JJazzLab ~ Generate Backing Tracks

Posted by tom2tec on

JJazzLab is a Midi-based application dedicated to backing tracks generation. You type in chord symbols, select a rhythm (style), then the application generates a complete backing track with drums, bass, guitar, piano, strings, etc.

The objective is to generate intelligent and interesting backing tracks, i.e tracks which are:

  • realistic
  • non-boring (with variations)
  • easily customizable, even for complex songs

IVGI ~ Saturation & Distortion

Posted by tom2tec on

IVGI can deliver very soft and subtle saturation, that feels at home on the master buss. It is equally capable of very dense and dirty distortion effects to spice up single tracks.

IVGI reacts dynamically to the input signal. Even the modeled fluctuations react dynamically and also change depending on the drive setting, so that it doesn’t get in the way of the SOUND. Stereo tracks benefit from it’s modeled crosstalk behavior.

IVGI features a Controlled Randomness, which determines the internal drift and variance inside the unit. It contributes to the liveliness and realness of IVGI’s saturation character. To achieve this, all internal processes are modulated to some extent.

IVGI gives you a sensible amount of controls to manipulate the character of the saturation itself. It offers a unique ASYM MIX knob to alter the symmetry of the signal without affecting the harmonic content much.

IVGI also lets you alter the frequency dependency of the saturation with the RESPONSE control.

MusicIP ~ Analyse Songs & Generate Playlists

Posted by tom2tec on

MusicIP is much more than a conventional Playlist Generator. MusicIP is a clever piece of software written in the 2000s that analyses and fingerprints your local music library to try to understand the makeup of each music track. So instead of endlessly scrolling through your library, trying to find something to listen to, you can simply select a track (the seed track) then based on MusicIPs understanding of your library, generate a playlist of tracks that blend together. This is far more than a genre based mix, as it will select tracks that are similar in composition.

MechVibes ~ Mechanical Keyboard & Typewriter Sounds

Posted by tom2tec on

Play mechanical keyboard sounds, typewriter sound as you type.

It’s a side project that I made for myself since when I use my own mechanical keyboard at late night or in the office and my parents and my coworkers hate that a lot because the sound of the keyboard is very loud (especially in quiet places). So if you are facing this issue just like me then this product is for you!

Plays typewriter sound. You can add more keyboard sound set by recording any sound you like and add them to this app with some easy steps. Use your laptop keyboard or non-mechanical keyboard at work and still hear your loved sound.

Use this app as any purpose as you want (such as demo for the buyer about the keyboard sound before they buy it, custom any sound for any key…)

With Mechvibes Editor, you can create a new sound pack, edit existing sound pack or share them with your friends.

Features:

  • Plays mechanical keyboard sounds as you type
  • Plays typewriter sound as you type
  • Create, edit, share your customized sound packs
  • Add existing sound packs from community
  • Help blind people type on their keyboard easier with voice pack
