If you wait a while there will be a new more advanced version of TubeDrive included in the next kX version.

For now, if you have kX 3538a visit:

Tiger M · Nov 11, 2004, 06:11 PM

The sound is more important though

isuru · Nov 11, 2004, 08:03 PM

thanks for all your replies

Tiger M · Nov 11, 2004, 08:23 PM

You should right-click and select Save Target As

ROBSCIX · Nov 11, 2004, 09:46 PM

Tiger M · Nov 12, 2004, 10:42 AM

isuru · Nov 12, 2004, 10:57 AM

K i've downloaded it..
but when i try to register it, i get the following error message:

"Error: Invalid plugin library"

Tiger M · Nov 12, 2004, 04:32 PM

Do you have kX 3538a? I explicitly pointed out a few posts above that you must have kX 3538a to run it.

isuru · Nov 12, 2004, 07:21 PM

sorry, my bad. I thought I had 3538a installed. Anyway - everythings working great now. This thing is sweet!

Thanks alot for ya help, tiger!

thanks

here's a simple one. for less distortion use lower values for "e"

Code:

 
(header)...
 
input in
output out
static e=0x7
control vol=0.5
temp t
 
log t,in,e,0
macs out,0,t,vol
 
end

ROBSCIX · Jul 18, 2005, 08:26 PM

Thanks for the code, Give me something to play with..wwould you mind explaining how it works to me? I am gonna use this plugin as a starting point to my eductaion in plugins....Thx for the info

How can this be changed to make 'e' a variable slider (when 'tweaked')

TIA

Well the range for the 'Max_exponent' parameter of the Log instruction is 1 to 31, so you could make 'e' a control, and then use the interp instruction to scale the value.

Something like this:

input in
output out
control e=0x19000000
control vol=0.5
temp t1, t2

interp t1, 0x1, e, 0x20
log t2, in, t1, 0
macs out, 0, t2, vol

That's bad, thanks for the information

Hello everyone!

I've installed kxDriver 3539, and i tried to use the build-in EFX TubeDrive, but i can't get it working. The problem is, that i don't know where to connect the TubeDrive in the DSP window. could someone please post a pic on how to do it?
I want my line-in to be processed through the TubeDrive and output to frontL/R

thx in advance

Maddogg6 · Aug 4, 2008, 05:04 PM

'feed you a fish and you eat for a day, teach you to fish and you will never starve'
or how ever that goes...

I suggest reading up on the kX DSP.
No, its not because I am *that* lazy (or a jerk), its mostly because, well, your circumstances are different than mine, (I can only assume you're connecting a guitar to line in, and maybe using a guitar pre-amp, and my guitar pre-amp output levels are likely different than your, for instance)
Good info (and ProFx plugins to get too)
Lex Nahumury's kX Project Support Site

Lex's example page here:
Example DSP setups using the ProFX plugins:

Shows how to make a Guitar processor chain in detail from a cleared DSP.
Once you understand what is going on - you can make your own custom DSP to suite *your* needs - an not have to try to tweak one that suited some one elses needs.

I'll be glad to help, just ask specific questions about something you don't understand from the tutorials.

More reading in the kX help file about the DSP too..

nurbs999 · Aug 4, 2008, 05:24 PM

great! thanks for the links! i'll try to build my own DSP-chain.
yes, i've connected the guitar to line-in, but without a pre-amp.
