Another Transient Designer

[bluebell]

Hi all,

Hannes added the transient designer "Point" to airwindows-lv2 (now on Git, he'll make e release soon).
See https://git.sr.ht/~hannes/airwindows-lv2

I added an audio example:
2 beats with the original snare sample
2 beats with CALF Transient Designer
2 beats with Airwindows Point

I tried to get with Point a similar sound as with CALF Transient Designer.

Off topic:

Why always use cutesy cryptic names for such plugins? If it's a transient designer call it "transient designer", not "point" or "beat breather" or "couture".

Same with Uhbik btw: they have Uhbik-A, Uhbik-D, Uhbik-you get the idea.

Hate that when I browse for a specific effect in my DAW.

Yes I know: that's where I found those cutesy names:) Doesn't really make finding the right effect in the DAW plugin list easy though, if I need the linuxmusic.rocks site open in the browser to figure out what's what.

We are on the same page here.

I made a CPU usage comparision between CALF Transient Designer and Airwindows Point:

• I started Carla. It reported 2% DSP load.
• I loaded 10 instances of CALF Transient Designer: 15% to 16% DSP load.
• I removed the CALF Transient Designer instances and loaded 10 instances of Airwindows Point: 17% DSP load.

That's about 1.3% to 1.4% for an instance of CALF Transient Designer and about 1.5% for an instance of Airwindows Point.
No big difference.

No big difference.

Just for paranoia's sake, try doing it the other way round (AW Point first): it is conceivable that the "unloaded" CTD plugins were still hanging around, consuming DSP like their younger brother's birthday cake.

I started Carla and loaded 10 instances of Airwindows Point. Got 17% DSP load.

So the sequence had no efffect.

Good to know -- thanks for following up on my suspicion.
