The four effects that swing were still drawn as rows of numbers. Like
the Delay, the Saturation and the Limiter, each node now shows a device
of a fixed size. Its screen draws what it does over the first seconds
of a sound, and a light plays that in real time, over and over.
- One device for all four (ModulationPanel, ModulationFace and
modulationView), as KnobPanel is for Gain, Pitch, Mix and Pan. A short
description gives each its title, plate, buttons and knobs.
- Tremolo, 640x280 in cream: a wave its volume shapes, the volume as
its outline. It says DOWN TO 50%, EVERY 200 ms and DIPS -6 dB.
- Vibrato, 640x280 in plum: the pitch in semitones, cool below and warm
above. Under a wet below 1 the dry pitch stands beside it. It says
how late the voice is (LATE 0.93 ms).
- Phaser, 760x280 in mustard, and Flanger, 680x280 in steel blue: the
response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and under it a lane of the turn or the
delay over time. The response is drawn where the light is, so the
notches swirl and the comb jets. A comb finer than a column fills it.
- The light loops over 1, 2, 4 or 8 s, two LFO swings at least, for a
Flanger as long as its sweep takes to reach 20 ms. The face only
keeps the editor drawing while something swings and is heard.
- A Rate lamp beside each name goes from dark to lit with the swing.
- Nothing is listened to. The pictures use the worklets' own numbers:
lfoAt, vibratoSpeedUp (now exported from lfo.ts), the allpass chain
with its feedback, and the comb, reckoned at 48 kHz.
- Phaser and Flanger take 4 preset columns. Phased Pad was looked at
in a picture, nothing overlaps.
- Exported from nodes.ts: LFO_SHAPE, lfoShapeOf, TREMOLO_ROWS,
VIBRATO_ROWS, PHASER_STAGE_ROW and phaserStagesOf. FLANGER_MAX_MS is
exported from phaser.ts.
Decided here, as the request left the look open:
- A notch counts where the response falls below -3 dB, not some dB
under the loudest point. Feedback rings peaks far above 0 dB, and the
first rule counted 7 notches on a Phaser of 12 stages.
- Rate and Depth of Tremolo and Vibrato are big knobs, Wet is small.
Tests:
Unit modulation-view (stein2): 22 tests, new. Phaser and Flanger
give the dB of their worklets on a sine within 0.005 dB, the
Tremolo its samples, the Vibrato the pitch it reads at.
Counter-check: with the sign of the Phaser's feedback flipped in one
place, exactly the worklet test fails.
e2e 34 (atx): ALL PASSED, 142 checks, 4 new. Each device has its
size, its ports outside, a light that runs by itself, and a button
and a knob as one undo step each. Picking 8 stages on the Phaser
draws 4 notches.
Gate (atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 291 files, 4467 tests.
