OT: SynthEdit Help Needed 'Solved' New Free Plugin Available!

Hi Gang...

I know there are a number of forums dedicated to this program, but I'm a bit overwhelmed trying to get started with it....

I'm not looking to become a developer, but I can't find a gadget with a particular feature that I'd really love to have, so I'm attempting to learn enuf synthedit to creat this one plugin....

The plugin I'm looking for is a typical DDL, but with a seperate lfo for each side (left/right) to vary the delay-time setting... The ddl doesn't need to be long as I use ot for very short delays...

What I'm after is the ability to use a 27-30ms delay with zero feedback/regen where each side is shifting thru the range of 27-30ms at slightly different rates....

Anyone know of such a creature? I'm broke, but if it's not too expensive I might be able to acquire it in the future???

I know if I had the cash I could get the people at Starplugs to build one, but it's more cost than I can afford....

Thanks...
Keni

Thanks for the lead and tips...

I have found ways to create the effect, but it requires far too much resources for the simple task.... So I continue to search in hopes of finding such a beast and now I'm gonna see what I can do with synthedit to create one for myself.... I used to do some programming so I'm not totally new to it, but learning the 'rules' for working with synthedit seems a bit daunting to me right now.... Let's see what the future brings me in this respect....

Meanwhile I'm off to the link you just gave in the forever search....

Oh and yes, I did a very thorough search of KVR a number of times always hoping one would appear, but no such luck.... yet? ;-)

Thanks again...
Keni

You can have different delay times and characteristics with the Sonitus Delay in Sonar.

Keni , not tried it but...

http://www.e-phonic.com/plugins/retrodelay.php

if you look around you probably will find DDL's that only deal with ONE instance of the sound.. so you'd have to set up 2 instancing and send a mono signal (left and right) to each unit.

see how you get on with that, they do some instruments that I use, so they aren't bad.. I'm assuming their fx stuff is as good.hehe

Thanks for the link/lead.... It looks very interesting and I'm downloading it right now....

But my little home-made plugin might find some use too... ;-)

I'm trying to make it available to the public right now.... (Stereo DDL-X)

Why would I have to email e-phonics?

They offer their plugins for free/shareware, so I'm downloading them all and if I find them useful I will make a donation in the near future (pay day for me is a few weeks away)

I don't think I'll use their synths much as I usually use 'organic' drums... ;-)

But the Retro Delay looks very promising. I couldn't quite tell from the pic and it doesn't have a larger pic available... The specs say some interesting things and it might be exactly what I've been looking for....

The one I made with SynthEdit seems to work fine... No bells or whistles other than my 'special' requirement. It doesn't appear to use much resources as I don't see much if any hit on the Sonar CPU Meter when I load an instance of it. It hasn't caused any geif here (yet?) and I was toying with it on tracks that had numerous other plugins... But there's no telling what could occur with some particular item as we've all seen too often...

I had heard rumours about SynthEdit plugins causing problems, but none that I've used cause me any problems (not that I've used a lot of 'em)... You're welcome to have a copy and try it for yourself. It's small... only something like 1.8M file...

Keni ,

I meant email them if what you wanted wasn't on that.. it's probably made for ONE stereo or one mono right? and from what I gathered before you want the L+R treated slightly differently..

a few tweaks here / there for them might be an idea.. so thats what I mean when I wrote that.

sometimes it's memory leaks with SE stuff or the plugin itself sending junk to the sequencer, BUT thats down to the maker of the plug.. they normally are pretty ok, but one I have.. it's really good for crashing things so I just use the samples out of it, and binned the engine.hehe

If I wanted delay times to vary for each side I would probably use the Sonitus delay and add some automation for the L and R delay using Sonar's envelope drawing tools.
