Calf Studio Gear: New Plug-Ins!
Samstag, den 31. Mai 2014
Lately two guys added some useful plug-ins to the suite, drgreenthumb created a 30-Band graphical equalizer and a reverse delay and SadKo added a Haas stereo enhancer which is kind of a static chorus. I just reworked the user interfaces of the EQ and the enhancer.
Calf Studio Gear: Submenus in Rack
Donnerstag, den 1. Mai 2014
Today I cleaned up the mess in the plug-in menu of the rack application by pooling devices of the same type into submenus.
Calf Studio Gear: Ring Modulator – New!
Montag, den 17. Februar 2014
One of the missing things in Calf was a Ring Modulator, a very simple effect, best used with some pad-like synths with lots of delay and reverb to add some neat modulation running around in the background. The Calf version of this device adds two LFOs which can be used to modulate frequencies, amount or detune depth (Calf Ring Modulator is able to detune the modulator between L and R). The second LFO can act on the first LFO’s frequency setting which adds some interesting changes in the modulator frequency.
Calf Studio Gear: Vocoder – New!
Montag, den 10. Februar 2014
I’m happy to announce the next device in our collection: a vocoder. It offers a dynamic amount of bands, a fine-grained control over every band like additional noise, additional filtered modulator signal, balance, solo and so on and some other neat features like an analyzer for the different signals in the frequency response graph.
As the line graph shows – this thing gets exponentially hungry for CPU when turning the bands knob up – the more filters you get, the steeper the filters are set. You’ve been warned ,)
Calf Studio Gear: New Multiband Limiter Surface
Montag, den 27. Januar 2014
Recently the Multiband Limiter was an optical epic fail. This happened after I added the bigger x-over display for stripping all the knobs needed before. Now it’s hopefully more pleasant again, at least I don’t need to pull a face like looking at a shocking accident any more while working with this device.
Calf Studio Gear: „Real“ Sidechains
Montag, den 27. Januar 2014
A long time Calf wasn’t capable of multiple ins and outs (and therefore additional stereo sidechain inputs). I implemented this feature lately for the X-Overs outs, Krzysztof added the same for the inputs and just this minute I added the corresponding support in both sidechain devices. Finally we have useable stereo sidechain functionality. It works with mono sidechain input as well, just leave the stereo mode set to „maximum“. If you want to process mono singnals with mono sidechain just use input #1 as the original signal and #3 as the mono sidechain.
Calf Studio Gear: Connect Devices Inside Rack
Montag, den 27. Januar 2014
On 30C3 we met a guy who made a wish for an opportunity to connect the devices in Calf Jack Host directly without using QJackCtl. So here it is: Calf Connector.
Calf Studio Gear: Transient Designer done.
Donnerstag, den 16. Januar 2014
Chrischi finally fixed all problems with our envelopes, so Transient Designer seems to work exactly as expected. Additionally I implemented a bigger graph which is able to display all those curves running in the background for the more technically oriented user.
Calf Studio Gear: Crusher with LFO for dynamic sample rate reduction
Donnerstag, den 16. Januar 2014
More or less an artistic effect: Change the (audible) sample rate of your material dynamically via a LFO. The UI changed massively, too.
Calf Studio Gear: Organ UI
Montag, den 6. Januar 2014
Tonight the Organ UI had to bite the dust. We finally got rid of one of the notebook tabs which means a much more compact view. And I moved lots of global controls to areas which are visible all the time.
