Title: PD Space Guitar Synthesizer BETA 1.1.0 is online
Post by: PD FX on December 17, 2020, 06:17:15 AM
Hi there!
PD Space Guitar Synthesizer for ipad directly translates your sound into square or saw tooth waves, without tracking.
Basically it multiplies anything you throw at it into a synth sound. The process itself is ofcourse not *that* simple..
It is polyphonic by nature, and can morph between your "normal" guitar harmonics and the added harmonics.

PD Space Guitar Synthesizer BETA 10 ( 1.1.0. ) for iPad
1) make sure you've installed "testflight" on your ipad (free download  from the appstore)
2) then click on the following link
https://testflight.apple.com/join/gHe6ZWUc


General:
-7 example patches are included, saving is disabled. App will however remember last settings when opened.
Please mind your ears though: the  builtin amp will allways limit the signal, but if you disable the amp, sound might get louder.
I hope the app is inspiring for you, and I am open to suggestions: my main goal was to
1 - keep the thing manageable in terms of numbers of parameters and such
2 - keep the playfeel like a normal guitar as much as possible.
3 - keep CPU reasonably low.
4 - and ofcourse, most important: expand the guitar soundhorizon into deep space!
**This BETA is provided as is, no warranty is given**

I just gave it a whirl on macOS. Quite fun!

One thing. It doesn't seem to accept mono input. All assignable 'ins' are stereo pairs and it only accepts audio from the first input in each pair...i.e. from the Left channel.

tnx for the feedback!
The stereo pair behaviour is a bit of a mystery, you can also select just channel 2, checking on macos here.

You're right. When I loaded it last night all I could see were stereo pairs.
But now I'm seeing individual mono inputs.
Maybe somebody slipped something into my cup of tea...  :o

ok.. hallucinations may occur as side effects using Space Guitar, but those are mild, temporary and should not lead to extended disabilities

Wanted to try so much but not luck.

When I try any "audio device type" I always get the same "error when trying to open audio device".
There is not asio audio driver support?  asio is not listed as an audio device type.
Im using a Fireface800 audio card. Maybe it does not support windows audio or directsound driver type, not sure about it, I use asio drivers or WDM all the time.
Hope you have a solution for me or better yet, support asio in order to get the lowest audio buffer which I thing is very needed for this purpose.
If not possible to run in windows please let my know when is available to try in IOS.

HI Jassy, thanks for the feedback!
See original post for link to version 1.1 with ASIO support.
Title: Re: PD Space Guitar Synthesizer BETA 1.1.0 is online
Post by: jassy on December 18, 2020, 09:14:42 AM
Asio support works perfect at 64 samples, very low cpu hit.
This thing is wonderful, dont know the tech but the feeling is very similar to the Sy1000 dinamic synth, although maybe less sophisticated synth section in some areas, but tracking is astounding, ultrafast and not a single glitch, really amazing.
Its only stand alone so I hope you can make it vst and auv3 in order to integrate with other tools and effects and specially in everyone workflow, thats very important I think.

Bugs?:
Although I can see some cabinet wavs, nothing loads. Tried almost all.
Reverb: the same, "in the silo" keeps loaded but i think it does not work (nothing happens when I move the Level pot) Also I cant load other wavs.

Suggestions:
Some adsr for the amplitude and filter would enhance the versatility a lot. Maybe even a compressor to achieve more sustain (I play box guitars which tend to have less sustain).
I see you have a great background doing guitar synth researcha and exaphonic processing, so a version with exaphonic process would be amazing.

Questions:
I can't get this morphing effect and touch sensitivity you show here, what parameters should I control?  -> https://www.facebook.com/100000545724509/videos/4033172093377608

thanks Jassy.. that is really good feedback!
Glad to hear it performs well, you're the first feedbacker on windows. ;)
-The labels "cabinet" and "reverb" can be hilited (they turn yello then), that powers up the IR function: maybe that is what your are missing?
EDIT: cabinet/reverb is broken on windows. i'll fix that ofcourse. A file path issue.
-In amp section "gain" can be turned up: the amp works as a clean limiter as long as you keep overdrive on 0. You'll get lots of sustain: I'm also a touch guitar player, I took care of that.

The dynamic filter is chosen with "off lowpass hipass bandpass" selector.
The "soft cutoff" is the default filter tone, the "hard cutoff" is the target when playing louder. "sense" controls how fast you can get to that hard cutoff.
If a cutoff is at 0, the sound will be focused on the fundamental of your guitarsound. E.g: A cutoff setting of "12" will concentrate on the freuencies an octave above the fundamental.
The fundamental is relative to the pitchshift.  The "tone" knob next to the octave knob is a steady filter, that way youc use the dynamic high pass without gogin deaf from the trebly sound..

I'll make a tutorial vid on how the filters work the coming days.

ADSR: been there, tried it multiple ways, but it does not give a nice feel with the DSP technique used here. The "slow gear" effect is perfectly doable, but it kind of isnt needed: when you learn to work the filters, you'll notice that it gives lot of swelling as well..
For the future I plan on adding more of a traditional ADSR synth in that respect, but that needs other techniques in place to work the way I think it should work. In the meantime, this setup has a consistency with clear limits. Better having clear limits than stuff that does not work.
The tone character set now is limited to square and saw: I will add wavetable synthese in the future.
Square and saw are the basic forms that guitarsynthesis starts with: that is also a reason I started with just that.

Windows Version Beta 1.2 is up and has working cabinet & reverb. See original post.
note: The reverb is a CPU hog, it is an off the shelf function which i didnt spend much time on yet.

Wanted to link those 2 videos, very musical and show the fantastic potential of this guitar synth, maybe others does not have seen it:
https://www.facebook.com/experimentalPaul/videos/661250804571660
https://www.facebook.com/experimentalPaul/videos/194670682279398
Hope you can add those presets to the beta to try it.
Title: Re: PD Space Guitar Synthesizer BETA 1.1.0 is online
Post by: jassy on December 18, 2020, 06:33:27 PM
Tried the IOS version, it has AUv3 and it works beautiful in AUM, its wonderful to insert it with other effects and synths, heaven.
Also the windows version solved the problem loading presets in cabinet and reverb.
Now that I start to understand the filters and the dynamic control this thing is sounding much better. This guitar synth is very promising.
For now I think I will continue to work with the ios version until a plugin vst is released for windows, because I am much more comfortable using it as a plugin inside my habitual daw or host. Anyway I can test anything if you need.
A question, there is any midi control option or its planned?
The improvements in the oscillator department (add wavetable etc) and ADSR you mentioned sounds very promising. A simple attack parameter like the one you show in one of your videos would be enough in the meantime.

Title: Re: PD Space Guitar Synthesizer BETA 1.1.0 is online
Post by: PD FX on December 19, 2020, 02:21:48 AM
tnx jassy!
Remote control is a bit confusing: a standalone needs to react to input midi CC ofcourse. But AU plugs are mostly automated via host automation.
In AUM and audiobus, the midi is not forwarded to loaded effects. One has to bind AU params to incoming midi CC's.. A bit tedious, on the other hand a bigger scope for the host.

If Space Guitar is mostly used as a plugin, I wont take the effort to do much about midi cc input, since AUM and AB will not feed midi to this effect. users have to use parameter automation from the host.

If people like to use the app as standalone, the story is very different: in that case I'll provide cc to parameter bindings.
the idea is to get the latency as low as possible: as a standalone it will run on buffersize 64 on most ipads. But AUM and AB mostly require larger buffersizes, hence more latency...
Then there is patch switching issue : the standalone has instant patch switches on midi PC. this is allready enabled in the beta.

So the beta phase is also to have a survey of what peeps want the most: a extra fast standalone with midi CC & PC functions OR just use the AUv3 in the known hosts.
if the demands are even, I have to make sure both methods work evenly.

Post by: jassy on December 19, 2020, 09:42:18 AM
Thanks for your clarifications.
Yes I see that PD SGS expose their parameters to the host so I can control from here. Great.
Has I said I prefer to use it as a plugin. I can run AUM at 64samples or 128 if there is so much load, to me its fast enough.

ipad: ios 12 and up
macOS: 10.11 and up
windows: don't know really.. I compiled it against the windows 10 sdk, I suspect it runs also in windows 8
should run on any computer with i3 cpu or better
I doesnt harm to just download the beta and try.
You need an audio interface with suitable ASIO driver installed

Post by: PD FX on December 21, 2020, 01:24:06 PM
Beta 2 is up for macos and windows, links in original post

-Dynamic detune is now an option, as choice: trem/vib/detune
  The attack to the left will  fade out the effect, attack to the right will fade in the effect.
   Detune only uses "depth" as extra parameter.

-Trem/vib/detune use a new dynamic detector: the dynamic function now properly retriggers, which means it also works when (re=picking single notes within chords

-dynamic filter now has "attack". The "hard cutoff" settings can be delayed by this knob, so you can make a crossfade from the 2 cuttoff settings at the notes start.

-Sustain knob is added, and pushes the signal against a limit to get more sustain. This works on a normal overall manner to preserve the color of the sound. The resonance and number of harmonics are not calculated in the limit, so it is not a real flat amplitude output function! (we have to test to see whether this is good or bad)

Have fun!

Its great to see that you are improving the sound palette with new synth parameters, its very important in order to have a broader sound.
Maybe a dual oscilator version with more wave forms, detuning, etc could improve vastly the range of sounds, not sure if this new "detuning" is around that.
Im already getting very solid and musical synth tones, this thing is very interesting, I hope the synth guitar community here can have a moment and try this contribution, I think it is promising and is really close to the latest guitar synthesizer advances achieved by Roland with their recent SY line and other companies.
I will try this new version in the next days and maybe I will record and post something.
If you update the IOS version please lets us know.

Post by: jassy on January 03, 2021, 06:02:45 PM
Had time to try the new Beta 2 version, and wow, this thing is getting more and more interesting.
I think in some aspects it's one of the best guitar synths I've tried and I've tried a lot of them. The tracking is fabulous, zero errors and very expressive and musical. The sound of the oscillators is pure and lacks the dirthiness of others. Maybe the range of sounds is a bit limited but it probably will be expanded.
In the Windows version I have found a nasty bug: when I move the pitch whammy fader all the way up there is a horrible noise at maximum volume that almost breaks my speakers. Otherwise this whammy effect sounds great when it works well, is there a way to control it via midi?
I wish you could make a VST version to be able to integrate it into many hosts and workflows.
About the IOS version: I have tried to review the possibilities of automating by midi parameters but I see that they all indicate a range of 0-> 1, is this correct? for example I want to control raising or lowering an octave, how could I do it? Also say that I see parameters that are not in the plugin like attack, hold, decay, sustain, etc.
Im really excited about it, will you consider to make a exaphonic version? I think I read something about that in your FB page. With the gp10 and Sy1000 and others devices this would be a dream come true.
Congratulations for your good work and happy new year!

Had some time with Beta 2. Mac here with 10.14.
I observe that even if my audio card is setup correctly, having said yes to Mic access now puts the system in low volume feedback like an elicopter hoovering on me. In any case I can play. I feed the PD with a clean dry Guitar signal. Tried all 5 position, Strat Alnico V and good tracking and interesting sound options I will try more and report. Good tracking so far.
I am also a Zebra / Zebrify user. What are the differences?

Hope it helps.

Sure Paul will come here to answer, meanwhile there are my unscientific comments  :)
It seems to me that this software transforms the guitar signal into waveforms to which it then applies filters and other synthesis components. It is a similar method to the one that Roland uses in their products like the recent SY range, where I think Space Guitar competes very worthily.
Zebra / zebrify (how I would like to be able to find guitar synth presets or a tutorial on how to make them with this vsti) and others like Helix, AxFx / Fm3, works in a different way, probably with a similar principle to that used by the original GR300 (why Roland did not move this system to digital is something I do not understand).
My last experience with this other approach is with the FM3 , I just got one and  I think the guitar synth result are fantastic, a fabulous tracking and hardly any glitches, the synth sounds and works fabulous, a thousand times better than the Ultra or AX8 I've had.
I hope Paul can enlighten us about the method used by him, its possibilities and future and surely he can talk about the other alternatives, since he is one of the greatest experts around here.

To me Zebrify tracks great, en pair with Jam Origin using Deep Expressor. I am not obtaining great results with Jam Origin triggering VST (Guitar to MIDI) but it might be a setup thing. Need to learn to use it at its best.

However... you asked... here pls find attached some Presets I made with Zebrify!   8) If you search on the forum you should find an old post of mine about it and an old song..
You should have enough to understand how it works. The trick is to mute the lane with the OSC or you'll have a constant sound from it then mix your guitar with the Combo or Shaper or XMF so in a nutshell, your guitar will alter the OSC Wave based on its attach and characteristics. Have a read to Zebra Manual to understand the basics. Those are applied to Zebrify. Feed the beast with a DRY signal.
Hope it helps, I'm happy to give back to this forum of great people!

Thank you, I will try.
I probably even participated in your old thread, but I never got to understand Zebra's guitar synth properties, even though I have this synth and it sounds huge, I always end up using presets, because it's a pretty complex synth and my time is very limited.
As I have told you Space Guitar is very promising, I hope Paul can solve the problems you have and you can use it to its full extent. The tracking is superb.
It is a pity that Midi Guitar does not work well for you, it is a fantastic software much superior in tracking and reliability than the Roland GTM and almost at the same level as FTP, not only does the conversion speed matter, the reliability is almost more important.

I saw that you are a Zebra owner so :

Copy the zebrify patches in the relevant folder
Place zebrify into an audio track of your daw
Enable audio on for that track. I have Ableton so press record or monitor in.
That's it, you have it.
You have to feed a dry guitar to that channel, avoid preprocessed sound.

In my post I told to mute the osc lane inside zebrify. Sorry I didn't specify.
Zebrify patches won't work in zebra. You only need zebrify place I to an audio channel of your daw.

Let me know, happy to help.

Tnx guys for the pointers here!
Space Guitar uses resynthesis without tracking: there might be other apps and pedals that use a simular approach, But the Roland stuff is mostly tracking, afaik they never use non-tracking methods in their synths.
Tracking has the advantage of having a clear synth tone, non-tracking has the advantage of having a full response to any noise that comes in: e.g. you can scrape the string with your pick and Space Guitar will make a synthy representation of that. A tracker will just block there, or make random garbage, because it can not find the rootnote in the noise.
Non-tracking synths works best with simple waveforms: that is why there is only square and saw: they work as good extensions for the original spectrum.
So if you want to know what approach a direct guitarsynth uses, scrape the string with your pick...

In case you didn't know: I also produced the Expressor in MIDI Guitar as a freelancer for jamOrigin. The expressor is an in between thing: it uses the midi for filtering the sustained sound and separating the pluck. It is way more forgiving than pure midi, since it sidetracks anything that is not covered in the midi signal into the pluck channel..

I'm preparing a new beta release: an app that will feature direct piano sound. that ofcourse uses tracking and will be fully polyphonic ofcourse. Hopefully I can release the iOS version of the apps in a few weeks. The macos/windows version release is unsure, since I dont know how to sell them properly there, especially on windows.

Thank you!  Very Useful.
Just another remark: Ableton Live 10 sees the PD as a plug-in but if I try to load it I am told that it cannot. Maybe this is a wanted feature at this stage of development but I guess good to know.

these betas are standalone only, no idea why any app would think that it is a plugin, unless you placed the .exe in the plugin folder on windows  or you use macosx, where the standalone vs. AU status is very interwoven.

Had some time with Beta 2. Mac here with 10.14.
I observe that even if my audio card is setup correctly, having said yes to Mic access now puts the system in low volume feedback like an elicopter hoovering on me. ..

Strange, I did not add a helicopter...What audiosettings are you using?
note: the beta only is made for 44 or 48khz samplerate.
settings in app are made via top right "audio config.." button

You are right there's no helicopter setting...but if you move the bar on the right you have one and it lasts for some time.

hope it helps

ah ok! that is the whammy bar. Doesn't it return to the center position when you let go of it?
You drag it up or down an octave, after release ot should return to center.

It comes back but not as fast to be identified at first glance as a whammy bar (maybe the slowness to the center position might be good for a parameter in the future). The pitch bender wheel is faster on my Keyboard Controller. I thought it was the pitch of the synth.
That is why I moved it up & down several times. Hence the 'Marine One' effect.
You can use this as a 'Monkey Test'  :'(
A part from that Tracking is good and I played without changing any control. Sound is synthie but not 'that' synthie. It has a character on its own.
I like it FWIW.  ;D

Hope it helps

Space Guitar uses resynthesis without tracking: there might be other apps and pedals that use a simular approach, But the Roland stuff is mostly tracking, afaik they never use non-tracking methods in their synths.
Tracking has the advantage of having a clear synth tone, non-tracking has the advantage of having a full response to any noise that comes in: e.g. you can scrape the string with your pick and Space Guitar will make a synthy representation of that. A tracker will just block there, or make random garbage, because it can not find the rootnote in the noise.
Non-tracking synths works best with simple waveforms: that is why there is only square and saw: they work as good extensions for the original spectrum.
So if you want to know what approach a direct guitarsynth uses, scrape the string with your pick...
Thanks for your explanation, very appreciated.
Seems that Roland has made various attempts to approach guitar synth. Correct me if I am wrong since I am not an expert like you.
On the one hand, the GR range is GTM pitch tracking detection, although I think we all think that it has not evolved much in many years and its not the greatest, FTP and GM2 suprpasses it widely.
But there is the VG range with its HRM, which I understand is a type of resynthesis as used by Space Guitar, right? (also present in the GR55, GP10 and SY1000.)
Finally, although it was really the first!, there is the method used by the original GR300 (kind of analog pitch tracking?), Which despite being the fastest, most expressive and natural and yet strangely Roland  has not continued to use this technique on his many guitar synthesizer devices that he has subsequently manufactured. Was it impossible to transfer it to the digital world? I dont know, probably the emulation of the GR300 present in the VG99 and later GP10 and Sy1000 is the closest to this technique that we can know at present from Roland, although I am not sure that it is really the same method as the original GR300.
Said that it seemed to me that the resynthesis system of the Space Guitar seems to be very similar to that used in the recent Roland Sy units and I think it compares very favorably.

I'm preparing a new beta release: an app that will feature direct piano sound. that ofcourse uses tracking and will be fully polyphonic ofcourse. Hopefully I can release the iOS version of the apps in a few weeks. The macos/windows version release is unsure, since I dont know how to sell them properly there, especially on windows.
Wow that sounds very interesting, so you mean a similar system to MG2? It's a new beta of Space Guitar or a new software? Anyway I look forward to trying it. hope that does not mean that Space Guitar is relegated.

I saw that you are a Zebra owner so :

Copy the zebrify patches in the relevant folder
Place zebrify into an audio track of your daw
Enable audio on for that track. I have Ableton so press record or monitor in.
That's it, you have it.
You have to feed a dry guitar to that channel, avoid preprocessed sound.

In my post I told to mute the osc lane inside zebrify. Sorry I didn't specify.
Zebrify patches won't work in zebra. You only need zebrify place I to an audio channel of your daw.

Let me know, happy to help.

Cheers
Pasha

Now it works, my mistake was confussing it with zebra and zebralette, zebrify is another thing, just to process input signals I never use it.
And wow its wonderful, tracks very well and the sound is, wel its U-he, there is not other like this developer, their synths have life like no other.
Not sure what method it uses, its not GTM not resynthesis... similar to the original GR300? it seems, the fact is that it tracks amazing.  It reminds me to the method used by Fractal Audio, Helix, etc.
Thanks for your presets, very good ones here!. Maybe it deserves is own thread so not to mess up this topic.

Tnx!
Space Guitar and the Direct Piano thingy will be in the iOS appstore as very affordable teaser apps, that help me build up a organic reach to the people that love such stuff. There will be a introductory price for it, and when there is good response to it, I'll develop them further. I need to split up the apps, to have some indication of what sells best: if I make a few good selling items, I can spend more time on the stuff I love the most: inventing new sounds.
The Direct Piano thingy is not like MG2, there is no midi output and the focus is on full inspiring playability. There is a big difference there: a sound descriptor is not a midi note, I focus on sound, and that is only possible without the burden of midi.

