Stretch weaver drolo fx AXOLOTI patch?

#1

Hi there,

it's kinda difficult to get a drolo fx stretch weaver pedal
these days, since it is a rare pedal, that only now & then
= bein' sold in batches of i guess 10 - 15 , which is okay of course ...

so I wanted to ask if someone had been experimenting with
stereo or dual mono SIDECHAINING triggering parameters like freeze delay
stretch, grain stuff etc like this pedal can do wonderfully

have a check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT1OnPyVrbE

it's pure dsp inside, so i'd figure out, not a 100% simulation/emulation
but something based on sidechaining would be cool to experiment with

what you think ?

Do not know this specific pedal but after looking at the video, I am thinking it is based on envelope followers that triggers the effects. There are envelope followers in the library.

I think you need to just build a sampler that has the functions you are looking for and then simply build the envelope follower interaction into the sampler later on. Keep things separated to begin and then when you got the functions you need, build them together.

Check Help -> library -> community -> gao -> sample -> rockafella
It's an old patch using envelope follower object as explained by @jaffasplaffa
It use sample loop principle to stretch a recorded sample (if you know puredata, it's B14.sampler.rockafella.pd patch in audio tutorial section).

in Help -> library -> community -> gao -> sample -> spTimeExpansion
a similar principle but using slice recorded with beatslicer object (see http://www.katjaas.nl/beatdetection/beatdetection.html)

Hope it helps you.

Rockafella is using envelope followers? Not the real version, I build it many times, both in Axo world and also in Pd. And just checked your version, I don't see any envelope followers. But yeah, it would probably still be a good starting point for his project :slight_smile:

Didn't know that your beat slicer objects were based on Katjaas work. I am a big fan of her work, so I need to check your objects out now, hehe :slight_smile:

BTW; is the beatslicer only for live input?

Not the object but the help patch. I'm not pretty clear, sorry.

Haha, yes, beatslicer_demo patch (in contrib patch repo) is just a modest tentative to copy Katjass "slice jockey". But it’s hard to do as well as she.

#6

Ahh I think I need to try it out then hehe :slight_smile:

Slice jockey is one of the most fun audio thingies that I ever played around with. Very good :slight_smile:

#7

I'm totally agree !
On my soundcloud, I have old "live session" with a personal tuned slice jockey :

Long hours, turning buttons and making noise in front of the microphone ! :smile:

Cool :slight_smile:

Is this made with Axoloti or in Pure data?

#9

Puredata, it's just before the Axoloti kickstarter campaign.

I am having some issues with Rockafella example (Help -> library -> community -> gao -> sample -> rockafella). After playing for a while it crashes.

Someone else is experimenting this problem?

I don't have that problem.
The message you get does not give any information about the error, because it only shows that the communication with the card is broken. So it's kind of hard to help you. :confused:
How often does this happen?
For this patch, I didn't write any code, I just use factory objects. :thinking:
I don't know where that's coming from, but I'll try to look into it. Could be a problem if the recording is too long for the size of the table.

PS : Help->Library->community->gao->sample->spTimeExpansion is a very similar object

Thanks Jerome. I didin´t have too much time to try ir but I have been playing around and It looks to be stable now. Thanks for your help and work!
