Real-world examples

Think of a timer as a loop with a speed control.

A recent example in one of my projects. I'm making a guitar library and want to automatically strum chords. This requires a loop but a loop runs at one speed (as fast as it can) I need a loop that I can control the rate of. So a timer is perfect for this.

Another example with the same project. I need to be able to slide a note up/down, like a guitarist sliding a finger along a string. Again a loop wouldn't work because I need to control the rate of the slide, so a timer is the appropriate choice here too. In fact, for this feature I used 6 timers, for polyphonic slides.

Tell me more about what you want to know and I'll make a video.

@d-healey ..scriptnode....

@Lindon I haven't found a use for it in my projects so far. I'm interested in the synth/physical modelling stuff but haven't been able to get it to work.

@d-healey LOL - yeah I've been waiting for you to do another of your famous very-informative videos before I even opened it....

Maybe I could do a non-very-informative introduction to just get people started.

@d-healey I'd like to create a drum instrument sampling the drum set I have in my recording studio. I'd like to do a rather simple/standard instrument, something like this:

• main window with mixer (close mics, overheads, room)
• edit window for each piece of the drumset (with eq, dynamics, maybe saturation, two aux sends)
• fx window with two fx units
• midi window with patterns? (maybe too difficult)

Any suggestions on how to organize the samples?
As I would like to have eqs, dynamics and so forth on each piece of the drumset, should I have a dedicated sampler for each of them? (one for kick, one for snare and so on?) or is there a better and less resource-consuming way?
Do you think I should concentrate on something specific as far as scripting (if needed) is concerned?
Thanks a lot for your patience :)

Yes, definitely one sampler per drum, but make sure to turn down the voicelimit / voice amount per sampler to a sensible minimum (32 should be enough) to save memory.

@Christoph-Hart ok thank you!
