| Description: | This is an 8 VST-FX Chain randomizer, kind of like Mr. Matrix from the days of yore. It can hold up to 8 VST effects in a chain, in any automatable order. In the center cell, you can Randomize the chain order and dial in your own chain order (hit the go button to instantiate your chain). Additionally, the chain can be run either forwards or backwards. There is room for 24 Chain Snapshots which can be automated with the Snap numberbox. There is a helpfile next to the Snap box. Each VST slot has low and high cut filters before the effect input (the dry mix is unaffected). The automatable preset number chooses built-in presets of your vst. Each slot has a Snapshot Morpher and Randomizer. Shift+Click on the row of squares (room for 11) to save a Snapshot. Click on a Snapshot to recall it. The automatable Morph slider morphs between the Snapshots stored in the A and B ends of the slider. Change the automatable numbers at the ends of the slider to select the Snapshots loaded there. Share and Enjoy. Unsolicited Math lesson. An 8x8 grid represents 64 possible connection points, each of which can be either on or off (2 states). Consequently, there are 2^64 possible distinct patterns. If you were to analyze one pattern per second it would take nearly 600 billion years to check them all. Furthermore, a large majority of those patterns contain disconnected loops that never make it to the output connection, or don't include all of the devices or contains so much feedback that it immediately explodes. Consequently, this device limits you to the 8! = 40,320 safe connection patterns. With these connections, every device is used exactly once. I tried having a little bit of feedback for each device, but it quickly became terrible. If anybody still wants the full matrix of possibilities, I made it really easy to find it under the hood and add it to your interface. |
