Plugin request (SPL "Burp" Button)

BenOBS · Jan 11, 2007, 09:20 PM

Hi all,

I have a little request for a plugin derivated from the wave generator that would be very usefull to me in DBDrag contest.

The main idea is a plugin that lets you:
Select a frequancy (From 20 to 200hz whit a .1 hz scale would be cool)
Set a gain
Set a duration

It should also have a bouton to launch the whole thing.

The triky part is about the signal generated, it must avoid any tic or pop at the beginning and at the end of the "burp" (because amplifiers are tuned to give there maximum output). Maybe a fast but progressive gain + and - at the beginning and at the end can avoid this?...

So, any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

why dont you just use adobe audition to generate a wavefile...

BenOBS · Jan 14, 2007, 04:31 AM

because it would take lot of wave file to have all X.1hz ...

But if a plugin is possible, ill do this...

you wouldnt have to save the wavefile, just generate them on the fly with audition, idk how 'fast' you need your files though...

But, does a plugin that do it is very complicated to do?

no.

It can be done easily.
Take a look at the programming guide on the kX web site.

Alternatively you can use any free VST synth.

Here is example code you can use. It will pulse whatever is input to it for the specified amount of time (so you can use whatever you want as the source audio (i.e. Wave Generator 3, or whatever)). It is Dane only code, so it is not as user friendly as you might like, but it means that it can used/modified by anyone, without having to worry about recompiling it, etc). It does not include a Gain control (it is easy enough to add one), since it does not generate any audio on it's own (Wave Generator has its own Gain control, and there is also the GainHQ plugin that can be used for this).

Here is the code:

Code:

; New microcode
    name "Burp";
    copyright "Copyright (c) 2006.";
    created "01/21/2007";
    engine "kX";
    ; comment "";
    guid "cbd40512-df3e-4902-9e07-f799c4057a4f";
    ; -- generated GUID  

; itramsize 0
; xtramsize 0   
input in
output out
static time=48000;
static counter=0;
static reset=0;
static xtime=0;    
static volume=0;
static smooth=0.01;  

; code                      
macints xtime, 0x0, time, reset;
andxor 0x0, counter, 0xffffffff, xtime;  
skip ccr, ccr, 0x8, 0x3; 
acc3 counter, counter, 0x1, 0x0;  
interp  volume, volume, smooth, 0x7fffffff
skip ccr, ccr, 0x7fffffff, 0x3; 
macs reset, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0;  
macs counter, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0; 
interp  volume, volume, smooth, 0x0;
macs out, 0x0, in, volume;

end

Copy and paste the above code into a new text file and save as "Burp.da".
*** A blank line is needed after the "end" statement ***

Time is seconds multipled by 48000 (default time is 1 second, change it to whatever you want the default time to be).

Usage:
Load plugin.
Connect audio source to input, and connect output to desired speaker connection. Take note of the plugin_ID assigned to it (the number in square brakets (if you do not see it, hold the mouse cursor over the plugin until the tooltip pops up)).
When you want to send a pulse, open up kX Console and type the following command:
sg [plugin_ID] 8003 1
i.e. (if the plugin_ID is 8)
sg 8 8003 1

You can also change the time value from kX Console (probably easier then editing the code everytime you want to make a temporary change), by using the same command as above but replace 8003 with 8001, and 1 with the wanted time value (in hexadecimal).
i.e.
To change the time to 5 seconds (if plugin_ID is 8) from the console.
-- 5 seconds * 48000 = 240,000 (3A980 hex)
sg 8 8001 3A980

BTW: The 'sg [plugin_ID] 8003 1' instruction can also be used as a time multiplier (provided that the total time (time * multipler) does not exceed the max value of 2147483647), by changing '1' to the desired time multiplier.
i.e.
Another way to change the time to 5 seconds (when 'time' value is the default of 1 second (with a plugin_ID of 8)) and send the pulse immediatley:
sg 8 8003 5
