Description

I got tired of spending all that time making white noise based risers and drops, so I've made that very useful white noise risers & drops generator.

the two large buttons allow you to start risers and drops

the "link" button on the display in between will make the drop start when the riser end.

the drop and riser controls are below (yellow and blue panels)

RISER key control

"cut" will end the riser before the end of the next bar (if linked, the drop will start at the beginning of the next bar as expected)

you can choose if the cut only affects the sound of the plugin or mute the entire ableton track

DROP key control

the lower smaller knobs control a "pre-ramp" before the main ramp, to create some kind of an attack in the first few ms of the drop, this may be refined in the full version

Hidden control

the pink dot in the LFO display is a bipolar slider that sets the amount of lfo speed modulated by the rising and falling ramps

C and D key will start risers and drops

I forgot which one I set but there's a C/D pair that start the processes instantly, and an octave below, they start the processes in sync with ableton

the "b e a t" buttons below the rise/fall main button determine on which quarter note in the bar the process will start. if linked, the drop "b e a t" buttons have no incidence.

Select length separately for risers and drops

Select frenquency start & end separately

most controls are independent

LFO Modulation (one LFO, independently assignable)

Sync'd to ableton

"Cut" feature can cut the riser before the end at the plugin level or ableton track level (automated track mute)

Autopan feature

Some other, more or less hidden stuff, try things out !

Full version has additional FM oscillator, deeper noise shaping tools, complete mixer and other cool stuff.
