http://blue.kunstmusik.com Latest Instrument on blueShare en-US The TimbreModule is intended to be used as an amplitude depending timbre coloring of the incoming signal. The louder (or softer) the amplitude of the incoming, the resonance intensity increases. Idea is to add some viability to the Instrument. Choices are to add some Parametric EQ and/or a Treble cutoff. --- version 1, May 2023 - initial version Mon, 08 May 2023 18:14:31 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/291 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/291 2Mod4 1/2 consists of 2 Low Frequency Modulators, where Modulator 2 works on Modulator 1. Modulator 2 can be set to OFF. Several wave types can be selected. The 7th wave type allows to quickly set the this Modulator to a steady signal- some kind of "pause" if you will. All can be changed in realtime. The 2 Modulators can be mixed and so more complex wave patterns occur. 2Mod4 1/2 is the first part of 2; here, the 4 outputs can be switched on, while 2Mod4 2/2 splits these 4 outputs into one in phase, and another that is out of phase. As the phase and out of phase modulators do follow the same modulation values, the out of phase one can get its own offset. This Instrument has 4 possible outputs. 1. ADD - both modulators added together, or Modulator1 only 2. MAX - both modulators added together but only the maximal values are given 3. MIN - both modulators added together but only the minimal values are given 4. MULT - both modulators multiplied. For this to happen, both Modulators needs to be activated. Some extra coding inside the target Instrument is needed. 2Mod4 2/2 produces k-rate modulations, (or when resolution is set, at a-rate) but if i-rate is needed, a conversion inside the target instrument must be implemented. Scaling must be done in the target Instrument. ALL SCALING AND ADDING AN OFFSET TO THE PRODUCED VALUES MUST BE DONE IN THE TARGET INSTRUMENT ITSELF. 2Mod4 only produces values between -1....1. Any offset or scaling back to values between 0...1 must be done in the target Instr. To save CPU, only select the outputs you need! --- version 1, April 2023 - initial version Wed, 26 Apr 2023 18:21:06 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/289 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/289 DESCRIPTION: 2Mod4 2/2 Module is the second half of the Modulator system, the other one is called 2Mod4 1/2. This Module gets up to 4 modulations at k-rate from 2Mod4 1/2. - kADDITION, kADDPHASE and iADDPHASE is derived from the ADD channel - kMAXIMUM, kMAXPHASE and iMAXPHASE is derived from the MAX channel - kMINIMUM, kMINPHASE and iMINPHASE is derived from the MIN channel - kMULTIPLY, kMULTIPHASE and iMULTPHASE is derived from the MULT channel They are at k-rate, k-rate but inverted phase, and i-rate respectively. These modulated signals can be used to manipulate frequencies or amplitudes of the opcodes, or effects like filters in the instrument, and everything that you want to modulate. --- version 1, April 2023 - initial version Wed, 26 Apr 2023 18:21:01 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/288 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/288 DESCRIPTION: Stretcher is a sampler for mono and stereo samples. It is capable of stretching the sample in realtime. Or plays them in reverse. Attention: by activating the filter, also the filter envelope drawings become available. In Midi Pitch mode, Midi C4 = normal pitch of sample In Frequency mode, frequency note 8.00 = normal pitch of sample Also, real values can be used. note example: i2 0 0.8 60 1.0 ; P4 = midi value, P5 = amplitude i2 0 0.2 261.625565 1.0 ; P4 = frequency, P5 = amplitude i2 0 0.2 1 1.0 ; P4 = real value, P5 = amplitude CONTROLLERS: see the help balloon when hovering over the controllers in the instrument. Help can be turned off by pressing the 'I' button next to the play bar. --- version 2, February 2023 - initial version Sun, 12 Feb 2023 13:04:28 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/284 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/284 This Instrument creates 2 Low Frequency Oscilators: 1 normal and 1 phaase inverted. 1 or 2 modules can be activated. They are then mixed, so more comples modulations are possible. Example: the normal output modulates the amplitude of 1 instrument, and the phase inverted one the amplitude of a 2nd instrument. Result is that one gets louder, the other gets softer in the same speed. 2OutputModulator uses the Global variable system to send the LFO signals to different instruments. In the instruments to be modulated, code must be added. Following the example above, for amplitude for the first instrument: blueMixerOut asigL * gkModulate, asigR * gkModulate for the second instrument: blueMixerOut asigL * gkModulate_inverse, asigR * gkModulate_inverse --- version 1.2, December 2022 - initial version Fri, 16 Dec 2022 14:14:30 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/283 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/283 DESCRIPTION: This instrument controls the Mixer faders of the DAW Reaper. The code for this AlwaysOn instrument can be found in the Always-On Instrument Text. As an AlwaysOn instrument, it is always on :-) So wherever you are on the Timeline, this instrument is active and the faders can be used to make a mix or change 12 Tracks of Reaper. If Blue and Reaper are running on the same computer, you can use one of these IP addresses: localhost or 127.0.0.1 Be sure to choose another Port than 8000 as this Port is used by default by Blue to receive OSC messages. There is a complementary SoundObject in BlueShare called REAPER OSC command, that allows sending static OSC commands to Reaper, in order to Play or Stop the playback head of Reaper. Several SoundObjects must be placed on the TimeLine, providing Reaper with the rigth static commands. --- version 1.0, November 2021 - initial version version 1.1, January 2022 - added Playrate Sat, 01 Jan 2022 14:45:25 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/282 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/282 DESCRIPTION: SFloop loads a