32-bit. I thought it was part of the plugin, sort of a slow tremelo or filter sort of effect, which disappeared when selected "use fixed size buffers" in the plugin wrapper in FL Studio 12

Good to know I'm not the only one. But once the "fixed buffers" option is selected, all is gud

Ok guys, thanks for reporting this and for the workaround. Will have a look at that!

Yes, that sure is a problem. Damn CPUs!

It´s the same thing with Kaleidoscope, resonators are very hungry. Let´s hope for some developers magic.

Real-time MIDI pitch tracking would be great too!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who's fond of macomate.. the mutagene plugins had some great ideas behind them, shame indeed 'tis all abandonware.

Anyway, will be trying out Moodal, I also was surprised to find no audio demo.

Tritik releases Moodal
