I’ve been working on a plugin collection, Skylights. It contains a few nice things:
The “What Note?” CV tuner,
An open-source implementation of the Turing Machine, called ALAN, which also includes: the vactrol mix expander, the volts expander, and the pulse expander.
A multi-channel sample and hold for adding color to notes.
Finished the pulses module and added it to pre-release. It works both as a gate (when there is no clock) and as Whitwell’s module does when a clock is provided.
Contemplating either a Noisering style module that is compatible with the XPND port (and thus the pulses and volts) or some kind of multi sample-and-hold in the spirit of that thread talking about modules to randomize other modules.
Slowly integrating the ones you made as I figure out how to get them in the code. Light versions of the plugs are in the pre-release of skylights, probably headed towards JACK after the Windows stuff is sorted out there.
Pre-release now includes the Vactrol Mix Expander. This is the last of the three turing machine expansion boards and the one which allows you to create randomized stereo landscapes.
Skylights sounds great. If everything basically works (i.e. doesn’t crash), even though it’s not feature complete yet, I would highly encourage you to submit this to the Plugin Manager. That would be great, thanks!
One pain point is that Xcode is a very large download and install for someone to have that isn’t doing any developing. You might be able to get @Nik to do it, or install through the plugin manager when we show up there
Hello,
for me the Vactrol Mix Expander shows some strange behavior on mac. Most of the time it works prefect but some times it starts producing noises like I would feed it with some low drum or gate signals, While this is the case even disconnect the inputs does not stop the noises. Have no idea what is going on. You have to close rack and start again. Some times this behavior comes when I save the rack file or doing something in a different window of the finder.
The problem is only coming when Vactrol is in the patch aside the ALAN module.
It does not happen consistently, sometimes the patch is working without problems.
Have several patches were the same problem occurs.
Combinations ALAN with Volts and/or Pulses only are working like a charm.
