Here is a sad attempt at violin emulation as requested by reddit’s vaibhavsagar. This is how it works:
- Take the fourier transform of your signal.
- Ramp the value of each bin up to the next one over a few samples. This removes the attack and also makes your guitar sound like it is playing backwards. If you are using Max/MSP, the vectral~ help will tell you how to do this.
- Add some overdrive. I just used the built-in overdrive~ object, but you can get fancy with it. This little touch helps it sound pretty violin-like.
Strange things can happen if you insist that the patch takes a long time to ramp up or down, or turn the overdrive up really high. Sample2 was just me playing around with those numbers.
