A few weeks ago I found a bag with old #cassette tapes and discovered recordings from the early #90s mostly myself endlessly jamming on the #guitar. One riff was not even terrible, so I sampled it and made a track out of it in @ardour , with #geonkick , #surgext and a ton of other #FOSS plugins, all to participate in the @libremusicchallenge
Hope you enjoy it, not sure my past self would have approved...

Tape Treasure by MyLoFy • Audius

Recently I have re-discovered a big bag full of old cassette tapes. Some of them were full of endless guitar jam recordings done by myself in the early 90s. A few ideas weren't that terrible, so I recorded one riff in Ardour, then tuned and incorporated the sample into this track. So basically, I was jamming with my young self. Not sure I would have liked the end result back then, but it was fun. Done in Ardour 8 and 9 with the following plugins: CNT | TYPE | NAME 4 * LV2 ACE Compressor (stereo) (by Ardour Community) 2 * LV2 Dragonfly Hall Reverb (by Michael Willis and Rob vd Berg) 17 * LV2 LSP Parametric Equalizer x16 Stereo (by LSP LV2) 6 * VST3 Surge XT (by Surge Synth Team) 5 * LV2 x42 Instrument Tuner (by Robin Gareus) 1 * LV2 B.Choppr (by Sven Jaehnichen) 1 * LV2 DR-14 - Crest Factor Loudness Range Meter (Stereo) (by Robin Gareus) 1 * VST3 Wolf Shaper (by Patrick Desaulniers) 1 * LV2 x42-dpl - Digital Peak Limiter Stereo (by Robin Gareus) 1 * LV2 LSP Compressor Stereo (by LSP LV2) 1 * LV2 ZL Equalizer (by ZL) 4 * LV2 AIDA-X (by AIDA DSP) 1 * LV2 LSP Sidechain Multiband Compressor Stereo x8 (by LSP LV2) 1 * LV2 EBU R128 Meter (by Robin Gareus) 5 * Lua ACE High/Low Pass Filter (by Ardour Community) 1 * LV2 GxTuner (by Hermann Meyer) 1 * VST2 Galactic (by airwindows) 1 * VST3 Spectral Compressor (by Robbert van der Helm) 1 * LV2 QDelay (by Tilr) 1 * LV2 BrightAmbience3 (by Hannes Braun) 1 * LV2 Dragonfly Plate Reverb (by Michael Willis) 2 * LV2 ZaMultiCompX2 (by Damien Zammit) 9 * LV2 LSP Parametric Equalizer x16 Mono (by LSP LV2) 1 * LV2 Odin2 (by TheWaveWarden) 2 * VST3 Airwindows Consolidated (by Airwindows) 2 * LV2 ACE Expander (by Ardour Community) 3 * LV2 ACE Compressor (by Ardour Community) 1 * LV2 ToTape5 (by Hannes Braun) 1 * LV2 Geonkick (by Iurie Nistor)

The start of the Geonkick kit redesign. Still rough, but this is what’s happening so far. Choke group selection and other useful kit features will be added. #percussion #drumkit #geonkick
The #Geonkick Mastodon account has been moved under the Quamplex account.

Geonkick Development: The DSP part of the humanizer related to key velocity is working. Now moving on to the UI for its parameters. The timing humanizer will be a bit more complex to implement, but we hope to get it done.

@FeloniousPunk i use a arch linux system with Gnome as my desktop environment. For a DAW I also use Reaper installed via pacman. The AUR is pretty handy to download my plugins like: #Vitalium #geonkick or the CHOW plugins. Not to forget SWS and the reaper pachage manager for various jsfx plugins.
It is quite a surprise that the latest Geonkick binary has been downloaded around 3,000 times since March, with 2,252 for Windows and 741 for GNU/Linux. Even the Geonkick User Guide as a PDF has been downloaded 505 times. #geonkick #percussive #synths

Huh, sounds like I finally made some actual progress towards the kind of dirty kick I want to make with #Ardour and #geonkick – turns out the secret was to just do everything with brownian noise.  

This is literally just two layers of brownian noise with highpass filters – one for the dirty piep (like in a piepkick, but a bit lower freq) in the beginning and the other for the kick itself.

Fair warning: It's fucking loud, because it should be. :)

Moving Redkite To Graphics Widgets

To begin with a small story: when version 1.0 of Geonkick was developed, its GUI was based on Qt, and it was only the standalone version...
