Device Overview
| Name/Version: | JG.Delays 2.0.3 |  |
| Author: | pp | |
| Description: | NEW version 2 device with old features bettered and new features added. John Gibson's "Spectral Delay" Max/MSP patch (copyright John Gibson 2007) ported to M4L. A fixed-16-bands spectral delay with changeable frequency-crossovers and per band: gains, delays, feedbacks, pans controls - all storable via presets, in turn modulatable via Live automations etc. See device image for clearer explanation. Documentation and links to Gibson's original included in .amxd download. UPDATE: HERE IS VERSION 2… - many things fixed and new features added, including individual mutes per band and a bands-levels monitoring section (pre and post processing). - most changes are under the hood for better (and better sounding) code, but all in keeping with the spirit / design of the original John Gibson patch. - however this device is still a cpu hog, use with care. Comments very welcome as ever. Think of this '2.0.x' version as a quasi beta, although I have been using it successfully for a while. Disclaimer: spectral delays can seriously mess up your ears and speakers. It is advisable to always place a Live Limiter (or similar) after the effect (chain) - especially whilst using the 'random' functions. I have this device set up with a Limiter after it in an easy-to-recall 'Audio Effect Rack'. See device image for clearer explanation. LICENSE is for original patch maker, not pp |

| Edit: the presets ate midi-selectable, excellent. The morphing will take place instantly though, regardless of the preset-glide setting. (Just reporting back) |

| pp here: @AuralBee - glad you like it. to confirm - yes, my computer is so old and slow i cannot actually use the preset gliding 'live' without massive cpu jumps. this is why i intentionally chose to make the midi-automatable preset-selecting NOT go through the glide feature, but happen instantly. this is a limitation of the way the patch is coded - in a cpu intensive way. there are other ways to do all this. make sure you click on the "?" icon and read the help file - you will find web links to the original patch coder there, some links to other spectral delay examples and explanations of how to get around a couple of the limitations and why things are as they are. enjoy. |

| pp here: i have now added an on/off switch to the preset gliding function. default at start-up is 'off'. this way you can decide whether or not to go for the full cpu spikes. this now works with mouse clicking and/or automation/modulation. also new random function, etc... |

| Hey pp, me again :-) You are working hard & fast man. Latest version gives me no processed sound, parameters are moving, but only dry sound is audible. Selecting different quality makes no difference (but seems like an excellent idea!) |

| oh dear, humble apologies - i was trying to add too much too quick, very annoying of me. however @AuralBee (+others?), is it the "1.1" version you have? - that was the stupid version i screwed up and it lasted a few hours. version 1.2 should fix the 'no sound' issue and other things. please confirm / let me know. it is working here, but i will take another look and report back... |

| pp here: ok everyone --- download version 1.4... it actually... WORKS, all of the time. sorry about that. seems i was having troubles with the way m4l reads pfft~s inside of poly~s, and some other silly stuff that happens when freezing / etc. again, sorry. enjoy. and please feel free to feedback on usage / bugs etc... |

| hi robduro. technically it does not matter, but i keep all my devices organised as they are in live / mfl: 1. download from maxforlive.com 2. now move the '.amxd' file, called 'JG.SpectralDelay.amxd', TO your M4L AUDIO Effects folder. I.E. - [your Ableton Library]/Presets/Audio Effects/Max AUDIO Effect/... 3. Start Live and drop 'JG.SpectralDelay' into an AUDIO track... etc... |

| Great Device. Thanks for sharing. However, Everytime I close a live set or preset and re-open it this device randomizes all my parameters. Any suggestions on how to stop this??? |

| Hey It's nice!!! But would be even nicer if you could type in the Frequencies (CP's) exactly, without needing to turn the nob and get a numb hand getting that frequency right. Most of the time you don't get it, its mostly always 10 hz some time only 1 hz above the wanted one. That would be great, really do need that accurateness. Would do it myself but my skills aren't that good yet in max. Have a wonderful dream. Thanks again! In Lak'ech |

That preset glide thing is awesome too, but if I use longer glides it gets very processor hungry; does that happen with you too ?
I am totally incapable of programming, but do you think it would be possible to make the preset-selection midi-automatable ? In combination with the presetmorphing the idea alone makes me drool.
Sorry just dreaming aloud; thanks once again!