**iOS only**
PD Space Guitar Synthesizer 1.0.3 BETA
Mainly bugfix update, 1 new feature in Amp.

Bugs fixed:
- Bluetooth MIDI now should work
- the whammy bar to the right of the screen now should work properly.

New feature:
- the amp now can switch the order of comp->drive to drive->comp.
The new Drive->comp mode has more clean sustain, which is often very nice for synth sounds.

I'll make a how to vid about how to program your own space sounds soon.
Have fun!

PD Space Guitar BETA 1.0.8 for Ipad is out!


  • New engine: massively improved picking response and latency.
  • Added Drive waveform, TONE knob controls the amount of spectral overdrive. It morphs your guitar from clean to polyphonic squarewaves.
    With Tone set to 0 you basically get a clean pitch shifter ( note: the filter then has nothin to do: the filter only works on the added harmonics!)
  • The Noise knob in the filter section is now way more musical
  • New Detune method is less CPU intensive and much more usefull.
  • Range now lets you limit Space Guitar's frequency band: e.g. if you set it to 52, it will use the signal upto your E on your 4th string.
  • The internal buffersize is now equal to the audio interface/host setting. This will in many cases lead to better CPU performance and less latency. The most CPU intensive are the Cabinet and Reverb, which are stock functions, and not particularly optimised: when using Space Guitar as a plugin, it is therefore recommended to use a bus reverb in your host.

Known Issues:

  • Small ticks in the sound occur when you bend strings. I'll even that out in the next version.
  • Currently the filter noise knob will not work in "drive" mode.
  • I did not yet include example presets for the new Drive Range & Detune options

Tried it and its an even better unique guitarsynth that plays and sounds so great, very musical and powerful sounds. Dont think there are many other alternatives soft or hardware at this level.
The new Drive waveform is amazing and does a game of sounds and timbres very musical.
The playing experience is very good, hope the people in this forum could know it.
I see you abandoned win/osx version... no good news if you ask me. At least we can be sure that there will finally be a commercial product on IOS? I say this because I would not want to work creating my sounds and that at the end of the trial period the product would not have continuity.

I had to shrink the dev to just iOS to make it manageable for poor lonesome me: sofar I can not assign all my time to it, so I have to concentrate to preserve good quality.
The app will definitely go commercial, on iOS first, it should then buy me time to roll it out on win/macos.

So I had some time tonight to try it and it's great, really great! I could imagine this as a hardware pedal that would give the SY300 a run for its money, the polyphony is very good. The latency is spot on too, with no real lag even on an iPad.

It would be amazing to have more oscillators to play with so you could stack them up and have some LFOs too, but I know your pressed for time. I'd definitely buy this when it comes out in the app store

I agree, looks like a fun guitar to own. I made that suggestion because it would be helpful to hear a review from a trusted source and who knows what they are doing.

I'm actually thinking about selling off a few guitars and one of my GR300's with a G505 to fund one of these if it works as advertised.

Also looking forward to sound demo's of this space guitar synth.

I observe that even if my audio card is setup correctly, having said yes to Mic access now puts the system in low volume feedback like an elicopter hoovering on me. In any case I can play. I feed the PD with a clean dry Guitar signal. Tried all 5 position, Strat Alnico V and good tracking and interesting sound options I will try more and report. Good tracking so far.
I am also a Zebra / Zebrify user. What are the differences?

Hope it helps.

The macos and win betas our outdated and not supported anymore. For the time being only iOS ands where on beta 8 there.

Beta 10 will include
-drop split : octave down under a certain note. That works kind of cooler that adding a bass note..
-hold:  real piano style pedal
-a new filter mode where the cuttoff frequencies are "absolute" vs. the note relaive setting which was default now.
drop split and hold are used in this little vid, the sound is 100% synthesized here.

Higher frequencies are prone to decay faster in the natural world:  I added a frequency depended decay, so you dial in a more natural decay sound.
(its a passive piezo here, it hums a bit)

A first glimpse at the new presetmanager in upcoming PD  Space Guitar BETA 1.1.
Instead of having to fumble with menu popups and large lists with small fonts, I chose to have a floorboardlike layout, making it easy to organise sounds.
I'm optimising the filters now to keepup with  the new level of hifi that this app now features and making presets while doing so.

A liittle noodle with dropsplit and piano sustain mode
the hold  function can work like a normal hold pedal, holding the sound which was sounding at the moment of the pedal press and it can also continuesly refresh itself: that is the auto hold.
At a certain pluck treshold, the hold notes then will be the refreshed. this gives the piano/harp effect.
I have a question though: is this the first guitar pianopedal ever? I couldn't find antoher pedal or app that can do this so far..

