DSP Modules

This page contains only DSP related SynthEdit modules (SEMs). The algorithms are tweaked to deliver the best performance as possible. This means that many parameters are not tweakable via pins. However, the important parameters can be, even if this sometimes means compromises in the performance. In this case the module is available twice.
All modules that can be found here have been taken from my open source project ‘Delphi ASIO & VST’. Feel free to download the original source code and experiment with it.
Despite being open source, the modules are currently not maintained any more.

The files are packed using 7z. Visit the homepage to download a free tool to extract the archives.

All DSP Modules

All modules that can be found below are bundled into one large SE module containing about 175 sub-modules. There are no examples included, but it can be useful for replacing several single modules by one large module as this module saves space due to common use of the code. It is updated less often then the other modules, but feel free to contact me if something is missing for your needs.

Audio File Oscillator

SEM AudioFileOscillator
Two audio file oscillators, that use any audiodata stored as WAV/AU/AIFF as an oscillator waveform.

Audio To RGB Converter

Audio to RGB
A very crazy idea to convert audio into an RGB value came into my mind, while working with the whole polyphase filter stuff. It’s far away from beeing sophisticated rocket science, but it is fun to play with this tools nevertheless. An example is included as well.

Barberpole Flanger

Barberpole
A “Barberpole” flanger implementation with up to 16 stages (more on request). The crossfade algorithm isn’t perfect yet, but this creates an interesting pitchshift effect, so I left it in.

Bass Enhancer

SEM Bass Enhancer
Some psychoacoustic Bass Enhancers.

Butterworth LP & HP Filters


Butterworth LP & HP filters (up to 64th order = 384dB/Oct). These filters are supposed to be used as static filters, but a special “automatable+” version is included as well, which allows to perform frequency modulations while maintaining a low CPU usage. The filter order may only be used statically though.

Chorus

Chorus

Dither & Noiseshaper

SEM DitherNoiseshaper
A Dither & Noiseshaper implementation with a fast gaussian dither and some unique noise shaping filters. The module is designed to run at 44100 Hz. The reason for this is, that the filters have to be recalculated for each sampling rate and I currently only did this for the 44.1 kHz case. If you consider using this module and you need other sampling rates as well, feel free to contact me.

Convolution


A convolution module for SynthEdit. Select a wave file with an impulse response, connect input and output and optionally choose the desired latency. The freely available code is entirely based on unoptimized open source code. It’s a bit slow, but free to use.
A faster version using the Intel Performance Primitives is available. In the current version it is between up to 10x faster (if you allow some latency). That version can be licensed for 99,90€. A demo version is available here.

Dynamics


This SE module contains 19 different dynamic processors (gates, limiters, compressors), that can be found in the Delphi ASIO & VST open source package. On request all these processors can be modified to support a sidechain input and more than one input/output channel for more complex settings.

Lightweight Dynamics

Lightweight Soft Knee Dynamics, based on some clever math tricks and psycho-acoustically optimized polynomes. Can be used for mono / stereo processing with a separate sidechain.

Polyhase Envelope and Hilbert Transform

Envelope
This module features a polyphase hilbert implementation that can be used to generate a good envelope.

Exciter

SEM Exciter
Simple Exciter class wrapped as SE module.

Fibonacci


Fibonacci binary sequence generator. You can adjust the order and additionally downsample the series to be able to use it as a unique waveform generator. You might also need to apply a lowpass filter in order to hear the low frequency details and to avoid damage to your speakers.

Basic Filters

sem-filters
The module contains 8 different types of biquad filters. You can find all the standard filters (lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch, allpass, low shelf, high shelf, peak) in here. Furthermore I added a filter featuring a universal shape control. This can change the filter type continously between lowcut, low shelf, peak, high shelf and high cut. It was part of my KVR Developer Chalenge entry of 2007.

Bode Frequency Shifter

SEM RingModulator
An implementation of a bode frequency shifter as SE module. Keep in mind that it’s not a pitch shifter. As the shift is linear (rather than logarithmic) the harmonics will loose their context and won’t be real harmonics anymore after the treatment.

HRTF 3D

HRTF-3D
Integrated HRTF convolution module added. Use this module for binaural stereo positioning. The HRTF file used is public domain and was measured at the IRCAM. Other HRTF sets can be found on the project’s homepage.
