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.
