Digits

Post

You read my mind. I stumbled on a fun little feature, that Phase84 used inside the tabletop app allows you to record all the automation and also preset changes. You can make some glitchy, clicky nightmares pretty fast, and crash the ipad! Which brings me to another question for you guys. Any good, free, click removing plugs out there? The waves plugs are the best I've tried so far.
Here's what came of a few evenings with it on ipad, which cannot be entered.

Oh, that's pretty amazing, op! Somehow in my morning brains I skipped over the ipad part. It sounds hardly like Digits except on a few sounds, which speaks for your ingenuity and how much productive fun one can have with an ipad...who knew! ;) :hihi: ...really cool! 8-)

Digits 2.1 for Linux released. No gui though.

Can you run it ? It fails here in Bitwig 1.3.13 on Fedora 21 due to a versioned dependency.

Code: Select all

$ ldd DigitsVST_32.so 
./DigitsVST_32.so: /lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./DigitsVST_32.so)

Code: Select all

$ ldd DigitsVST_64.so 
./DigitsVST_64.so: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./DigitsVST_64.so)
Sigh.

Best,

Sounding neat. Sorry I haven't used any click removal plugins (and a quick search seems to indicate there aren't many free ones), but you can always go in and automate volume at the clicks.

Post

Or if those clicks are at the very beginning of the sound you can try compression with very fast attack and somewhat slower release. I did that for some of the sounds. Flux also have a free transient tool which can work both ways. Either amplify the transient or attenuate it.

Have only run it in carla. It worked.
I'm on Mint 18 == Ubuntu 16.04

For now I'll keep working with the wine version. Works well.

Has somebody noticed preset changes after reloading a project, especially something like GAIN being put back to default?!

I thought there was something crazy going on :?, things sometimes sounding different upon a reload. In my case, I couldn't put my finger on what exactly was changing, as it was something like this in some single layer of a layered sound, subtle enough that I figured I'll pinpoint it later. It's absolutely noticeable, though. Is it always the same parameter that is changing, or is it semi-random? The synth has been consistent enough for this not to be a huge problem, but it's slightly worrisome :P

Post

Now that I think about it, currently I must have VERY few sounds in there that I've adjusted the synth's internal gain in, actually. Have you noticed for certain that this happens with some other specific parameter?

Post

Yeah, it's super weird. I can't quite tell, if it is Digits or space360 that messes around. I have to make it a habit to somehow make notes of all settings, I guess. Sounds ridiculous to me, but well... vst offers a breeding ground for mess-ups. :(

Fortunately it's only one sound that sticks out like a sore thumb and I've managed to wrestle it somewhat back into place, but it sure is scary. Again, might not be Digits. :shrug: ...that's why I was asking.

Post

Yeah, it's interesting, as this is exactly the vibe I've had with this synth. As if something can change upon reload, and on the other hand it's mostly totally predictable and consistent. Wanted to know if you know for certain there's a parameter that causes this :D

Post

Yeah, I only know for certain that the interface doesn't update properly for several toggles (cos|sin and reset for example). It's really tricky sometimes. But the sound really does surprise me. It's as if extra challenges create extra interesting results. 8-)

Worst part of Digits are really, really the envelopes. Never mind the clipping/distorting FAT option or weak anti-aliasing for high frequencies, but the envelopes are really unfortunate. It's almost impossible to get any steep slopes or even softly ramp to 0 and it loves to click for sure. :dog:
...still it's way friendlier than Mantra Evo back then, hahahaha, and much more conventional, too, in a good way. Just quality troubles all over.
