new Saturator (LV2) plugin
Hi
I've wrote a saturation LV2 plugin, get it here:
https://github.com/brummer10/GxSaturator.lv2
This one isn't a analogue simulation, but doing by plain math. It allow the setting of the saturation level, and the intensity of the saturation.
It's meant to be used with moderate settings, even if it allow "freakier ones".

Re: new Saturator (LV2) plugin
Thanks, I'll definitely be trying this out soon.
Will this make it in to kxstudio soon or is it best to download manually? I've seen you post a few new things recently but haven't seen many kxstudio updates.

Re: new Saturator (LV2) plugin
I guess you best check it out manually, all this plugs I've made on github been dependency less, only a gcc compiler and the make tools are needed. Simply run make & make install to be done. Simply run make uninstall to remove the plug, if you didn't like it, or when it hit eventually the KX repository’s.
But mainly I've wrote them to have them on the MOD, falkTX has already forked and ported most of them to the MOD.

Hi Tramp,
I now use the guitarix_amp as pre amp,
For voice.
I have no experience with make& build, but might try it
On a heroic day.

Re: new Saturator (LV2) plugin
Yea, I often forgot that could be a barrier when one needs to compile the source. So let me give a detailed introduction of how to do it.Arthurx wrote:I have no experience with make& build, but might try it
Needed been the build-essentials and git, assuming you running a debian/ubuntu based distro, simple run in terminal
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get-install build-essential git
When done, open a terminal and run
Code: Select all
cd
Next step will be download the source code, best is to clone the git repository, run
Code: Select all
git clone https://github.com/brummer10/GxSaturator.lv2.git
Code: Select all
cd ./GxSaturator.lv2
Code: Select all
make
as user run
Code: Select all
make install
Code: Select all
su
make install
exit
For the case you didn't like the Saturator, and will get it rid, just open your terminal, run
Code: Select all
cd
cd ./GxSaturator.lv2
make uninstall
after that you could check out all the stuff under
https://github.com/brummer10?tab=repositories
just you need to change the clone address which you'll find under the button "clone or download" on the project pages, and the cd command to enter the source tree, which is the project name, so eg, cd ./GxSuppaTonebender.lv2 or cd ./GxVintageFuzzMaster.lv2
or . . .

Re: new Saturator (LV2) plugin
You also need to install your distro's lv2-dev package or equivalent.
Rather than install git and use I used the 'download zip' option from the app's web page.
I also used checkinstall to create a debian package. This makes it easier to locate/remove when updating or deploy on other PC's.
Compiled and installed fine on a Debian stable system, will test drive it soon.

Re: new Saturator (LV2) plugin
Works fine on my system.
Please find attached a Debian package (for amd64) that might be of use until the real packaging is done

Re: new Saturator (LV2) plugin
That kind of application is this meant for? I've been trying it on vocals and it's quite good for dirtying them up. The settings seem to go higher (more in to distortion) than I would expect for that though so that's why I'm asking.

Yes, of course,English Guy wrote:You also need to install your distro's lv2-dev package or equivalent.
Yes, the range is from soft saturation up to harsh distortion.sysrqer wrote:That kind of application is this meant for? I've been trying it on vocals and it's quite good for dirtying them up.

The nice thing about this algorithm is, that it does ~level matching regardless the settings.

Re: new Saturator (LV2) plugin
Thanks Tramp and English Guy,
It worked like a charm,
not a single hick-up.
took less than 15 minutes.
I use your shiny plugin with
GxSaturation::
intensity: 2.7
saturation: 33
Sounds perfectly
The first line I used was:
I gonna try more plugins later,
Greetings Arthur

Re: new Saturator (LV2) plugin
I use it on a voice mic strip with a small membrane mic
to make it warmer like the tube big condenser mic
so a very mild setting
maybe a bit like jazz guitar
I can not use the big condenser on stage.

Re: new Saturator (LV2) plugin
I'm glade you like it.
Yes, that's what I mean in my entry post,Arthurx wrote:so a very mild setting
The mild range is were this one shines, limiting the peaks and add a bit of harmonic content. For diving deeper into distortion/fuzz, plugs like the GxVintageFuzzMaster been more suitable. The GxSaturator becomes real harsh when used with high settings, well, the one or the other may exactly like that.tramp wrote:It's meant to be used with moderate settings, even if it allow "freakier ones".

Re: new Saturator (LV2) plugin
Worked like a charm. By the way, extreme settings on male vocal tracks can give interesting results.
