blurb: "A unique synthesis and effect plugin based on the Shepard Tone auditory illusion. It generates mind bending infinite scales, psychedelic drones and fascinating sonic textures. Endless Series v3 works as a tone generator, a ring modulator, phaser, flanger or resonant filter bank effect."
I have been working on this for what seems like forever. It's totally rewritten in C++ and is a vast improvement on previous versions. Hopefully future plugins will be quicker to put out, since much of the work involved improving my C++ skills and improving the iplug framework to have the features that I wanted.
Final key feature list:
- VST2/AudioUnit plugin based on the Shepard Tone auditory illusion
- Additive tone generator with up to 40 partials
- Circular pitch ring modulator, flanger, filter and 24 stage phaser FX
- Glissando, auto-stepped and MIDI stepped modes
- Many options to tweak harmonicity and timbre
- Stereo detune, phase offset and auto-panning
- Quantise pitches to 14 different scales
- Soft clipping, extra harmonics and noise modulation
- Fast ASR amplitude envelope in MIDI stepped mode
- MIDI reset-able for repeatable output
- Integrated help system
- 32 high quality factory presets
I have redone my website, and have temporarily withdrawn my old products from sale. These are being rewritten too, but they need more work.
I've also been working on some video tutorials for ESv3. The first is a brief introduction to the shepard tone, where it's been used and how to produce it using MIDI in ableton live.
