Sxratch v2.1

Virtual Scratcher
Specs:
-FILTER SECTION-
Resonance, High Freqs, Low Freqs
-SENSIVITY SECTION-
Start and End knobs: They set the range points where you want to scratch, useful to get more accurate scratching moves.
Accel: Acceleration or "torque" of the scratcher after you click then release over the scratching slider.
SMTH (Smoothing): Sets the smoothness of the scratch moves.
New!
Mute button: You can control sxratch muting using MIDI keyboard notes and also you can link this button to your hardware. (CC#30)
Mute response: Negative, positive muting response (muting or playing on note event) (CC#29)
-MAIN SECTION-
VOL: Sets the main volume.
PITCH: Sets the "speed" of the "record" (RESET button to reset knob to original pitch)
REW (Arrow near pitch knob): Plays the sound backwards.
-FILE SECTION-
FILE button: Click on it to load a *.wav file. (Sxratch works better with files shorter than 10 seconds)
Record button: It records the input signal, useful for live use, pick snippets from your band mates and scratch over that. :)

USAGE:
Important: You should extract the files from the zip with the exact same directory structure or sxratch will not find the default sample.
On FL Studio:
-Load Sxratch on an FX slot on the mixer, set MIDI in to port 1 (The scope and lower slider should be moving, if not try hitting CTRL+H, if it doesn0t work, you need to extract the files from the zip in the correct way)
-Load a MIDI out channel, set it to port 1
-Send audio to the FX where sxratch is loaded.
-Load a FILE or press the REC button to record something inside sxratch.
-Now play using your keyboard (the loop will sound) while moving the sxratch upmost slider.
On Cakewalk Sonar:
-Load an audio track, load Sxratch VSTi there.
-Load a MIDI track, select MIDI out to control Sxratch.
-Load a FILE or say something while pressing the REC button within sxratch.
-Now, to play, press any key on your MIDI kb while moving the slider.

Synodeia v1.0

Live sample triggering plugin.
Description:
"Synodeia" is a VST effect, but instead of processing the incoming signal, it can recognize pitches (frequencies) from a monophonic source and trigger samples depending on each tone.
"Synodeia" is a greek word and it means "Accompaniment". This plug-in is made specifically for live performances where a soloist can trigger samples while playing his instrument. This applies to voice and any other monophonic instrument.
Specs:
-12 recognizable frequencies (full 12 tone scale)
-12 *.wav players, user can load custom made samples.
-Lots of controls to fine tune each frequency, input volume and detection response.
-"Hints": no help needed, all is right there (just hover the mouse over controls)
-Equal temperament presets (Oct 0 to Oct 5)
-Comes in two versions "Synodeia.dll" (L-R out only) and "Synodeia m-o" (Multiple audio outs-12 stereo pairs)

Synodeia v2.0

Realtime audio to MIDI triggering plugin.
Description:
"Synodeia" is a VST effect, but instead of processing the incoming signal, it can recognize pitches (frequencies) from a monophonic source and sends MIDI out messages, so you can control any VST or MIDI device using your voice for example.
"Synodeia" is a greek word and it means "Accompaniment". This plug-in is made specifically for live performances where a soloist can trigger samples while playing his instrument. This applies to voice and any other monophonic instrument.
Sinodeia 2, because its nature,is very light on the CPU, instead of it's lil brother, sample player version Synodeia v1.
Specs:
- Octave shift
- Sine tone for testing, measuring purposes. (Sine tone and tone decay time)
- Input volume, Accuracy control and incoming signal monitoring (bypass)
- MIDI output messages monitor.
- The zip package contains an "Fmin chords" soundfont for you to test singing while synodeia does the accompaniment.

Usage:
On FL Studio:
-Load Synodeia2 on any mixer channel, set an output MIDI port (1 for example) (you can get to the MIDI out port option by pressing the leftmost icon on the plugin window and switching to "MIDI output port")
-Load any VST you want (suggest you to try with the provided Fmin chords sounfont, is very entertaining) set its MIDI input to the same port (1)
-Connect an external signal to the mixer channel where synodeia2 is loaded. (example a mic, your voice)
Now, sing and you should be triggering MIDI notes, watch the MIDI monitor.
On Cakewalk Sonar:
-Load synodeia2 on an audio track
-Load a VSTi just after synodeia2
-Click on teh red R, and start singing.

Known issues:
- Synodeia2 doesn't recognize legatto lines yet. It's internal configuration makes it impossible at this time, I'm still searching for a solution though, that and a way to make glissando too. Meanwhile be sure to leave al least a little space between notes so synodeia can recognize the peak information and trigger a new MIDI message.

Daft Funk v1.0 (currently in beta status)

Quick note: The name of this plug is actually a mistake, daft funk was conceived as the typical effect in the build up moment in that famous FatBoySlim song "The Rockefeller Skank" ..my sincere apologies....but in the other hand, the plug will keep the name "Daft Funk", the reason? there's a nice plug called "PhutBoy Slim" and for obvious reasons I can't use a similar name.
Glitch accelerator.
Specs:
- X-Y panel: X controls speed, Y controls LowPass Filter and volumen optionally.
- Mode: "Pitched" means the wave will be resampled as speed is beeing modulated. "Grainy" means the wave will not change pitch but the grains will change size as speed is beeing modulated.
- Sync mode: "BPM" or "Free"
- Note subdivision selector.
- Y->Vol (Y value to Volume) button.
- Zero - X: Useful only in "Grainy" mode, this parameter is useful to avoid clicks, but if you want to go very fast you better untick this option, otherwise you'll hear an artifact in where the pitch transitions aren't smooth on very high frequencies.
- X and Y spring buttons: Enable disable spring release on them.
- Smooth knob: This smooths out the X and Y values, high values result on slow response to quick movements, useful to make slow sweeps such as on one Daft Punk famous song.
- Grain size knob: When in "Free" mode (opposed to BPM) you can specify the grain size here.
Audio examples:
Grainy Mode (mp3)
Pitched Mode (mp3)
KNOW ISSUES: For some reason, when you record automation, Daft Funk exhibits different bugs including 1) Not producing any sound 2) Not moving as expected...I'm truly sorry about this and I want to let you know that I'm still working to fix these issues.
