A full rewrite of OSC/PAR is now available for testing as OSC/PAR2. Your existing keys for OSC/PAR will work as-is, no need for a new purchase. Quite a few new output modes (LFO, Envolope etc) and features available.
Try it out and let us know if you have any issues and feedback. Download links here:
After messing around with it for a little while, there are a lot of things about this that intrigued me about it. Although, some things are still confusing. Maybe to some, it would be intuitive, but I’ve only played around with OSC data so much.
Envelope - Very cool that we can do this now, but I wish there were some way to trigger this with MIDI notes.
Had this weird crash in FL Studio trying to use the Param Module, this is no big deal to be because I have both Ableton and FL Studio, although still concerning.
Many of the other features I really like. In the future I’d love for you guys to develop an audio follower! Been looking for something like this for ages, but most audio followers I know of kinda suck.
yeah, most audio followers do suck… but i think with a selection of modes it could not suck, like RMS vs Peak w/ smoothing option (some algo).. but i think also for “audio env foloow” the way to go is to use an envelope and trigger it with a threshold from the audio (the way compressors / gates use thresholds) then you can tune it a bit better for the decay / sus / release.
ill play around with it, and make those other fixes this week.
you “can” trigger an env with a midi note…. youll have to map the param. but…. the parameter problem is, VST3 params cant really be created “dynamically” like we do when adding / removing “modules” … so ill have to find a workaround… as in maybe push 100 params, and only publish them when a module is loaded to reserve the param / name it. when you load a VST, traditionally, all params are baked in, so to speak. our are not, so ill have to find a kinda workaround.
Yeah! I noticed this too. I was using OSC/PAR to convert to OSC data, then convert back to Midi, to control parameters In vst “PhasePlant”. I ended up linking the volume of a pure sin wave, to this value through a sideband, then sending it to an Audio Follower to smooth this value for PhasePlant with the attack and release.
Maybe the efficient way to implement this for OSC/PAR is a smoothing fader near the sequencer? I’m thinking of Shaperbox 3 vst as a reference.
