I need some help from the hardware owners here...

Post by mike_o »

I need some help from the hardware owners here, I'm working on a new additive synth in reaktor and I created a resonance extraction system where I can run a saw wave through a resonant filter sweep and then convert the resonant sweep into harmonic table data for additive synthesis.

At that point I can subtract the saw wave harmonics from the data stream and be left with an almost pure resonance signal.

I've done this with several soft synths to get different resonant signatures, some of them are incredibly unique and different.

I want to do the same thing with some hardware filter, but I don't own any hardware.

I need an F-1 -23 cents to hit 21.53hz recorded at 44.1khz to get 2048 samples per wave cycle, I need a LP/BP/HP filter sweep that lasts for 11.888 seconds reaching from 30hz up to 8khz across that time to get the best results.

An 8 bar single note of F-1 -23 cents or 21.53hz at 161.5 BPM recorded at 44.1khz comes out to 256 single wave cycles at 2048 samples per cycle, this will yield the best results.

I'd like it if I had 3 for each hardware unit, one at %75 resonance, one at %90 resonance and one at %100 resonance.

Recording at C0 or C1 can work as well but it takes a little more work to get everything just right.

So what hardware do you guys own?

I'd like to get samples of the following synths if I can,

moog
virus A, B, C and TI
Nord Lead 2
various Korg's
Roland stuff
Random modular filters would be great too!

basically any filter that exists is worth a try, some of these sound really similar when I'm playing the audio recording, but once I turn it into additive harmonic data and remove the saw wave they start to sound really unique and different.

So what have you got?

Who owns what hardware and are you down to help out with this idea?

Thanks,

Mike
