Greyhole | SuperCollider 3.14.0 Help

Description

A complex echo-like effect, inspired by the classic Eventide effect of a similar name. The effect consists of a diffuser (like a mini-reverb, structurally similar to the one used in JPverb) connected in a feedback system with a long, modulated delay-line. Excels at producing spacey washes of sound.

Developed as part of the DEIND project.

NOTE: Please increase server realtime memory for this to work properly

Class Methods

Greyhole.ar(in, delayTime: 2.0, damp: 0.0, size: 1.0, diff: 0.707, feedback: 0.9, modDepth: 0.1, modFreq: 2.0)

NOTE: This UGen always generates a stereo signal.

Arguments:

in	either an array of two audio signals (stereo), or a mono audiosignal.
delayTime	approximate reverberation time in seconds `(0.1..60 sec)`.
damp	controls damping of high-frequencies as the reverb decays. 0 is no damping, 1 is very strong damping. Values should be between `(0..1). argument`size scales size of delay-lines within the diffusion unit, producing the impression of a larger or smaller space. Values below 1 can sound metallic. Values should be between `(0.5..5)`.
diff	controls pattern of echoes produced by the diffuser. At very low values, the diffuser acts like a delay-line whose length is controlled by the 'size' parameter. Medium values produce a slow build-up of echoes, giving the sound a reversed-like quality. Values of 0.707 or greater than produce smooth exponentially decaying echoes. Values should be in the range `(0..1)`.
feedback	amount of feedback through the system. Sets the number of repeating echoes. A setting of 1.0 produces infinite sustain. Values should be in the range `(0..1)`.
modDepth	depth `(0..1)` of delay-line modulation. Use in combination with modFreq to produce chorus and pitch-variations in the echoes.
modFreq	frequency `(0..10 Hz)` of delay-line modulation. Use in combination with modDepth to produce chorus and pitch-variations in the echoes.

Examples

Minimal example (headphones recommended):

Ndef-based example:

(
s.options.memSize_(65536 * 4);
s.reboot;

Spec.add(\damp, [0, 1]);
Spec.add(\diff, [0, 1]);
Spec.add(\highband, [1000, 10000, \exp]);
Spec.add(\highx, [0, 1]);
Spec.add(\lowband, [100, 6000, \exp]);
Spec.add(\lowx, [0, 1]);
Spec.add(\modDepth, [0, 50]);
Spec.add(\modFreq, [0, 10]);
Spec.add(\midx, [0, 1]);
Spec.add(\size, [0.5, 3]);
Spec.add(\t60, [0.1, 60, \exp]);
Spec.add(\wet, [0, 1]);
Spec.add(\shelfslope, [1, 10]);
Spec.add(\shelfFreq, \freq);
Spec.add(\fb, [0, 1]);
Spec.add(\dtime, [0, 2]);
)

(
Ndef(\src, {
    //SoundIn.ar([0, 1])
    Splay.ar(Impulse.ar([1, 3, 5, 7, 9]).scramble);

});
Ndef(\hole, {
    var src, delay, amp;

src = LeakDC.ar(Ndef(\src).ar);
    src = src * \amp.kr(1);
    // var src = Impulse.ar(0.5);

delay = Greyhole.ar(
        src,
        \dtime.kr(0.1),
        \damp.kr(0.1),
        \size.kr(1),
        \diff.kr(0.707),
        \fb.kr(0.1),
        \modDepth.kr(0.01),
        \modFreq.kr(2)
    );
    delay
});
)

Ndef(\src).play;
Ndef(\hole).play;

Ndef(\hole).edit;
Ndef(\src).edit;

For the Greyball piece ( see http://tai-studio.org/portfolio/greyball.html ), the following source was used, Ndef(\hole) remains unchanged.

NOTE: Since Impulse and LFPulse are chosen to be used at evaluation time, the given argument names might not match to the chosen UGen's interface. Since a superfluous argument does not affect a UGen's operation, the warnings can be ignored.
