Contrairement à l'ensemble des autres plugins,
ceux ci ne traitent PAS les sons, mais des contrôles
sous la forme de messages MIDI ou de paramètres
de plugins sur Mac pour les hôtes qui le permettent (la sortie MIDI des plugins Audio Unit n'est
pour l'instant pas possible, elle devrait l'être avec le prochain
support du format AUv3).
Les plugins générant automatiquement
des variations permettent d'obtenir des évolutions et
des animations de paramètres
complexes, les processeurs et convertisseurs
MIDI permettent
d'adapter les contrôles à des périphériques
particuliers, ou simplement de transformer les messages MIDI.
Un certain nombre de traitements MIDI ne sont
disponibles qu'au
format VST2 32 bits pour Windows mais elles fonctionnent parfaitement
dans Reaper 64 bits ;-) Quoi qu'il en soit, des versions 64 bits VST3
(et plus tard AUv3) devraient se développer peu à peu... Note
: en raison des particularités dans l'implémentation
de la sortie MIDI dans le format VST3 il est possible que cela ne
fonctionne pas avec certains hôtes / circonstances...
|
Unlike all the other plugins, these do NOT process
sounds, but controls in the form of MIDI messages or plugin parameters
on Mac for the hosts that allow it (MIDI output from Audio Unit plugins is currently not possible,
it should be with the next support of the AUv3 format).
The plugins that
automatically generates variations
make possible to obtain complex parameters
changes and animations, while the
processors and
MIDI converters can
be used to adapt the controllers to
specific devices, or simply transform
MIDI messages.
A certain number of MIDI processings are only
available in VST2 32 bits format for Windows but they work perfectly
in Reaper 64 bits ;-) Anyway, 64-bit versions
VST3 (and later AUv3) should develop gradually... Note: due
to peculiarities in how MIDI output is handle in VTS3 format it may
not work in some hosts/circumstancies ...

MIDI
CC emitter with interpolations according to a gesture made in a
cubic space. Compared to previous 32 bits version it may seem to
be more limited since you cannot place the nodes where you want,
but experience has shown that the corners are suficient most
of the time and can lead to a more effective result ... -
up to 8 simultaneous controllers (use several plugins if you need
more!) - 8 combined settings positions on the corners of a virtual
cube - 3 interpolation modes - output values scaling and curve -
labels to write the parameters names and the effects descriptions

16 parameters at once with a 3D gesture device, from for example a Leap

on its distance to the input controller. The Area settings
here means at the same time the "length" of the parameter
and how it will change along with the other ones. It can be very
useful to control together the shapes and the animations parameters
of an AnimaSpat or even parameters of different plugins.

and it can be also interesting to control several
"Focus" plugins, or, why not, use it as a kind of "3D

fake inputs/outputs to make it work as a Audio Unit but it
doesn't process audio. The MIDI CC numbers are set sequentially
from 01 to 24 and cannot currently be changed.

Same
principle as the ShapeControl above but specialized in sphere
based shapes. It can drive any plugin with 16 audio inputs with
any 3D speaker arrangement. Some of them could already
be possible by using an ambisonic plugin together with an encoding
and a decoding one, but even in 7th order the process will always
result in a loss of sound and spatial precision. The SphereControl is also
not limited to move the points accross the surface but can work
with "solid sphere" loudspeakers arrangements, that
is to say with speakers also placed inside the sphere. - Diameter :
dimension of the sphere from a single center point - Angle :
rotation in the Azimut plane - Elevation : position and rotation
in the Elevation plane - Ring : length in th Azimut plane from
a point to a full ring - Arch : length in the Elevation plane -
Ray : line ray extension (normaly with a Diameter = 0) - Scatter
: random shift from the equal distribution

Generation
of complex combined controllers: - MIDI version of AnimaSpat
2D - eight to sixteen MIDI controllers - ten modulation curves -
use of an audio input as a modulation source Two animation sections
can be used simultaneously and combined: Steps section: -
2D trajectories in step by step on sixteen points - smoothing
parameter to obtain continuous movements - four reading modes:
linear, step, time and cycle - "linear" mode: manual
movement along the trajectory (mouse or MIDI controller), modulation
possible according to intensity - "step" mode: point-by-point
movement according to a triggering threshold on the input audio,
host software tempo or manually indicated (tap tempo), point determination
start and end as well as the direction - "time" mode: -
trajectory deformation pad (scale and mirrors) - global 2D displacement Curves
section: - two modulators with multiple waveforms control the
movements in X and Y - control of the speed and amplitude of
the movement for each axis by a 2D controller - phase and acceleration
adjustments - global modulator - submodulators to control
speed and amplitude in order to obtain evolving trajectories -
speed control to tempo (host / audio signal thresholds / tap tempo) Instant
Gestures section: Temporary mode that deactivates both animation
sections. It is not subject to patch changes and the settings remain
stored as long as the plugin is not disabled. - Bounces mode:
it consists in "throwing" the ring which represents the
position of the sound to make it ricochet on the edges of 2D space,
power adjustment and friction (nonlinear at high values), it can
be triggered automatically with random values by the audio input. -
Scratchpad mode: on-the-fly recording of a continuous trajectory
for up to 30 seconds, playback at variable speed and direction,
time control real loop points, global deformation (scale and mirrors). Global: -
use of host tempo as modulation source - audio input tempo detection -
tap tempo function - subdivisions of the round to the quadruple
eighth note, support for triplets - pre-assigned MIDI controllers -
up to 64 patches can be chained together without interruptions by
a MIDI keyboard or mouse - "NotesOFF default" option:
definition of a default setting when no key is played.

Specially for Reaper, this series of mini controllers allows you to use
one instance of a sptialization plugin inserted on a track and to control it from the objects
placed on this track: - place a plugin from the Spat,
the Mass
or the Scale series on the track - place the mini controller on audio objects
of this track - adjust the values on the mini controllers:
depending on the plugin the corresponding MIDI numbers may be already
configured internally or you will need to assign them manually.
MIDI messages can be sent continuously so the values in the plugin
are always accurate. Nevertheless the refresh rate can be adjusted to prevent useless messages to
be sent or to provide the needed smoothness during automation, or
deactivated for easy MIDI Learn setting. The common
CC numbers are: main X = 11, main Y = 12, main Z = 15, aux X = 13, aux Y = 14,
aux Z = 16, Area Volume = 8, Area Shape = 9.

which it can provide an easier control over the important parameters.
It can also be used as a remote control when inserted on items in
Reaper (every parameter must have an automation envelope). In
any case you will have
first to assign the MIDI CC to the corresponding Spaces3D parameters. - XYZ

It uses the multichannel audio input from a Zylia
microphone to send MIDI messages : - 19 channels audio input
with 19 envelope followers modules -
threshold detection to trig notes with velocity - direct amplitude
to CC values with inertia setting - spatial position interpolation
to drive 3 CC for XYZ control It is intended to be used with a
direct contact on the surface microphone, but it may also work with proximity
sounds
! It can work well with the LightPads 25, the MassInFaders
3264X, and with every Spat3D-like plugin as soon as the speaker
arrangement is nearly spherical. Since you cannot use in the same
application both the Zylia's driver and your soundcard one, the
ZyliaTouch is provided as a standalone application which
you must set with the Zylia audio driver and use a MIDI loopback
such as loopMIDI as an output. Then you can receive the MIDI messages
in your prefered application (like Reaper...). There is also
a VST version that you can use with another host of your choice. (note
: the Pitch to MIDI doesn't work yet)
