Anorax Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 If someone were to ask you what you would want in your own "perfect" VST, what would it be? I'm asking because I saw a thread over in KVR about doing this with SynthEdit and I want to at least see what your ideas are for such an instrument. So, what would you have in it? EDIT: And whatever it is, it has to be possible in SynthEdit. Current idea list Advanced Envelopes - GeckoYamori plenty of LFOs - GeckoYamori Delay wheel - yet again, GeckoYamori Simplicity - PrototypeRaptor What I would like to know is how many/what kind of oscillators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eilios Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Tough to say, because there are a lot of things that you want in a VST, but the closer you get to getting everything, the closer you get to the one thing that everyone hates - extreme lag. There's a lot you could want, so a "perfect" vst instrument doesn't really cut it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot you could want, so a "perfect" vst instrument doesn't really cut it for me. "Perfect" as in perfect for you. I want to see people's ideas of what they want to see in a VST. (Personally, I would like to see a synth with a lot of power under the hood, but a oh-so-simple GUI to go with it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicThHedgog Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Vuvuzela, tf samples aint good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorax Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Vuvuzela, tf samples aint good enough. ... and I have NO idea what you just said EDIT:Okay, to make sure I don't look completely stupid, I edited this post, but it somehow didn't update. Anyway, receiving the waveform structure of this would be "fun" (as in hard) to get, let alone getting the module set to play and modulate it as well.

Charlie's Angel Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 That didn't make an ounce of sense whatsoever. Pretending that was sentence structure, plenty of people here get along extremely well with VSTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorax Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 I don't think anyone has actually answered the question...He said VST, not sample library... ^This. Very much this^ I'm basically asking you what you would want in a VSTi. I'm not asking for sample libraries. I'm asking what features you would like to have control of in a virtual instrument. An off-the-bat example would be 43 oscillators. In no way would anyone want to do that, but that's an example for you guys of what I'm asking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh fiiiiiiiiine i want a vsti with a sampled black gospel choir with the same amount of control like The Trumpet or most other Sample Modeling VSTis have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazygecko Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Advanced and flexible envelope controls, with a visual interface where you can "draw" the lines like in the FL automation clips. Plenty of LFOs, with a delay wheel, which you can tie to any other function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrototypeRaptor Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I want a vst that actually stacks up to even an entry level analog unit with minimal effort... you can get close with polyana, fxpansion, etc, but it takes way too much time and effort. I want something that's "plug and play" haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabeel Ansari Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Go figure why you don't understand.A VST won't ever compete with a real instrument, however, I'd like to have an oscilloscope as a VST but that probably exists ? Yeah sure, VST's are definitely worse than breaking your bank renting an orchestra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erineclipse Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 ... and I have NO idea what you just said The vuvuzela (pronunciation: /vuːvuːˈzɛlə/), also known as lepatata Mambu (its Tswana name), colloquially known in South Africa as "Moerstripper" , is a plastic horn, about 65 centimetres (2 ft) long, which produces a loud monotone note, typically around B♭3[1] (the B♭ below middle C).[2] Many types of vuvuzela, made by several manufacturers, may produce various intensity and frequency outputs.[3] The intensity of these outputs depends on the blowing technique and pressure exerted.[3] Traditionally made and inspired from a kudu horn, the vuvuzela was used to summon distant villagers to attend community gatherings.[4][dubious – discuss] The vuvuzela is most used at soccer matches in South Africa,[5] and it has become a symbol of South African soccer as the stadiums are filled with its loud and raucous sound that reflects the exhilaration of supporters.[4] The intensity of the sound caught the attention of the global soccer community during the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in anticipation of South Africa hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[4] The vuvuzela has been the subject of controversy when used by spectators at soccer matches. Its high sound pressure levels at close range can lead to permanent hearing loss for unprotected ears after exposure,[6] with a sound pressure of 120 dB(A) (the threshold of pain) at 1 metre (3.3 ft) from the device opening.[4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorax Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Wikipedia's definition of the vuvuzela Yeah, I read the wikipedia page on it minutes after I posted about this. If you didn't notice, I edited my post. EDIT: yeah, I know. the post didn't update obviously, so I re-edited (?) it. Advanced and flexible envelope controls, with a visual interface where you can "draw" the lines like in the FL automation clips. Do you mean controls similar to that of the NI Massive envelope editor? Plenty of LFOs, with a delay wheel, which you can tie to any other function. Hmm... Would you be able to work with a data matrix with this? Also, I would like to have a little bit more information on what you mean by delay wheel.

Anorax Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 I want a VST that can understand FL Studio pitch bends. !! Just noticed this. Does FL Studio use pitch bend as a MIDI controller? If so, what CC? That should be easy to rewire if you knew what FL used as pitch bend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
