Quilcom ENFORCER
My elderly neighbour used to be a Chief Superintendent and collects police memorabilia. He got me interested in early police whistles, and actually gave me one which once belonged to the Liverpool City Police. I used to assume these were like “referee” whistles with a pea for modulation. In fact, the police whistles produce two separate tones, set to close frequencies, to produce a beating effect. Naturally I decided to make a synthesised version, and in the process was able to adapt the engine to also synthesise a referee’s version which has a single tone modulated by a rotating “pea”. The sounds are distinctly different.

Quilcom CREATURE
มุมมอง 1.2K28 วันที่ผ่านมา
Someone on TH-cam suggested I make a SIM-ANIMAL to simulate various animal sounds. I found it an interesting idea, but I failed completely. I quickly learned that animal vocalisations, while not as complex as human speech, are still complex enough to be extremely difficult to imitate using synthesis. However, I decided to turn my test setup into a plugin because it can make a wide range of soun...
Quilcom SIM-TABLA

I’d been thinking about making a tabla synth plugin for some time, but was worried about all the different types of strokes that skilled players can perform. In the end I decided to focus on the typical “signature” sounds rather than trying to adapt a MIDI keyboard input to cover all of them.

Quilcom SIM-HANDBELLS
มุมมอง 531หลายเดือนก่อน
I wanted to make something a bit seasonal for Christmas 2024, so I had the idea to make a handbell synth. I thought it would be easy but, as is often the case, even humble handbells aren’t so humble and players use various techniques for different expressions. Damping is especially important in performance and it needed to be per bell as well as global. So, as always, this is my best shot at sy...

This is my version of a Mark Tree (also called a chime bar or bar chimes).

    Yees! How great is that? Thanks a lots for making this unique tool - and indeed: One year ago I suggested something like that when you made the Electric Bird Sim. Maybe others, too? I guess it's really not that easy to do something like that. Enjoyed your Video and I suppose the usage of the formants plus the Glottis function really helps to make some unique voices. And this is more Sounddesign to me than mangling samples with timestretching for eg. Cudos👍

    For anyone having issues using piano roll with the plugin, I've found the solution. The documentation says C3 blows the drone, but it's actually C4. So just make a very long C4 optionally in a separate pattern and then it should work!

    The little squeaky things are pretty good for small rodent or mammal sounds. This might sound like a bit of an esoteric take, but I think if we could emulate the sounds a bird's syrinx makes, or figure out a digital analog to their internal vocal structure, we could emulate a TON of different SFX via digital analog controls. I'm thinking more of something like the Lyre bird or the Raven. Absolute beasts of universal mimicry. Now...to the easy task of recreating that structure from 1' and 0's with a cool and unique user interface... We could start from wood wind instrument synths. Things that already exist in synthesizer form in one way or another that try to recreate physical air passing and constricting through various shaped tubes.

    It's great as it is, but a bandpass filter, resonator and reverb will probably get it closer to your goal. We all have bandpass filters, resonators and reverb already (by the way). 😉 You do great work!

    Wow, you might call this a failure but it comes very, very close to what I had in mind. The only problem is that I must now start to develop the right playing technique on this to make a lion roar like a hard rock guitar and such. That should “only” be as difficult as playing Le Caines Electronic Sackbut like a pro. 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏😁
