new Slow Gear Plugin (lv2)

Post by tramp »

I've made a Slow Gear LV2 plug, if you wonder what a slow gear is for, check out this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzZBHXgRy9s

get the source here:
https://github.com/brummer10/GxSlowGear.lv2

no fancy dependency’s, only build-essentials are needed, just run make &&make install.

happy jamming

Nicely done!
Just curious, did you write this using the schematic or just leveraging your other envelope controlled wah plugins?

The Schematic is available,
http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/wp- ... sgo_sc.pdf
but, for this one I've written the basis in Faust, and then reworked the C++ code to my needs.
It isn't a Envelope, it's a simplified Noise Gate, with possible large attack/release times.
The slow attack (the up-count is heavily smoothed) is what makes the effect.

Well to be pedantic, technically noise gates work off envelopes, but they're just open or shut based on the threshold so I know what you mean. :)

This is really nice. I have the "LazySprocket" clone from buildourownclone.com, which is the same circuit. It is a really useful gadget for Allan Holdsworth type of sounds, with really long fade ins. Cool to be able to add it to the stack.