PD Space Guitar Beta 1.1 is up for apple review!
Due to be released to the beta users soon
This is a big update, with lots of new features:

Small hickups and bugs are to be expected: the filter system is not in its final form. the attack knob has a misleading name now: it actually is a decay from the peak

Excellent stuff, just updated, not had a chance to check it out yet. Will do tomorrow.
Quick question - does the pedal sustain on the remote tab need a midi CC? Or can it be switched on without if the CC is set to off?

just click the "hold" and it will work like triggered by CC. Set the authold to aabout -30dB, and your good to go.
This system also alllows host automation, so it is a 3-way system: you can do all remote sliders by hand, by CC or by host.
This is important for having good remote control: there are functions in the remotes that superseed simple straight parameter assignements via the host.  And ofcourse in standalone, CC and manual are the only options.

Setting up a hold pedal by foot in Space Guitar is easy:
1) make sure your midi footcontroller is enabled for input in the config screen
2) open the REMOTE tab, and set the HOLD cc to the CC that your footpedal transmits
3) the Auto Hold knob Level determines whether or not sound is refreshed while holding. Keep it on 30 dB for a normal hold. Setting it to about -30dB will make it behave like a piano sustain.

The HOLD button will go on and off according your footpedal. In the interface, however, it works like a toggle. So you can save a preset with the HOLD function allready enabled, which is very handy if you havent got a floorpedal.

WOW!!

Not only is this my favorite ipad app ever ALL CATEGORIES - I just did a loop with 3 Space Guitar tracks and wanted to screen capture this loop with Funky Drummer (since I couldn't export my drum pattern as an audio file) so I disabled the soundcard to do the screen capture - then I opened Cubasis and started jamming to the loop again and came up with an new idea with the Space Guitar and recorded it - All of a sudden I was like, hold on - WTF?!?! My soundcard is disabled?!? How did that synth part actually get recorded?

I realised I had recorded my electric guitar UNPLUGGED with the ipad mic(!) - and it still sounds amazing!!! Haha!
Hats off - best app ever! :)

HI Silas,
yes, Space Guitar coupled with MG2 kind of makes a rather complete system.
macOS version is possible in the mearer future: if I can roll out the app securely (apple's appstore makes copy protection kind of unnecessairy) without having too much ado with support, there is no reason why not. Windows,Linux & Android might provide higher volumes of possible customers, but also many problems with latency and audio driver issues. I can not support that, being a lone developer. That'd be something for the far future.

Since you are a lone developer and probably very busy the following suggestion for Space Guitar is something that can be implemented later on, if you feel like it and have the time:
The possibility of creating new patches by clicking on a "RANDOM" button -
Just like the Boss SY-300 blender function creates patches from randomizing. :)

HI Folks,
PD Space Guitar BETA 1.2.1 is out!
Due to legal dangers I had to build a new engine, so that took some time...
The guitars spectrum is now more central, but it also provides a whole lot of synthiness.
Bass guitar and/or lower tunings are now also supported by means of a latency knob: 0.2 is normal for gutiar, about 0.5 works nice for polyphonic bass.

Title: Re: PD Space Guitar Synthesizer BETA 1.1.0 is online
Post by: PD FX on September 10, 2022, 05:22:59 AM
The combination of slow attack and polyphonic dynamic filter gives a lot of expressive room: soft plucks result in synthy dark tones here, louder plucks result in a more guitarlike tone. So you dont need a lot of floorpedals to get variation, just your fingers and your gutiars pickups and tone control
PS: this is done with the upcoming beta 1.2.2: the filter resonance  sounds better now in the dark range, and it follows the sounds more smoothly.

After a short TestFlight as an early Birdie 🦤
I would say that this is great 👍
I had to get my old focusrite Itrack out.

I got stuck playing on one of the saw lead, great response, sound , "trig" etc.
After some food I'll try some fretless for sliding greatness.
I have only one request.
I like to use my hands for adjusting things on the fly , so the sliders are great but for my big fingers they could be longer and wider.
There's a lot of "" SPACE "" around the UI on my 5th gen iPad , so another inch ?
But this is a sidebar not really important.

Great work , I'm seeing myself with a rig consisting of two iPads ( or iPad + iPhone ) and a looper.
The Space guitar + Flux + my DD-20 is probably all I need.


In short fantastic!!🦧🙈🕴

Ok , great!
Big fingers , small brain.

And yes I like it a lot.
I've tried fretless and it works great even the harmonics gliss that's possible with fretless.

I'm looking forward to spending time with it .
It's a nice surprise, I've almost given up on using iPad for anything but
Flux which I have running on an old iPad 4.

Great introductory price , great presets , also surprised about the size in Mb.

