Zynaptiq Adaptiverb released

[Sampleconstruct]

But why yellow, instant eye cancer...

just making it obvious to read on a dark blue ground...

I see, well here it's eye piercing yellow on a creamy background, unreadable

Here's an Adaptiverb being excited by a harpsichord. there is a lot of processing and other reverbs layered with it.

As i, for one, can notice, Adaptiverb somehow fails here to render the timbre of such a bright instrument accurately

I easily assume though that instrument with less harmonic content, like electric pianos for instance, might blend way more easily on that respect...

would be interesting to hear how it behaves with inharmonic instruments, most percussions for instance !

I am manipulating both the tone of the harpsichord and the tone of AV. The harpsichord has a little roll-of on the top end. I am using AV's parameters to control the over-all tone of AV. It's not like other reverbs where you have an pre- and post- EQ - The tone control in AV can also happen via manipulating the way the resysthesis happens as well as the harmonic filtering. This is why AV is not rendering the texture of the harpsichord, like other more typical reverbs would.

It's funny you should mention what would AV sound like with percussion. I just posted this. It's drumming into AV. I an manipulating AV's parameters in real-time (and recorded to automation). Then, all through a limiter to keep from clipping. no other processing.

@zynaptiq / Denis: mind giving us a clue on Wormhole release date? Didn't want to start a new thread for that (yet!)

Can't wait to try it now that I have Adaptiverb!! Exited like a little girl in a barbie aisle

Really nice !

Are the ilok problems totally solved ?

Yes

Yes

Cool. I'm going to install the demo

[zynaptiq]

for use of any western music, it is perfect, perhaps zynaptiq might consider also other types of (ethnic ?) scales in the future ?

- it has some chances to make sense for it sales, IMO, but i can be wrong...

Actually, except for the KYBD mode of the HCF and the semitone quantization in the first third of the SIMPLIFY control, nothing in ADAPTIVERB imposes equal tempered scale. The bionic sustain synth and the HCF track mode work with whatever frequencies are contained in your audio, so no issues with reference tunings or grids.

Responding to your other post – no, it's not resonators, as resonators have a static frequency (which is where such a grid could come in to play). The sustain synth's oscillators track frequency, level and phase, which makes it so accurate and as a result organic sounding.You are spot on though with the point that we're not doing classic room-modeling reverberation

Actually, this is directly related to the fact that ADAPTIVERB loves sustained components as Simon correctly observed. In most instruments, higher harmonics decay faster, thus being "less sustained", thus being less prominent in the sustain synth's output. You can combat that to some extent with AIR and some compression, or adding some RICHNESS with the +octave setting (depends on the signal though how well that approach works).

Also, the HCF has a tendency towards getting rid of treble more quickly than mids. Use positive WEIGHTING to reduce that effect, and maybe add some BREATHINESS.

That said, I personally love the sound when it's nice and dark, leaves more space for other sounds to be crisp-and-in-your-face.

I love all the great sound examples BTW

I was thinking...maybe it'd be cool to post a sound cloud player/playlist on our site with these great examples in it? We'd certainly love to show the world what you guys have come up with using AV...

[zynaptiq]

What host is that BTW, and which version? I'm assuming you're on Win XP?

I have the same problem on both (presonus studio one 2) and (image-line fl studio 10).

And i am still on windows xp.

Did you see my other reply though? This one:

What I'm thinking is that maybe you're hitting FREEZE when there's no input, and the fact that you're hearing "frozen" audio is because maybe you have SUSTAIN at max, or the Ray Trace verb on and SIZE at max? Those two are not in the preset, but would keep the sound going infinitely, too – even if the actual FREEZE buffer is empty because you hit FREEZE during silence.

The FREEZE function freezes the INPUT, not the content of the reverb/sustain.

The way to check this is:

1) set sustain to minimum, and reverb size (if in ray trace mode) to any value that is not near the max; for simplicity, set it to minimum.

2) set REVERB SOURCE to 50/50

3) hit FREEZE while you're hearing audio in the DRY path

4) you should now hear frozen audio coming from the FREEZE function.

Save this. Load the preset. Is it playing now? If not, load while playing back audio (specifically: while the input is NOT silent). Is it playing now?

Layered three instances of Adaptiverb using Sends for Extra Richness - bcos why not??
Center - Basic Hall Preset
Slight Right - Random Preset w Octave up
Slight Left - Harmonic Stack Fourth

got the Demo today, playing with it the whole day, Brilliant Extraordinary Stuff

Some info for Logic users: As the busses in Logic are not latency-compensated, disabling the latency compensation inside Adaptiverb will not have the desired effect. If you want to use that feature, insert the plugin directly on an instrument track.

I am fine with that,if you want to repost my tracks to yours thats great. or if otherwise, let me know.
