TL;DW: YNotBandpass is soft and smooth to nasty, edgy texture-varying filtering, no control smoothing.

YNotBandpass has various uses. One I was trying out in the original video, was setting it up as a ‘walkie-talkie’ sort of tone on my voice, and then turning up ResEdge to really trash the hell out of the audio in a characteristic way that’s not easily found anywhere else.

In the video for YNotBandpass, the version without control smoothing, I demoed it on a bunch of huge reverb, alternating between a Bricasti Cathedral and my version of that same sound… and the more rapid switching between Freq settings turns out to sound pretty nice! Except when the ResEdge control is used to give a mean, electrical, circuit-bendy quality that still retains a lot of the depth of the underlying sound.

ConsoleMC is still on track for last week of October. Wish me luck, thank you, and see ya later :)

TL;DW: YNotHighpass is soft and smooth to nasty, edgy texture-varying filtering.

See YNotLowpass, except it’s a highpass :) interestingly, the original YHighpass saw some significant improvements in CPU usage. Turns out that going to YNot mode, with no control smoothing, boosts performance even more.

You can use YNotHighpass (or the control-smoothed version, YHighpass) to do a really unnatural, abrasive sweep up into the supersonic. It’s not just about increasing resonance: the ResEdge does an unusual, nasty thing to the tone, and used as a highpass it’s a really distinctive sound. I don’t think it would work as a consistent part of anybody’s tone for anything, but for that very reason it might be great as an unexpected move :)

Hope you like YNotHighpass, and I’m working on a whole bunch of more generally useful things that take longer to develop.

TL;DW: YNotLowpass is soft and smooth to nasty, edgy texture-varying filtering, no control smoothing.

YNotLowpass introduces a new way to internally distort filters, and a new control… Resonant Edge! The ‘normal’ position for this is around 0.1 on the control. If you make it less, you get a slightly asymmetrical distortion that lets you get really warm analog filter sounds, even when they’re resonant. If you crank it up, the Resonant Edge lets you go to very aggressive, glitchy sounds that are a lot more like circuit bending than bit-banging.

This is the alternate version of YLowpass, except without control smoothing. That means it’ll be slightly less CPU-hungry, and might be preferable for situations like use in VCV Rack at very small buffer sizes. These are also buying me some time to work on the upcoming ConsoleMC, which is beginning to take shape… and on a new update for ToTape, for which I’ve got an idea for a bias control. So, use YNotLowpass if you’d like slightly more CPU efficiency, if you run tiny buffers, if you are using it as a fixed filter sound, or if you want that ‘neuro’ glitchy zipper-noise sound, at which it’ll be really good since it already has an aggressively unnatural filter tone :)
