Bigass Bandpass

Edit: Internal limiter added. (see post below).
First, some sound advice [here].

This .sfz was adapted from the Sexy Hidden 16 Pole Filter. Copy the text below, paste it into a text editor (Notepad), and save it as Bigass Bandpass.sfz. For Rapture, save it to the ... \Cakewalk\Rapture\Mutisamples folder. For Dimension or Dimension Pro, make the one-line change noted in the body of the file, and save it to the ... \Cakewalk\Dimension (Pro)\Multisamples\00 - Wavetables folder. It uses CC#2 and CC#3 for external control over MIDI. 
// Bigass Bandpass.sfz
 // There's enough resonance here to blow out your ears, your speakers, and kill most rodents.
 // In-house limiter added.  Thanks to Paradroid.  - b rock

    Do yourself a favor, and turn the Limiter on first.

    Reeling me in, out of lurk mode…

    Here's what you're missing at the end of the whole shebang:

    <effect>
    type=limiter

    …no settings for that one 'cause I hear (I fear a pun…) that's it's a look-ahead, brickwall limiter.

    Nice work Tom… and thanks for waking me up!

    If I'd have only known it was that easy ... It was time to ease away again from only cooking on the front burners.

    Cheers, Dale. Thanks for that; it should've been obvious, and I didn't think of it. So ... what do you have in a late-model lfo_xxx (not the original fillfo_xxx)? I'm having difficulty finding the obscure reference, Chad writes his sfz in [][][]Sanskrit[][][], and I haven't found it in the uh, ... documentation.. My 64-stage phase shifter needs them desperately, along with some negative feedback ... Those all-pass filters are feeling a little lonely and neglected. So it sits there -motionless- while I continue my quest for the Holy Hard/Soft Osc Sync Grail.
    Edit: Never mind. I've got an idea ...

    Alan, I immediately got a visual on a new avatar.

    Does anyone have any idea why posting sfz text in the forum completely bollocks' up the post in Firefox?

    Superb Tom. Is it me only or the Bigass Bandpass also nukes Firefox somehow?

    I didn't mean to trash the browsers. Only near-field monitors. I'l bet it's those PGD [code] tags. I started using them with the Scala file postings, because leaving that out appended leading spaces to the file. Then it wouldn't work with direct copy/paste from the post. Can't win for losing here.

    Chad, you're right about Wordpad; works great for viewing the .sfzs correctly. I keep using Notepad for two reasons: I figure that's the tool that most will reach for first, and I have it stuck in my head that this particular WYSIWYG editor will present the fewest surprises in the results. I've got a ton of text editors here; I suppose that I should either use them or lose them.

    As for the *idea*: I've been toying around for some time with MIDI messages generated in cyclical shapes. That kind of versatile auto-source is something that I miss from z3ta+. You're all set if you intend to control pitch, cutoffs, etc. But what if you want to fade Drive and Decim in & out, or crossfade the Pitch StepGen Depth with Detuned ring modulators? I can't be the only one doing this. Er, ... can I?

    It's easy enough to draw triangle, ramps, and even random (locked to tempo and quantized) in automation. But without having a node-based automation system [here], the smooth curves are difficult at best. So I dug out the old Cakewalk SpectraFX and Petertool's LiveSet. The first will generate fairly smooth curves (finish it off with the Smooth parameter in the Matrix). It produces an X and Y parameter that can each be re-assigned to MIDI messages.

    There's a MIDI LFO in Petertools that'll generate two sets of all of the common waveshapes, and adds random level & duration, like sample & hold. [Octopus should probably be on this list for it's MIDI EG's.] No re-assignment needed, and the waveshapes directly control anything in the MIDI Matrix. Now both plugins are getting pressed into service for external cyclical control over .sfz file opcodes. Unless ...
