🧵 So, it turns out that TS-M1N1 by #GuitarML, which is apparently a sophisticated clone of the legendary TS-9 Tubescreamer pedal, does a pretty tubescreamer-like distortion.

However, on my studio PC is an old Xeon W-2140B which has a rather weak single-core performance and at 64 samples buffer, this clicks into plenty of xruns with this overdrive. (This machine has lots of multi-core power, but single core…)

Actually I am experimenting with a re-creation of my #bass #FX pedal board in #Carla #PluginHost.

So far I found an okayish #Guitarix Chorus (the old TAL 60 Chorus has too much latency), using my favorite reverb as Impulse Response, some Gate/EQ from LSP, and TAL Dub-X delay.

I don't know yet if this endeavor makes sense to me.

My motivation basically is the #VCVrack argument… being able to switch complete setups including all the patching.

However, compared to a bunch of pedals by tc Electronic, any computer, no matter which OS and plugins, is a vulnerable thing.

My Musical Crystal Cave interactive music & light art installed at Future Lab(s) Gallery in North Adams, MA as a part of their annual Glow Show collaborative tapestry.

Participants interact with the two levers on the wall which lets them "DJ" the artwork, independently controlling the generative rhythm and melody. Music is generated in real time with VCV Rack and animated as lights with TouchDesigner.
