Bass Enchanter big update

Z Gabr

Big update of my bass enhancer. The main algorithms have been reworked and several new features have been added. Very soon.

Bass Enchanter v 1.5

Hello, everybody!

Glad to share with you a fully updated version of my bass enhancer.

1) Reworked the harmonic and subharmonic generator algorithms.

2) Reworked the harmonic saturation modes of the G.S.A (Gentle, Strong, Agressive).

Now it's a boosting of certain harmonic selections

3) Added a dynamic damping of the subharmonic generator, for a more subtle effect.

4) Added two modes of subharmonic generator operation

5) Added sustain to the dynamic processing, for more rich low frequencies

6) Added balance to the sub-harmonic and harmonic generators.

7) Reworked the limiter and put it last in the circuit after the output volume.

8) Added light display to input trim and output vol.

9) Updated GUI

Please test and report me about the bugs if there are any, in this thread.

Best regards.

I'd appreciate any feedback

What do think of the updated version?

Good sound, very useful. The GUI reminds me of the plugins from Newfangled Audio:

I like that, thank you!

Thank you very much. I have been working on this update for quite some time.

cryptic indeed!

almost sounds as if its doing some kind of tone tracking for the partial replacement? always neat looking inside your builds as well, always get an impression of true invention

Thank you very much!

If you mean the operation of the subharmonic generator I made it according to a known circuit.

I just made some minor changes.

The circuit is described here:

oh interesting, it almost has a "tracked" or synthesized sound

My circuit is still different from the one described in the document, because I gave up the rectifier and square root and built the algorithm a little differently, although my circuit also has a counter, but in my circuit the counter is triggering the integrator. And the counter itself is triggered by the upper half-wave obtained by separating....

didn't see an integrator but its hard to know exactly what i'm looking with your projects. so you just use a crossover to separate out the part of the signal to generating subharmonics with?

i built a phase locked loop pitch detector some time back that might be pretty good for getting surgical separation of bass frequencies fundamental frequency seemingly hinted at in the paper (it's monophonic but tolerates polyphonic signals just locking on to loudest frequency)

not sure if you'd be interested in that but it'd actually be cool to see how clean of a result could be obtained from frequency complex input

The integrator is circled in red:

That's exactly right.

Would you share?

So will you share the pitch detector?

yeah sorry m8 lol, this and another project i was helping someone with didn't quite work as well as i'd hoped and got a bit discouraged. this was one i made just for studiowaves but it should serve the purpose

frequency comes out the top event output of the core cell, getting into your ensemble should be pretty easy

even though i'm not sure it'll work as well as i'd initially hoped it very well might do something, especially on busier or more complex tracks :p

bespoke costas pitch factory for studiowaves.ens

Oooh! Thank you! I'll be sure to check it out!
