Dreamolers CAPS Stomper
Simple and effective kick drum synthesizer.
Program opens six windows:
1) Main Menu
2) View Window
3) Amplitude
4) Frequency
5) Limit
6) Other
Ad 1) - Main Menu
In Main Menu window, there are nine following functions:
1.1 - Feel the groove! - Audio playback through AUDIO device - functin may
be faulty, unlike other functions, though...
1.2 - Recalculate - Function recalculates (refreshes) syntesized sample
after changes made by you in Amplitude, Frequency, Limit and Other
panels. Function is triggered anyway before saving or playing the sound
back. Seem useless - we wanted to have more gadgets in a window to
get more professional look...
1.3 - Save 16SV - function saves 16bit sample ready to be used i.e. with Digi
Booster Pro.
1.4 - Load presets - loads configuration of sliders and other menu defining
the sound of a kick
1.5 - Save preset - saves your sound in form of configuration of sliders
1.6 - AHI unit - AHI unit selector
1.7 - Engine library - selector of accuracy of rendering engine - each is
described by Info button in selector window
1.8 - About - what's all about
1.9 - Quits
Ad 2) - View Window
Window pictures shape of a sample
Ad 3) - Amplitude
Here you can describe characteristics of amplitude envelope
of a sound. Amplitude is set by geometric string with Start level,
Factors in range 1-254 for dumped sound, 255 for constant amplitude and
256+ for divergent self oscillation. Min and Max values clips positive
part of amplitude within their values. Negative side is mirrored
positive.
Ad 4) - Frequency
As in 1.3, with relation to oscillation frequency. Sliders
describe frequency envelope with sliders meaning pointed in 1.3.
Ad 5) - Limit
Limit performs clipping on a sound with a threshold defined by
another geometric string envelope. Limiting envelope is also deifned
with identical set of sliders as mentioned in point 1.3, with the same
meaning, relating to limit.
Ad 6) - Other
Length - enter the length of a sample in seconds
Angle - defines phase of transient - enter 45 for harder click
Frequency - sample playback frequency
