Hello
Finally released our 'modeled' bit crusher:
http://www.plogue.com/products/chipcrusher
Advanced Bitcrusher, Speaker Simulator and noise machine.
Its a VST/AU plugin that does DPCM/FPCM/PWM/LPC10 and runs through speaker impulse of a tons of stuff you know very well on top of background noise you .. also know pretty well
This is how it sounds:

This would be nice.
We didn't get a chance to include much new presets in 1.6, love to see what you guys come up with.

agreed. especially when you're going for 16 or 32 byte single cycle samples to make tiny mods/xms like back in the day.
To complicate matters, in chipsounds all bit patterns are assumed to be a period, so thats why you see stuff like transpose=-95 in there for LFRSr , or amiga samples.

If the sample was 'raw' there was no way to tell. If it was IFF, it had an internal sample rate, but no "root pitch", in any case the tracker wouldnt know the supposed pitch of an imported sound.
Its still an issue with any sampling/instrument engine. Although the samplerate of the imported file is always known (wav, aiff, etc alwyas has that), but seldom are other chunks filled with good info (smpl/inst chunks comes to mind) with root pitch for _that_ sample, so you need to tell the sampler what it is. In SFZ, for instance, thats what the pitch_keycenter opcode is.

Re: Chipsounds 1.6 beta release (videos) (69 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
As I mention in the docs, my understanding of the situation:
"Tuning woes: Mod trackers usually didn't enforce a match between a sample and its root key. In the day, when you imported a sample, trackers assumed that its sample rate was 8363Hz and that its root key was C4, regardless of its real internal pitch. For instance a mod track could have been started with a sample containing an F, even though the tracker would assume it was a C. When importing any mod/med/iff file, be aware that you might have to tweak the tuning of each slot manually (using 'Trans' and 'Tune') to match the tuning of other slots."
You can retune the sample, just like you did while importing a sample. The tracker couldnt know what the root pitch was supposed to be right?

To get 8SSP or RAW IFF files working:
Windows:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/plgshare/WIN_mod2sfz_1601.zip
extract/overwrite previous mod2sfz.exe in C:\Program Files\Plogue\Aria
Mac (ADVANCED USERS):
http://s3.amazonaws.com/plgshare/MAC_mod2sfz_1601.zip
extract/overwrite previous mod2sfz in /Library/Application Support/Plogue/Aria
(This exe needs to have proper permissions/owner, else it will fail)
Please report!

- IFF FORM-8SSP (Protracker interchange file format). This is a
cut down version of FORM-8SVX. It stores only the mark positions
and sample data. This format does not support stereo or 16 bit
samples.
Im on it

You can btw tweak the loop points at will if you hack the autogenerated SFZ files in the ARIAConverted folder.

Re: Chipsounds 1.6 beta release (videos) (69 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
Or (silly me), if i open an IFF extension file that doesnt seem to be either 8SVX, or 8SSP (when ill figure it out), ill interpret it as raw. Good thing is that once i fix this it will be a simple exe to drag in a folder, not a full update.
Stay tuned...

Re: Chipsounds 1.6 beta release (videos) (69 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
google for the life ot itself cant find any info on 8SSP files, this will be fun. As far as RAW, yeah, i guess i should import them, problem is the import logic will then accept anything as samples, like dlls and images with ... sonic results you wont like
As far as the pitch range, yes I've limited it to follow the maximum pitch at which a Paula can play them. I could make a unlimited as well. Note: its currently only a factor for the upper octaves. you can play REALLY low if you want with pitch bend down.
