Perhaps that idea could even be combined into one plugin by having a 'subtract' drop-down box (with no controls, no graph)?

Cheers!
Yeah I mean, basically they're just parametric EQ's with a bit of an unusual shape and phase distortion. I saw these diagrams and was just curious how they would sound. Besides, it was a nice practice to set up a little script that converted the analog filter expressions to BLT digital ones, and before I knew it I had a JSFX again.

Hmm, invert? You mean pass the audio through the tonestack, then subtract the filtered result from the incoming audio? I mean, I can do that, no problem. Might get some phase issues though (comb-filter like effects) as tone stacks result in phase distortion.

OT: there is a ":" in front of your Author name for Hackey Trackey which prevents it from being grouped with the rest of your work.
Cool and thanks for the heads up. I will edit that asap.

It probably isn't as interesting for Filther as I thought but its nice you checked it with your tools. Did you hear what I meant about it? This strange atomized/pulverized/vaporized distortion? It sounds like 100 tiny layered amounts of distortion. Have no idea how to describe it better.

Anyway. Thanks for taking a look.

And now I will ping pong between your threads.
I heard some strong high-mid boosting and mild squashing, but I only ran it on a saturated 808 and then only test tones. Any input source I should go with? How much do you drive it in your audio sample? Maybe you have a short with/without sample for me?

I mean, it could just be that specific gain curve. I mean, what I can do is measure it, fit it with a little model and put it in a jsfx and see if it replicates that effect for you.


Short term plans:
- Change the compressor time axes to logarithmic, but still using a lower bound which prevents artefacts for low frequencies.
- Add a separate version named unsafe tight compressor here, which will not have the lower bound (that one you can use for your distortion Eliseat).
- Add the compressor to Squashman
