Introducing Altar (and looking for Windows testers)

@pokemonguy Thanks for the quick turnaround, I'll add those to the list.
Tuner is giving off random information, or just innacurate also compared plugins i listed above to my guitar is correctly set up with an evertune bridge.
Its not loading nam profiles correctly instead turning into a giant weird phase mess.
These might be related, what samplerate & buffersize are you using? I'll grab the 30-day Studio One trial and see if I can recreate it on my end.
other tone things better. like "chug"
Chug is just a single band compressor for the low end to prevent mud buildup when palm-muting. It's more of a mixing convenience than something to shape the tone with. Pick works similarly, but is an expander for the "pick" attack frequencies to bring out some of the transient.

@pokemonguy Also would you mind sending the NAM file over? Or linking to it
-
@iamlamprey i assumed on the chug was multiband. Im very experianced guitar player/engineer more then anything when relating to audio and have probly played every guitar amp sim known to man, and have owned every modeler since pod xt rack.
I will try to make obs videos of my issues if i get time to do so for ya.
-
@pokemonguy I just know im the only dude i know that will goof around and make stuff work for me when it comes to amp sims. 99% of people i know would rather spend 1-200$ for something that simply works instantly. Most guitar dudes are guitar dudes, not computer boi's like us.
So they are either paying for convienience or hitting the Warez sites.

Glad to have you here then

That would be super helpful, I just tried your NAM files and they work for me in Ableton so it might be a Studio One issue.

Following up here - the NAM issue was due to a lack of resampling (had no idea that was necessary, but I always run 44100 out of habit). I've added a simple lagrange resampler and A/B'd it against the NAM plugin at 96k and 44.1k, it's not perfect but it's quite close.
Original download link has the updated version.
I'll work on the other DSP issues starting with the tuner tomorrow

@iamlamprey looks great!
-
@iamlamprey Awesome! Could you please update the libraries in "src" folder? I can't open the project without those libraries. So sad
-
@Sawatakashi I'll have to look into which libraries I can & can't include in the repo (license reasons), but for now the complete list is:
XSIMD: https://github.com/xtensor-stack/xsimd
Rubberband: https://github.com/breakfastquay/rubberband
JSON: https://github.com/nlohmann/json
RTNeural: https://github.com/jatinchowdhury18/RTNeural
RTNeural-NAM: https://github.com/jatinchowdhury18/RTNeural-NAM
math_approx: https://github.com/Chowdhury-DSP/math_approx
AudioDSPTools: https://github.com/sdatkinson/AudioDSPToolsI also have the WDL folder from Reaper in there locally, but I just deleted it and it still compiled fine so I don't think I'm using it anymore.
Fair warning, it's kind of a pain getting everything compiling. I had to change a few of the HISE source files because the Rubberband library overlaps with the
using jucenamespaceThere are notes about that in the
transpose.hfile, and there's some notes about FileSystem.browse() in thecabDesigner.jsfile if you want it to work properly when the user cancels the file explorer.
