The weblog of Vlad Spears: musician, science fiction hero, Max/MSP/Jitter gangsta, Daevl incarnate. Currently engaged in fast action on slow sculpture, I have an ongoing love affair with animism as an approach to creativity and an affinity for all things automata, gridded or digital.

Nine minutes ago I finished the last small audio plugin (daevl.triptych.filtrate) of the DaevlPlugs suite.  Bugs have been evicted, interfaces have been adjusted, much test audio has been rendered, my LCD tan has reached maturity as ghastly pallor.  Just past the finish line: making music, Monome hacking, soldering, drawing, blogging, socializing and myriad other activities all suffering backburner status during the endless hours of Max patching… how glorious it’s all going to be! Copy protection clean-ups tomorrow, then installer package creation and they’ll go out for crushing by my wonderful beta-testing friends while I work up documentation and finish the website.

9 major plugins, plus single channel, CPU-gentle versions of some for a total of 18… here’s the final contents of the suite:

daevl.cerberus - a triple delay network with FM distortion on each delay
daevl.cerberus.bite
daevl.cubedriver - delay looped bitcrusher/shifter/envelope follower
daevl.hilbertspace - triple Hilbert-transform ring modulation network
daevl.hilbertspace.1d
daevl.noise - audio replacement with pitched/white noise
daevl.noise.pitched
daevl.noise.white
daevl.sixcylinder - triple dual-mono oscillation network
daevl.sixcylinder.twoshot
daevl.threep - three pitch shifters, random instability via peak detection
daevl.threep.eep
daevl.triad - triple bandpass filter FM network
daevl.triad.tattoo
daevl.triphase - triple phase delays in serial/parallel/hybrid configuration
daevl.triphase.isolate
daevl.triptych - triple multiband filter with delay and timeshift
daevl.triptych.monad

I’ll be writing more about each of these after release.  The path has taken longer to traverse than expected, but was worth it.  I’m thrilled at the prospect of using refined versions of some of my favorite production patches in my own audio projects, and hearing what others will do with them.
