Extending the Faust VST Architecture with Polyphony, Portamento and Pitch Bend
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce the vsti-poly.cpp architecture for the Faust programming language. It provides several features that are important for practical use of Faust-generated VSTi synthesizers. We focus on the VST architecture as one that has been used traditionally and is supported by many popular tools, and add several important features: polyphony, note history and pitch-bend support. These features take Faust-generated VST instruments a step forward in terms of generating plugins that could be used in Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) for real-world music production.

Towards (even more) practical Faust: Polyphony, Portamento and Pitch Bend in Faust VSTi-s
Faust is a musical signal processing language. The Faust compiler and the toolset provided along with it enable generating standalone synthesizers and plug-ins for various architectures. We noticed that while being a very useful tool for sound synthesis its VSTi plug-ins lack several critical features for practical usage in combination with music production software and digital audio workstatio...
متن کاملThe rise of fixed pitch systems and the slide of continuous pitch: A note for emotion in music research about portamento
Background in music psychology and history. Psychological and historical factors such as the desire to imitate, and the development of music notation systems and sound recordings, each appear to have contributed to the demise and suppression of portamento (pitch bending) in music, and the singing voice in particular. Portamento offers potential expressive resources in both music and speech, and...
متن کاملIndependent Portamento
Many acoustic instruments create a harmonic series, a collection of sine-waves uniformly spaced in frequency. A listener aggregates such collections of sine-waves, or partials, into a single pitch. Some acoustic instruments allow portamento, the smooth glide from one pitch to another. For example, the violin and trombone. During acoustic portamento, each sine-wave transitions in parallel motion...
متن کاملControl of Synthesized Vibrato during Portamento Musical Pitch Transitions*
Vibrato, the natural oscillation of musical pitch that is commonly associated with music performed by skilled singers and instrumentalists in certain musical styles, is an important aspect of realistic music synthesis. For synthesized singing particular care must be taken to ensure that the synthesized vibrato behaves naturally, especially in the vicinity of portamento pitch transitions. The ap...
متن کاملSignal Processing in Faust and PD
The Faust programming language is a high-level language for digital signal processing with special support for real-time plugin environments such as Pure Data (PD), LADSPA, and many others. This tutorial describes how to make PD, LADSPA, and VST plugins, focusing on a simple example of white noise filtered by a variable resonator. Additionally, generation of an 8-voiced MIDI synthesizer from Fa...