The standalone is my personal favorite way of using it. I know too well that people love AUM en Audiobus, so I provide all the pluginishness I can provide ofcourse. But I like the fast preset switching and simplicity of the standalone usage, with the super bonus of using old iphones and ipads for having a complete extra multi fx engine..

the standalone presets and IR's are in the filesystem. so you can add IR's, and copy all presets and IR's from 1 ipad to another ;)

PD Space Guitar 1.3.41 BETA is up for review!
———————————————------------------
This should be the 2nd last beta. You are all invited to experiment with it, suggestions and reports are welcome!
Added smooth Patch changes.
=======================
Now patch changes are done via crossfading the the amp/mod/delay and cabinet.
>>SPECIAL FEATURE:
1. MIDI Program changes will be only listened too when in the range 0-100
2. As soon as a patch between 100 en 199 is chosen **manually**,  the incoming MIDI PC then will be mapped to this range. This goes for every range 0, 100-199, 200-299 etc etc
3. This way you can have several instances of SG running in parallell within a host, each havin its own range.
SHAPER
==============

1) Now there are 3 doubler modes: Doubler, Overtones and... intelligent Harmonisers!
the harmonisers use a simple 1 3 5 chord expansion over multiple octaves and can be automated via remote / ENV, which results in a nice auto arpeggiating frenzy.
The harmonisers plays one note from the chord row on the doubler channel.
AMP
=============
1. the AMP now has a multimode filter, with remote/ENV oparation. Auto-wah or by remotecontrol and more.
 Sensitivy adjustable with indicator on screen.  Wackawacka!
MOD
========
 The modulator now has a ROTOR mode. Note: the spread in amps governs the global pan width, so you have to adjust that too for best results! Let your inner Lachy Dooley out!
REMOTE
=============
Reworked the remote system: both ENV's and CC's now have senstivity and direction.

Thanks!
There are now multiple little amps in it, so the 2 resynthesized voices here each have their own amps and fx.
In quatro mode, the normal guitar gets 2 amps, and the "shaper", the resynthesized guitar, also has 2 amps.
now those amps are quiet simple waveshapy thingies, but with all the extra spectral content you don't need a real rich amp anyway. I'm working on having enough "brown" sound, to match up with the "bright" sound, which is just a different waveshape algorithm. Bright is mostly a simple soft clipper, that cleans up when played softer, and brown is a sound that does not completely clear up. Fender vs. Marshall so to speak, 6l6 vs. EL34.

the beta (like  any other SG update) will not overwrite existing userpresets. If you however make new userpresets with the beta, those will ofcourse not work properly when you revert back to the old release.

uploaded,  waiting  for apple's review.
PD Space Guitar 1.3.42 BETA
=======================

The first 10 factory presets offer a glimpse from what is new and possible, from preset 10 upward, most presets have been altered to use the stereo system, mostly QUATRO.
Please mind that the official release will have way more new presets, but I'm still working on it.
There is a lot of new stuff, allthough the number of knobs hasn't increased.
SHAPER
=======
 -  smoother frequency & filter  tracking for the hx modes,
- faster attack and decay for the low frequencies in all modes
AMP
====
-  the amp master level is gone. Use the slider to the right instead!
- all waveshaping is now oversampled
-  FILTER:  the old sweep filter now is a full unit, with its own ENV/CC or autofilter. So it can do wahwah and autowah. The filter now also has a Lowpass and Highpass mode.
- SQUEEL: a new waveshaper that can add a bit of bite and lots of intermodulation.... or make it sound like you're blowing up amps somewhere in a cellar. The amount of Squeel is remotable!
- ATTACK:  a normal mono attack knob: stop the sound and then play: there will be an intro ramp. works nicely to make both shaper and guitar sound more unisone smooth. The amount of attack is remotable!
- TONE:  will now rollof the grain of the overdrive at 6dB per octave, but the normal guitar trebles at 3dB per octave. This way you can get the grain better where you want it.


**Please add your email adress when you found a bug or send a screenshot. It is nice to be able to talk to you! ,;)**

I just bought the actual version and tried it on my ipad pro 9,7 from 2017 and it´s great. great tracking, no false triggers, complex chords like G7#5#9 possible, works like a charm.
Sounds are great too, mostly anlog vangelis alike, a lot of reverb, but a great reverb too.

i used gm70, vg8, vg99, MidiGuitar and vg1000 before and i am really impressed.
no setting up, no special picking neccesary, best experience so far.

Another on screen preset, this time with a 7 string.
The guitar is tuned like a bass on the 4 low strings E' A' D G
then the G is starting point for G d a e', which is an octave below a violin.
Great tuning for folky music and easy to learn!

I never implied it sounds like that particular device, but you can get into a simular zone with that one, yes.
SG has no filtering per string, which is preserved for hardware hexaphonic setups.

With a hint of synth mixed in, this slow attack and gain (new upcoming remote option) make the tone soft in approach and lyrical in sustain.

Thanks! But let me explain that I'm not working for or affiliated with Jamorigin. I worked for them as a freelancer  until oktober 2020: from then on I've been an independent developer. The underlying technique in PD Space Guitar also has nothing to do with jamorigin's MIDI Guitar 2 and/or MIDI Guitar 3.

I don't know, I'm mostly too opitmistic when trying to look into the future. I still need to position Space Guitar somewhere in the iOS market. There might be a in between way, having an IAP for using it on macos.

