Oh hey Steve! Those are your plugins! Many of them are
real cool. I LOVE
foldover distortion. I wanted to make one but couldn't find out how it
works. Reason has foldover distortion, so I studied the knobs on it and
tried to imagine the algorithm behind it.
It's very simple, just a polynomial sin aproximation used as a waveshaper.
I also love Giant Flange. That box is wacko!
Good :) it was an accident, I was trying to implement the dj flanger from a
description and misunderstood. I left it in there as I'd allready built
it.
How did you learn all those algorithms? Before I
discovered these
Most of the tricks come from papers, but much of it is pretty obvious,
once you know the basics. Oh, and a lot of trial and error :/
The music-dsp mailing list is a good source of expert advice.
