P&m Plug-ins Suggestions, Any cool plug-in you'd like us to do ? Post it here ! Options

Quick suggestions : The Electro Optical comp needs a mix knob and a x2 or x4 sidechain freq switch to get more hi pass frequency options, very useful when mixing vocals or drums.

The Echo Flex needs a better ping pong delay, it's ok in stereo but when using the ping pong function the left tap is a lot louder, it would be nice to have the second right tap as loud as the first one, otherwise the left channel appears louder all the time, also it would be cool to have the option to have the first tap start on the right channel too, and of course a reverse delay effect ...

Hello Marius,

The "Less-More" knob does function as a "Mix" knob as the less you have the drier the signal is, when you add "more" there is more of the "wet" or the limiting function.

Hadn't noticed the difference in level in the ping-pong as I use it a lot in mono myself, I guess the devs thought that each repeat should lose level as the it jumps from left to right while it decays. You're right that the right should hit as hard as the left to establish the stereo on the first repeat. I'll pass it on.

Hello MARIU5,

Almost missed the side chain comment, yes it is very useful and something that a lot of people are using right now.
I will add it to the developer's "must do" list.

Hello audio-pervert,

Great suggestion, I will pass it on to the developers, fits right in with the concept of Plug &Mix

Best regards,

Eric

Thanks Eric for the reply. I am one of the lucky 4200+ people how took part in the exellent and very much appreciated P&M Group Buy and look foward to future products including my suggestion. Once again, thanks for the reply and keep up the great work. Kind Regards Jay

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the kind words and your business of course :-)

New plugs are on the way but not yet a Moog filter. I do think it is a great idea and have past this along to the devs...

yay, the ping pong is fixed now ! I'm liking it a lot more now, thanks for listening

Thank you Marius for reporting.

A noise-gate is on the developers list of things to do right now. it won't be long to wait.

I was just re-reading this topic, to see if a Noise Gate (i.e. "expander"-type, rather than "rhythmic gater") was already on the request list.
Not quite sure which of those two you were referring to as being already no the "to do list" (hopefully, both? )

Hello vic_france,

If this is a definition of the tools you want to see then yes they are on the "to do list".

Expander/Noise Gate Filter
An expander increases the dynamic range of an audio signal by attenuating (reducing the gain of) the signal when it drops below a certain level (the threshold). This has the effect of making relatively quiet portions of the audio signal even more quiet proportionally, so the difference between the loud and quiet parts of the audio are increased.

An expander makes quieter portions of audio even quieter by decreasing the audio level if it drops below a specified level. The lower a level is relative to the specified audio level threshold, the more it is decreased, depending on the Ratio setting. An expander with a very high ratio value is called a noise gate and is used to make the level of all sound below the specified audio level threshold as close to silence as possible.

Best Regards,

Nick

Hi Nick,
I was referring to cyphersuit's request..

I would love a trancegate. nomad maga has one, the tough thing would be to supply the tg with less gui space...

to which Peter replied..

hello cyphersuit,

Hence my request for clarification as to what type of gate Peter was referring to .

My own request is indeed for a true noise gate (as you described).. so far absent from the current Dynamics category of P&M plugins.

A Trance Gate is more akin to a step sequencer in its result.. and would indeed be a welcome addition also .

Hello vic_france,

A Trance Gate would be a stepped gate that follows the tempo right?

Yes, ideally with each step controllable both in level and in length (i.e. variable percentage of the step itself, but also with possibility of tying to the next step).
(I reply, but the TranceGate was really cyphersuit's request, not my own )

Hello vic_france,

I will pass it along to the developers to see how easy it would be for them to build it in.

The trick is to incorporate tiny fades as digital hates cutting audio that isn't at a zero crossing point, gives us those nice little audible clicks that most people don't appreciate at all.

hey guys please include a mix control in the cool vibe plug in ... it would add some extra flexibility to an already cool effect.

Hello MARIU5,

I will pass on the suggestion to the developers, in the mean time there is always the option of running it as a send instead of an insert and blending the amount of the Cool Vibe that you need.

Best Regards,

Thank you Nick, I have another sugguestion : A micro pitch shift plug in ! There are very few options out there, the soundtoys micro shift which requires an ilok (UGH) Schwa's CMX (Really great sound BUT 32 bit only, never gets updated) Waves doubler (not a fan of the sound and waves in general) and I think that's about it, the pitch chorus effect is extremely useful on vocals, there is an algorithm in older Lexicon hardware that lets you run two micro pitch shifters per side in stereo for a super lush and thick sound, no one makes this type of effect as far as I know ...