There is a new public beta, now I hope this is the final one. I like to thank my closed beta helpers for giving me detailed feedback, especially on older machines. Special thanks to Macciza Macpherson for this!
I used it on stage last night's session here, and I loved it. I had a 100w mini class D pedalamp going into a Celestion Vintage 30 cabinet, and that was loud enough, sounded warm and nice and it was easy enough to dial in the righ tone by adjusting the 3 band EQ on the amp. The patches in SG are all made for hifi. But it seems easy enough to just dial in the amp tone to compensate for that.
PD Space Guitar Synthesizer 1.3.55 Public Beta
- Improved Engine: way less CPU is used, up to 100% less CPU used per instance of the plugin. Now you can safely load 2 or more Space Guitars into your host (eg. AUM)
- Optimised patch switching for less CPU spikes. Switch fast with MIDI for stage performances, even with multiple Space Guitars in AUM. The automatic midi zoning allows for different patches being loaded in different instances. This is specially interesting for Chapman Stick, double neck guitar or even hexaphonic applications. Or maybe you want your voice through SG as well ( there is a extra low latency setting for that!)
-PRESERVE  now force the original spectrum envelop over the pitched sound: great for keeping your guitar a guitar while pitching down. 50% is about hte optimum, 100% is a bit strange, but nice effct.
- ENV follower in REMOTE: sliders now only updated 10 times per seconds: the actual ENV used for audio is still at max rate. The CPU use was way too high for the pure indicative slider movealongs, also the host will not see thousands of ENV param changes per second this way....
- Fixed some Thread vulnerabilities

I didnt get any crash reports from users BUT I found an annoying bug myself, which costed me a lot of time to find. In the end, the fix was easy enough. While I was at it, I've upgraded the overdrive with 4* oversampling.
The symmetric waveshaper (odd harmonics, OVERDRIVE) and the assymetric  waveshaper ( even harmonics, SQUEEL ) now sound much better. Having both squeel and overdrive engaged multiplies the harmonics high up.. so that is why the oversampling comes in to give room for those bat/cat harmonics, and to be able to filter them out again.
Here a real squeely example, going in the sitar direction

the new 11 band graphic EQ in Space Guitar: gentle octave bands with -inf attenuation. Feels a bit like a tube tonestack, but then bigger and more flexible.
with builtin spectral display that is rather accurate.
here some metallic rock, the drums may be bit too loud, but that is how I played it over headphones.
The stereo feel comes from the new pseudo stereo input effect: it divides frequencies left and right, but the mono sum is still in phase.

Post by: PD FX on September 15, 2023, 09:01:28 AM
PD Space Guitar Synthesizer 2 ( beta 1.3.65 )
NEW:
1) SWIPE EQ - A smooth graphic 11 band equaliser that you swipe, with builtin frequency response display.
2) PSEUDO now has a DEPTH knob that rules the combfilter

The MOD tab has been renamed FX tab and contains MOD and DELAY
The SPACE tab contains EQ, Cabinet & Reverb
The SETUP tab contains  PSEUDO knobs, FX/AMP order, stereo layout, shaper latency and preset tuning.

FIXED:
-Exiting the tuner could result in the shaper having delayed high frequencies
-Added onoff smoothing on a lot of knobs.

I hope you have fun with it!
Best,
Paul

PD Space Guitar Synthesizer 2 for macOS will be launched with a early adaptor pricing. As soon as operation in the major hosts (Logic, Reaper, Live, Mainstage etc.)  is confirmed, I'll release it to the public on the mac appstore.
The current offical iOS release 1.2.4 will be updated to 2.0 for no extra charge. The macOS app is a separate purchase.

Upcoming: macos beta 1.3.70
Fixes for Logic and Live
1) Big buffer support ( renders in chunks of 256 samples if Logic wants to do long playback buffers )
2) Automation streamlined - midi data and envelops are not forwarded to the host anymore, it caused instablity. Instead, now the standard for DAW's is more observed, while at the same time all the nice live host midi CC thingies also should work.

added : Master BPM with host sync / LFO with 5 shapes for use in the REMOTE sliders
Basically everything now can auto wiggle ;)

1.3.73 beta for iOS/macOS  is up for Apple's review, and the interface is now offically full. There is nothing I would like to wish to add or remove. It is complete.
Coming days I'll walk through the factory presets and shine them up a bit. After that, and the removal of the last little quirks: release.
** New in 1.3.73 **
A master BPM setting, with a switch to take the host's BPM
An LFO with 5 shapes, with 1/8 to 8 beats subdivision scale.
LFO can be used in the 3 REMOTE sliders.
Delay can be synced to the master BPM, also with with 1/8 to 8 beats subdivision scale.
Fixes:
- Host Play/Stop will reset SG.
- Simple Verb now will start correctly when loaded in a fresh instance.
- Timeline from host will be followed properly
- Large buffers (mainly Logic playback) are chunked up to keep internal LFO and ENV up and running on an acceptable rate.
Known quirks:
-Delay might act strange with very long BPM settings, not tested.
-A few knob labels show + and - where they shouldnt.
-Macos: the DELAY SYNC knob works but label isnt updated.

Contributing members will additionally get spicy previews of new stuff out of my guitar lab!

For upgrading users from 1.2.4:
Hosts will not automatically load this plugin when you come from version 1.2.4, you need to select the plugin anew.
This launch is on a monday to provide for the best possible time for transitioning, I think the hassle will be worth it, there is just so much more in this new version!
