Transport ~ Transport Info Display

Posted by tom2tec on

A handy little tool which provides all the information about measure, time, sample count etc that most hosts usually hide somewhere in a tiny little part of the screen. Transport is resizable and you can pick your own colours. Ideally, you’d drag it onto an external monitor in your 1000 square feet wooden studio and make it fullscreen so that your recording artists always stay oriented, but it works in smaller settings as well ;-). Made upon request by a DDMF user, we thought this gem is too good to not make it available for everybody. Transport is available as a 32 and 64 bit plugin in VST, RTAS, AAX (Win + Mac) and AU (Mac) format. MacOSX 10.6 is required.

Posted by tom2tec on

Transform a set of mp3 files into a virtual cassette and interact with it just like a real cassette.

Live again all that emotional load attached to the cassette format and the way you interacted with these gadgets: press play, rewind, fast forward and reverse the cassette tape. Concepts that do not exist anymore in modern media players in the same way, but they are still wired in your brain with the music you used to listen in the 70s, 80s and 90s and the places and people that were around you at those moments.

Play the music as you used to do it decades ago, and bring a piece of happiness from the past. Nostalgia ensured.

Features:
  • Simple controls: Play, pause, rewind, fast forward, stop, eject and master volume.
  • Customize cassette color and label aspect.
  • Create a cassette library with all your most appreciated music.
  • Edit cassette track list, adding, removing and reordering the audio files.
  • Support for mp3, aac, and all popular audio formats.
  • Because the music sounds better in the format in which you heard it for the first time.

ColourEQ ~ Super Parametric Equalization Plugin

Posted by tom2tec on

Not just another EQ: with its custom-made 4th order IIR filter, ColourEQ sounds unlike any other EQ you have ever come across. It comes with five bands of ”super parametric” peaking filters, which means that there is one more parameter in addition to the traditional gain/width/frequency set that can influence the curve shape. These shapes cannot be reproduced by ordinary IIR equalizers. Further features include: adjustable GUI colours, freely resizable window size, internal 64 bit processing and low CPU usage. Available in Windows VST (32/64 bit), Windows/Mac RTAS and Mac VST/AU format (Intel, OSX 10.5 and higher).

CP-GFX ~ Guitar Effect Processor

Posted by tom2tec on

CP-GFX is simply a Cross Platform Guitar Effect Processor. The aim of the project is to create an extensible and easy to use program which is easy to port to different platforms and operating systems. Currently in development are both Linux x86 and Win32 builds.

For the Linux build the primary audio API in use is JACK, which allows CP-GFX to work along side and with other programs, such as Ardour, or any other software using JACK without any fuss or problems.

ARTA ~ Audio Real Time Analysis

Posted by tom2tec on

A collection of programs for audio measurements and analysis in acoustical and communication systems. ARTA software uses standard and professional PC sound cards for audio signal acquisition and generation.

ARTA software consists of following programs:

ARTA – program for the impulse response measurement and for real-time spectrum analysis and frequency response measurements.
STEPS – program for frequency response measurements with stepped-sine excitation. Simultaneously with a frequency response measurement the program estimates levels of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and higher order harmonic distortions.
LIMP – program for the loudspeaker impedance measurement and loudspeaker parameters estimation.

ARTA has functions of the following measurement systems:
  • Signal generator of following signals: white noise, pink noise, periodic white noise, periodic pink noise, speech signal, sine, two sine, multitone, triangle, square.
  • Impulse response measurement system
  • Single and Dual channel Fourier analyzer
  • Spectrum, octave band and THD analyzer
  • Triggered storage scope
  • Two-channel voltage level meter and third octave analyzer

With a calibrated microphone, ARTA can be used as a virtual IEC class 1 SPL meter with real time modes:

  • Integrating SPL meter with 24 hours data logging,
  • Octave SPL meter with noise rating (NR, NC, PNC, RC,NCB),
  • Third octave SPL meter with report of specific loudness, loudness in sones and loudness level in phones.
 ARTA is also a powerful analyzer of:
  • Gated frequency response,
  • Smoothed frequency response (in 1/n-octave bands),
    Step response,
  • Impulse response envelope (ETC – curve),
  • Cumulative spectral decay waterfall graphs and sonogram,
  • Burst decay waterfall graphs and sonogram,
  • Energy decay in reverberant environments,
  • Room acoustical parameters,
  • Directivity patterns,
  • Speech intelligibility measures: MTF, STI, RASTI, %AL.
