JS Transformer
Hello, has anyone coded some transformer style saturation/distortion yet?
Something like that https://www.thehouseofkush.com/plugins/omega-458a ?
Thanks
Is someone interested in doing this?

Stillwell's badbuss mojo is somewhat a hint in that directions... well... sort of. There's a thread on GS about building a circuit using plugin components that is interesting in this regard.

This is pretty much exactly why I made Sidechain Logistic Distortion. Put your favorite LPF (I use ReaEQ) in front of it with the frequency as low as it goes and just a normal 6db/octave curve. Use the pin connectors so the output of the filter only goes to channels 3/4. Crank up detector gain and you should start to hear something similar to transformer saturation.

Assuming you want the result, this guy has some pretty amazing tape, transformer, tube and leveling amp emulation VSTs. I recently added the whole package to my suite of mastering plugins. Free!

If you're looking for the experience of designing and coding a transformer emulation, can't help you there...

As much as I love the Variety of Sound plugins... I don't think we should be recommending them to any new users at this point without a big "at your own risk" warning.
They're old, unmaintained, 32-bit only, and are known to have some major issues with being bridged to 64-bit systems. Even with Reaper's compatibility features turned on, one of them crashing can happily take down every VoS plugin in a session - and you can't fix it without reloading.

Solarfall,

Sort of...witti plugins are really cool. I found some great sounding saturation/compression/eq in that package..still nothing intended as a transformer saturator.

Well, i started using only reaper/js plugins during mixing for a while. I think Reaper can do a great job with its own tools.

Agreed. Plus, (for me) I’ve become so used to sliders that I can’t even use any 3rd party plugins with knobs...
edit: have you tried True Iron ? that one was pretty easy to reverse engineer and build with JSFX...

Totally, plus it's more of a "use your ears rather than your eyes" approach.

Didn't try that. Actually i'm really interested in jsfx programming, but i'm having a hard time since math is really complicated.

^ey-- you know,this was a feature draw i could also have got into--but having to learn the characters and api reaper uses for it made it a no go--simply cba+2xcomplex=missed opportunity for some cool user creations...
flowstone has the idea-modules to create-- that would have made jsfx a much more friendly place to make fx+utilities..like so>
that system uses ruby code--the idea is here for easier jsfx developings eh..?
make it easier and more will use it.?
sorry cannot help with request--but linked fx chains can be ok if not all in 1 unit/module.

The best idea I could find for transformer saturation was to integrate (low pass), saturate, then differentiate (hi pass). That's easy enough, but most simple ways will require makeup gain. In the end, it's not significantly different from the sidechain distortion that I mentioned above. I've been meaning to to make this into a single "black box" type plugin with maybe one slider, but ReaEQ is more efficient than any JS low pass, and I'm cool with using two plugs instead of one.

Yeah, i love the simplicity of flowstone. Hope this concept will be implemented in reaper one day