Soundfont but does not use any of the transformations and modulations as is embedded in Soundfonts, like looping points, reverb or chorus. You have to set your own looping points here- allowing for new 'sounds' on the existing and well-known samples like piano, banjo, guitar etc. where p4 = frequency or Midi Pitch, p5 = amplitude. For more info: https://github.com/kunstmusik/blue/wiki/Fond-of-Soundfont Reason for this instrument is to have easy acces to those well-known acoustical musical instruments but with different, changeable loop points and interesting transformation options. It makes the well-known and mostly harmonic sounds "only" basic material to start from. Note: Big SoundFonts (> 100MB)take a while to load and play. note example: i2 0 0.8 60 1.0 ; P4 = midi value, P5 = amplitude i2 0 0.2 261.625565 1.0 ; P4 = frequency, P5 = amplitude CONTROLLERS: see the help balloon when hovering over the controllers in the instrument. Help can be turned off by pressing the 'I' button next to the play bar. --- version 3.2, December 2020 - added color option, for accessing a sample on a different key version 3.1, November 2020 - added tremolo envelope version 2.1, October 2020 - againbig overhaul: new filters - filters have amplitude or frequency/pitch followers (exponentially) - checkbox for P4 = frequency or MidiPitch - 2 types of filter envelopes, can be mixed version 2.0, July 2020 - big changes: new vibrato, new dynamics, version 1, September 2019 - built with XlooperSolo as a template Thu, 03 Dec 2020 17:01:36 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/280 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/280 DESCRIPTION: SFplayer, based on the splay3 opcode, loads a Soundfont and plays the presets of a SoundFont. It does not use any of the transformations like internal modulations, reverb or chorus as embedde in the preset of the SoundFont, but does however respect the start and end loop points of the Soundfonts' preset. SFplayer is suited for use in microtonal compositions; for instance, the PianoRoll Object can contain an arbitrary tone scale, SFplayer will follow the notes nicely when microtuned. SFplayer can take midi note numbers as entries for p4, but also frequencies. A PianoRoll for example, must be set to Pch Generation --> MIDI or Pch Generation --> Frequency. P5 should be set to values 0 - 1. Reason for this instrument is my wish to have easy acces to (acoustic) musical instruments but with different and interesting transformation options and microtonality. This makes the well-known and mostly harmonic sounds a basic material, to start molding new sounds with an already acoustical property. Note: Big SoundFonts (> 100MB)take a while to load and play. note example: i2 0 0.8 60 1.0 ; P4 = midi value, P5 = amplitude i2 0 0.2 261.625565 1.0 ; P4 = frequency, P5 = amplitude CONTROLLERS: see the help balloon when hovering over the controllers in the instrument. Help can be turned off by pressing the 'I' button next to the play bar. --- version 3.1, December 2020 - added color option, for accessing a sample on a different key - added tremolo envelope version 3.0, October 2020 - big overhaul: new filters - filters have amplitude or frequency/pitch followers (exponentially) - switch for P4 = frequency or MidiPitch - 2 types of filter envelopes, can be mixed - optional Score Module version 2.0, July 2020 - big changes in: dynamics, vibrato, version 1.1, August 2019 - added Show Midi Key, so you know what keys are hit and adjust the range of the preset accordingly - added Depth slider for filters version 1, August 2019 - first version- that's why i call it version 1 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 16:59:01 +0000 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/279 http://blue.kunstmusik.com/instruments/show_instrument/279 DESCRIPTION: SFinst, based on the sfinstr3 opcode, loads the instruments of a Soundfont. So it does NOT use the Presets of the Soundfont, but the instruments the Presets are made of. SFinst is suited for use in microtonal compositions; for instance, the PianoRoll Object can contain an arbitrary tone scale, SFinst will follow the notes nicely when microtuned. SFinst can use midi note numbers as entries for p4, but also frequencies. Set the parameter 'scoreP4' accordingly. A PianoRoll for example, must be set to Pch Generation --> Frequency (and not the Midi note pitch), while a PianoRoll using the familiar 12TET set Pch Generation --> MIDI. Or use the AL. Velocity (= p5) is from 0 - 1, but scaled to 0-127 according to the SF expectency. It then follows the normal Soundfont/midi protocol. Reason for this instrument is to have easy acces to those well-known acoustical musical instruments but with different and interesting transformation options and microtonality. That makes the well-known and mostly harmonic sounds "only" basic material to start molding new sounds with an already acoustal property. ATTENTION: SoundFont Presets can be made of stereo samples. According to SF Protocol, these samples are divided over 2 mono Instruments, each with its own number. This means that if you select an Instrument, you load only the Left channel or the Right channel if it is part of a stereo sample. There is a checkbox that makes the mono sound a pseudostereo sound by panning the notes freely over the stereo image. note example: i2 0 0.8 60 1.0 ; P4 = midi value, P5 = amplitude i2 0 0.2 261.625565 1.0 ; P4 = frequency, P5 = amplitude CONTROLLERS: see the help balloon when hovering over the controllers in the instrument.

It can loop at any arbirary points, the loop points can be changed while playing. A fade time should is a guarantee (most of the times) for clickless loops. Attention: by activating the filter, also the filter envelope drawings become available. In Midi Pitch mode, Midi C4 = normal pitch of sample In Frequency mode, frequency note 8.00 = normal pitch of sample note example: i2 0 0.8 60 1.0 ; P4 = midi value, P5 = amplitude i2 0 0.2 261.625565 1.0 ; P4 = frequency, P5 = amplitude CONTROLLERS: see the help balloon when hovering over the controllers in the instrument.
