Impulse convolver/guitarix

[brummer]

try ./waf clean between new builds

[funkmuscle]

I've been doing that ever since you told me to way back..

just did again and I get this:

./waf build
Waf: Entering directory `/home/harv/audio/guitarix/trunk/build'
Waf: Leaving directory `/home/harv/audio/guitarix/trunk/build'
find_or_declare returns a build node, not a source nor a directory ['preamp.cc']

[brummer]

That's good.

So okay, could you have a look in the build directory, `/home/harv/audio/guitarix/trunk/build', if there is a directory /faust-cc/ filed up with some *.cc files ?
If not, for a test, could you copy ~/trunk/src/faust-cc to ~/trunk/build/ and try again ./waf build
please look in this directory befor, if there are some *.cc files like AntiAliase.cc, autowah.cc, balance.cc, . . . .

[funkmuscle]

no faust-cc in `/home/harv/audio/guitarix/trunk/build' so I copied it over from 'src'.
it has AntiAliase.cc, autowah.cc, balance.cc, . . . .

still:
./waf build
Waf: Entering directory `/home/harv/audio/guitarix/trunk/build'
Waf: Leaving directory `/home/harv/audio/guitarix/trunk/build'
find_or_declare returns a build node, not a source nor a directory ['preamp.cc']

yet 'preamp.cc' is in there.

[brummer]

Strange, okay . .

Could you try please a new fresh SVN checkout, point your console into ~/trunk/ and run
./waf configure --cxxflags . . . --no-faust from there, and then ./waf build

[funkmuscle]

it builds now... thanx brummer.

[brummer]

Great

It would be great when you could give us some feedback about the new engine, it's a complete new style behind the face now, every unit run's now as a plugin, that mean with in his own loop, no longer in one main loop.
All units are optimized by the faust compiler now, no more hand optimized.

The convolver runs now as a internal plugin, no more port handels. Switching presets didn't stop the convolver any more ( only when you use a other IR file in the other preset).

Check out the new preamp, tubes, distortion and the oversample mode.

I mean, adegert have made a great job by rework the engine.

A lot more stuff have change behind the skin, presets are now human readable, all is midi controllable, . . .

Let us know what you think,

regards brummer

Ah, to the falling build procedure, witch faust version do you have now ?

[funkmuscle]

I will once I get a chance to really try it... after it was built, I had to go out... I'll now but isn't late here so maybe tomorrow I'll have feedback.

EDIT:

I actually just tried it... the tube1 sounds amazing but when running both tubes, I get a delay. Very strange. sounds like a dely, reverb or echo is on...

[brummer]

That must be the vibrato, just set it to a lower value. (turn the wheel to the left )
Resonanz and vibrato are values for tube2, the vibrato on the left side is independent from the tubes.

Resonanz brings more distortion to the sound, vibrato, eh it brings vibrations, turn it to the right will bring longer phase to the vibrations, that could indeed sound like reverberation/echo .

[funkmuscle]

I didn't need tube2 at all... tube1 with the fuzz or the distortion worked really good... I mean, I compare the tone with some good vsts and guitarix was just as good... of course, I use IR files..

as a LADSPA plugin, is the jconvolver part of it too? Guitarix and jconvolver works amazingly together.

hey, maybe the tube2 can be used to emulate vintage amps like older Marshalls before they were made with preamps and early Fenders, etc... Getting that clean tubey tone especially on strat pickups like Hendrix on the song Little Wing..

wondering if the chorus, distortion, and overdrive effects can be chained before the preamp like in a real amp with stompboxes..

[brummer]

I use mostly both tubes, with moderate values, or one tube with negative and one with positive values, that gives also nice clean warm tube sounds. Also the resonanz and vibrato wheels of tube2 brings a lot creative possibilities, special the resonanz together with the following distortion settings.

@JConvolver:
The convolution is now part of the guitarix engine, guitarix use zita-convolver direct without involve JConvolver. But no, isn't a ladspa plugin, and properly it will never be one .

@stompbox:
Main Goal is to become a amplifier, effects are additional, but in a Modular Work-flow you can add those effects from jack-rack (LV2rack) or together with rakarrack before guitarix
Also the two gain controllers can work in a way that you get nearly the same results as like you move effects befor the amp part.

[funkmuscle]

true, keep it an amp.
I will try you combination to see what kinda clean tones I can get.

Updated to revision 614.
getting this error:
source not found: 'balance1.dsp' in 'dir:///home/harv/audio/guitarix/trunk/src/faust'
I checked that folder and 'balance1.dsp' is not in there, only 'balance.dsp'

[funkmuscle]

updated and now this:

are you sure you use --no-faust ?
witch faust version do you have installed ?
witch compiler version do you have now ?
