Graphic EQ

[mute]

great machines bigyo, thanks again ;]

[Evelon]

I really really like these EQs! Simple and to the point. Using these, I remembered how much I miss graphic EQs (both hardware and software) after using parametric EQs so much lately.

I have one (maybe small) request - is it possible to make an on/off (bypass) parameter, maybe at the top of the parameter list?
I'm an old hardware sound engineer guy, and I used to A/B the sound (studio recording and live) quite often to reference whenever I was totally off (or spot on) from the original sound source. The ability to quickly check the bypassed sound is something that I miss quite often. I know that loudness comes into play here, but referencing is very nice.

there is bypass in new buzz, right-click the machine

[Evelon]

I know that. I just wanted a quicker way inside the parameter view, while fiddling with the EQ.
nm then.

you can make your own bypass button anywhere you like.
it should also be possible to put it in the parameter window.
i use the bypass function for each effect as a button in my theme also.

i think wet/dry is not a good idea for EQ, since it has non-linear phase

This is correct. Let's say you boost a frequency band by 10 dB, and you think it's too much and only want half as much, you should simply just boost 5 dB instead.

If you mix the boosted signal with the dry, you'll get a weird fuzzy bad sound because of the changed phase. A bit like a phaser in a fixed position. So here's a production tip: Never mix dry and wet signal of EQs or lowpass/highpass filter. It usually doesn't sound good.

A did an experiment to describe the problem. There's also a link to a super nerdy wikipedia article on the subject, but I doubt very many people will understand that.

speaking of phase. do we even have a native 0 phase effect? those are actually pretty hard to comeby, even in vsts

I know you are just trying to be nice...

so..can you post the code? (I don't even know how to code, or what software to use to code it. I would really like to know though, as I have tons of great [imho] ideas)

[strobotone]

sure, i will help you with that as soon as i have time.

btw. every function you can use from the context menu (mute/solo/bypass etc) is bound to a parameter as you can see in the xaml files.
so you can use the same and bind it to something like a button.
there is no real coding involved. just grab an editor like notepad++.

[Evelon]

Very much appreciated. Thanks! I'll look up NotePad++.

Sidenote: is there a graphic/WYSIWYG software to use for editing themes, etc? I'd like to contribute as much as possible, but I suck at all this coding. My background is more graphic/design (which I also studied).

[Buzztler]

Sorry only me, just wanted to say u studied the right thing EVELON. I like your themes so far and also the splash screens for old Buzz ... cool graphics ...

You could try kaxaml. Seems to be a good tool to learn xaml.

[Evelon]

Thank you Buzztler and wde! I will get to it and hopefully get some new things going.

i'm going to make linear-phase eq. here's an early version, it uses a lot of cpu.

Linear-phase ParamEQ updated. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for still making new machines come alive

Just made a simple cpu consumption test (my favourite activity since a few days )

Played a single note ...
Qsamo default preset: 3 %
ParamEQLin: 13 %
Your latest EQ-15 (for comparing): 0,5 %

Suggestion: mmmmh... less consum....

a linear phase eq is going to suck up some cpu, theres no way to avoid it. first impression, i think those #s are quite low actually..

compiled using FFTReal library by Laurent de Soras

with SubTickTiming disabled uses much less cpu power, it could run that fast when SubTickTiming is on, but with additional delay...
