curious if there’s anything known about new plugin from madrona labs (called virta). the only thing i know is that this thing needs input and i can’t wait to try it with aleph.

having realtime input is gonna make this a gamechanger

from ml forum:

Well, audio input and frequency analysis of said audio, and of course an envelope follower, will be available in the patcher. So you can make audio-controlled synths or effects with it. You could even patch up something like a de-esser. But it’s definitely more a creative tool than for utility effects.

Visually, it will be a lot like Aalto and Kaivo because I think that’s a good interface to stay with for now.

Fuckin’ A. ANOTHER plugin from Madrona?!
Can’t freqin resist any of them so far

Well, hey, lemme consolidate some other things in relation to Madrona in this thread:
-Here’s a great article on Bob Ostertag who loves his Aalto synth to replace his older analog synths in order to become ridiculously portable these days:

…and if any of you could download and then whenever the Madrona forums thread below bumps up again with another request, upload yet another download link, i’d be most appreciative as would others… if anyone here is interested or pays attention there… i’ll also try to keep up more often… uh… i think…:

So this is Randy’s take on the phase vocoder with added complex oscillator madness? Fantastic!

randy · 2015-10-03T00:34:41.925Z

oh hai.

not the phase vocoder so much, it will have vocoders but I’m focusing on a more analog sound.

The starting point is the feel of putting things through the MS20 pitch tracker, always a favorite. Kind of wonky and a great inspiration generator.

A fun game might be to look at the above diagram and imagine some cool patches. The design is pretty much finished, but if there are any especially great patches that are just missing a certain input or output, the next couple of weeks is definitely the time to let me know!
