Tonecarver Blur - First VCV Module!

Cheers, I’ll be trying this as soon as it’s released! We can never have enough sound mangling modules, and this looks like a really interesting one. :+1:

Thanks. I am on Windows 10, 64 bit. No Mac version at this time unfortunately.

Do you need access to the source code and/or a running copy of the module to do the panel design?

Awesome. I am also on Win 10, 64 bit. How would this work? Do I send the .zip distribution to you … or … ?

Putting myself up as a Win 10 tester.

You could set up a GitHub repo and just have a release page with the zip file there. Therefore anyone who wants to test can download it.

You can send the zip, or upload it at github,( if you use github),
or send me a download link, or I can send you my e-mail … just as you like.

This thread might be worth looking into, if you want to crosscompile for Windows, Linux and Mac - in an Ubuntu docker setup.

(MacOSX10.13.sdk.tar.xz was not that hard to find)

I can build from source and yeah it would be helpful to be running it. But it’s up to you.

But it will not work. You must use a proper SDK generated from Xcode on macOS, which requires you to have a Mac machine (and adhere to the Xcode license).

Ok, thanks. I’ll keep your offer in mind once the features and control set are firmed up.

For Beta testers on Win 10 x64 machines, I put the .zip file here on Dropbox:

No manual yet. I hope to push out a demo video tonight that shows some of the features. Blur is a spectral manipulator so you can get some beautiful sounds with gentle settings and some edgy sounds with the more extreme settings.

This is a Beta version. The feature set, controls, UI panel size, etc., may change as the module matures. One feature I would like to add is a phase cleanup button that cleans out residual phase offset accumulation that can occur after spectral manipulations. The residual buildup can leave the signal slightly malformed even after returning all knobs to their ‘do nothing’ positions. Using the menu to init the module clears the phase buffers but also resets all the controls so that is not a good option. Phase cleanup will appear in next release.

Just a note: if you are planning on releasing this via the Rack Plugin Manager at some point, you must remove the dist directory and its content from the repository. This also means removing it from the repository history. I would not add binary builds to your repository, but instead post them here in this thread.

Thanks, still getting my footing here.

No worries. Just saving you some time later one. :slight_smile:

Not sure how to post the binary in this thread. Files of type .zip are not allowed by the uploader. Am I missing something?

Ok, let’s try this. Zip file is on Dropbox here:

Does this work for everyone?

I’ve messaged you on this forum with a Mac build and a fix so I could build it. Sounds sick - just ran it on a drum patch and it’s crazy cool!

Can build and test with Linux if needed.

Yes, please. That would be great.

So I tested it a bit today, it looks very promising :slight_smile: I have a few ideas/thoughts about it, shall I share them here or github, or somewhere else perhaps?
