Update on Plugdata 0.9.2, VST3 Export & upcoming patches ! 🥳

Heya!

Hope you're all well!

I wanted to give you a little update on what's going on at the moment as it's been a little quiet on here since Sample pack Bundle Vol. 3!

There are 3 major things happening right now that will drastically improve the way you use my plugdata patches including VST3/CLAP exports! 🥳

On top of that, i want to give you a list of upcoming plugdata patches, as i keep getting new awesome ideas while working on current ones!

1⬇️

PLUGDATA 0.9.2 - This new version of plugdata is aiming to release as stable some time NEXT MONTH, which includes a TON of quality of life improvements and ease of use for everyone! I am actively working with the dev to continue to polish and bug/crash hunt so that release is as smooth as possible!

A quick rundown on changes in 0.9.2:

1. PLUGDATA LIBRARY & STORE PAGE

   0.9.2 will feature an entirely new page to the home screen called LIBRARY, where you can install production ready patches including downloading free ones directly from the Discover page

   The Library will also ensure daw projects work across different machines! 🥳

   

2. NEW PLUGDATA PATCH FORMAT WITH DRAG & DROP

   Plugdata patches are now a simple .plugdata file which you drag and drop into plugdata to install into the Library. You can also delete any patch from the library and install newer versions that way! 🥳 Oh, and you may have noticed - PATCH THUMBNAILS! 🙌🙌🙌

   

3. All automatic - No safety limiter checking, bugfixes and performance improvements

   With Plugdata 0.9.2, patches just work! No more having to make sure the safety limiter is off, zoom % in plugin mode now remembers when reopening the patch and a lot of things just run better across the board!

PLUGDATA VST3/CLAP EXPORT IS COMING 🥳🥳🥳

The developer behind Plugdata has created a VST3/CLAP exporter! It essentially builds a vst3 version of Plugdata with the patch directly loaded without the bells and whistles, effectively making any plugdata patch a standalone vst3!

LIST OF WIP PATCHES releasing after PLUGDATA 0.9.2 STABLE is OUT:

1: N-MORPH⚔️

Spectral morphing made easy with internal pitch tracked Wavetable Oscillator, Sampler triggered via transients or synced to BPM and 3 Ways to morph (Frequencies,Phase & Amplitude/RM) + Sidechain (of course). This will arguably be my most transformative patch yet and will ship with some awesome included wavetables and samples! 🥳

Examples:

1 - Phase Locking using Pitchtracked Saw Wavetable

2 - pitch tracking a bass growl and driving a Wavetable which is then morphed with the growl

3 - Transforming an entire drop with pitch tracked Wavetable morphing

4 - Transforming a drop loop with pitch tracked wavetable

2: N-TARGET COMP⚔️

Waveshaper based compressor that does it all. Compress, expand, gate, combine multiple ways of compressing a signal with full control and 1ms of lookahead smoothing to ensure low distortion.

This patch uses PDLUA, which is currently unstable in 0.9.1, hence why this patch will be released after 0.9.2 stable is out.

Example:

1 - Dynamics shaping using the PDLUA based curve editor

3: N-SPEC COMP LITE 3⚔️

This patch will have Upward and downward ratio's replaced with TARGET COMPRESSION CURVE (like n-target comp). This transforms N-SPEC COMP LITE 3 into more than just and up and downward compressor. It will allow for precise reshaping, contrasting, gating and intensification of your spectrum in an intuitive GUI update using PDLUA.

I also hope to be able to provide a VST3 version of this when Lite 3 releases! 🥳

4: N-PRYSM 2 (Formally N-PRYSM LITE)⚔️

The 2nd iteration of prysm, which will use Cross Convolution (FFT Morph) to make all of prysm effectively linear phase! 🥳 The UI will be simplified by condensing the matrix down to a row of keys that you can then change to be any other key, saving space and time!

Example:

1 - Comparing new cross convolution approach (N-PRYSM Lite) to regular N-PRYSM

5: N-COMP EQ⚔️

Target compression eq that compresses a desired spectrum area to the peak db level you specify! Think of it like flexible multiband style upward/downward compression, but instead it's designed to offer stable eq changes that aren't dependent on input frequencies!

Examples:

1 - COMP EQ in action!

2 - Dynamic compression keeping your eq choice stable at any volume.

6: HARMOR STYLE REALTIME ADDITIVE OSC EFFECT(Experimental)⚔️

1 - FFT to 512 individual sine oscillator conversion / early prototype with an incredible amount of possibilities including pitch shifting, frequency shifting and so much more

7: N-AUTO EQ (placeholder name)⚔️

Generate precise low latency spectrum flattening eq's based on the input signal with spectrum averaging!

Examples:

1 - Prototype example of creating an averaging convolver eq and then optimizing it down to 4ms latency

8: N-Frequency grab (brand new idea, not yet prototyped)⚔️

The idea of this patch is to let you grab a frequency of your choice and move it around. say you have a frequency close to C4 but it's a few hz off. Then, you can isolate that frequency and frequency shift it to be exactly C4. This entire process can potentially be done in realtime or linear phase, which will offer powerful microtonal correction of frequencies not seen before with an parametric EQ style interface 🥳

9: 🐍🐍🐍(WIP) with BORRASCA

MORE PD PATCHES TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON 👀👀👀

I'm hoping that with 0.9.2, i will be able to offer VST3 and CLAP alongside the .plugdata patches! 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you for supporting me through all of this and for your patience!

I’m excited for these tools to soon be in your hands and hopefully empower your future production sessions! ⚔️

Cheers,

Antonio
