spectral analysis

spectral analysis

2001-12-20 by spaceanimals

Cool Edit Pro has some cool spectral analysis plug ins. I played a 
few AN1X patches to analyse them. Wow. I didn't realize an instrument 
could do that. The results resemble alien landscapes more than 
musical instrument sounds. A really wide range of frequencies.FM and 
osc sync seem to generate the weirdest patterns, but the filter 
shifts are pretty cool too.

Man...really? Can you point me to the plug-ins? I know EXACTLY what you mean...I have a screen shot of this on my PC at work as background....is is Steinburg, but I didn't know it was supported in Cool Edit also...

Please let me know where I can get it!

Jim

Funny. I just started doing that a month ago. (Great minds?) A friend 
sent me a short cut to some excellent freeware which includes a 
spectral analyzer, and oscilloscope. People who don't have cool edit 
pro may enjoy them. You can find them here:

http://www.mda-vst.com/

You may have to click on "utilities". The file is called wave tools.

I have been using these to examine the raw waveforms of the AN1x. 
(LPF wide open) It has really helped my programming. For example, I 
now use a technique to build a saw wave out of a pulse and a saw. I 
put the saw an octave above the pulse. And I reduce the volume of the 
saw wave to about 66% of the pulse (because of the way the overtone 
series diminishes in volume as you go up). The disadvantage of doing 
this is the inability to use oscillator detune for chorusing the way 
you do with typically stacked oscillators. But there are other ways 
of getting that chorused sound. The advantage of the "build your own 
waveform" is that you can play with the intervals and volumes and 
realy get a different character out of the synth. 

The lead patch I have promised the tutorial on does this. I have to 
go back and re-write it step-by step however... in the tutorial form. 
I still don't know if I can get to it easily from a 130 init. Still 
working on it.

Cheers,

Jerry

I don't know if this is worth mentioning, But Cubase VST5.1r1 now ships 
with some mda plugins built in, I didn't notice the Spectral or the 
Oscilloscope, but I'll have a proper look later on.

Definitely worth mentioning! mda Plug-ins are tops - and they're 
cross platform too! There's like, what?, seven sets of VST FXs 
and four free VSTi's? Can't argue with that. I believe the only 
difference between the Cubase v5 versions and the freeware 
versions at his site are the improved GUI.

The JX10 is probably my favorite freeware VSTi - the DX10 is 
also cool. I think there is/was an interview with the programmer  
responsible for them at Bluelife Audio 
http://www.bluelifeaudio.com/

Jon

Glad I mentioned them then :-)

I am using one of them at the moment, it is the phatsync or Autopole, I 
can't remember which, but it does some easy to use filtering of audio 
signals which is coo, it's gui is a bit like a filter/Res arpeggio unit.

I checked out the site (and it is an interesting site!) but I couldn't find the plug in for Cool Edit Pro that was spectrum analysis...can you give me a hint on where to find it?

THanks
