So anyway, I got new toys uploaded. All AU universal binary. Here's what just went live:
http://store.kagi.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?storeID=6FEGJ_LIVE&&
Ambience: a whole bunch of carefully arranged delay taps configured with an eye to Haas effect and making the ambience warm and spatial. 'invisible ambience boost'. Same thing as K-Stereo only not the same arrangement of delays, and not stereo ;) the working-out of the delay tap arrangement goes down to something like -140 db for very high resolution ambience. You can get a slightly exaggerated effect in which you can hear a bit of the slapback, but at normal settings it's masked like it's supposed to be.
BassDrive: turns out the 'SansAmp Bass Driver' style of making bass tone isn't half bad. I took the liberty of putting in a mid control which fills in the midrange that the SansAmp automatically throws out. To get more of THAT tone, leave mid at zero always ;) this plug gets much mileage out of the idea of overdriven EQ bands, and I think it sounds awesome, even on my thuddy P-bass (need boutique bass for doing demos)
Compressor: FINALLY a color compressor that works the way people expect it to work! Very interactive attack and release controls produce all the effects people are hot to get out of channel compression. The whole 'attack sticky out, release gentle or slamming like distressor on nuke', it's all there. Now I see why people wanted this so bad, it's disgustingly much fun and easy to gratituously abuse :)
Glitch Shifter: Beware. Instead of becoming nice, I just made it into an audio chainsaw. I've got several people on a certain slutty site who are all excited about this- I can see that, I am enjoying it myself. I'm still trying to work out what people are trying to get from doubling that chorusing won't give you, I _have_ a really nice and well behaved chorus.
Pressure: yes an older one, but I have been revising it as I developed the other compressor. It gets a much bigger sound now, but still tends towards an old-school tubey non-channel type of thing which is more suited to mastering than slamming individual tracks.
Yay toys! Next I gotta get the Kagi page broken up into subcategories, because it's become ridiculous. There's 28 different plugs there... and the way Kagi makes the auto-generated page, they're arranged randomly :icon_eek:
