ZEEKSTFU tooKVR Developer Challenge 2021It is a plug-in that has been entered in.
I was a little worried, so when I tried using it again, it had very good functions, so I will introduce it.
This article will be sent with the following contents.
・ How to use ZEEK's volume shaper plug-in STFU
Overview of ZEEK's volume shaper plug-in STFU and how to download it
Overview
ZEEK STFU is the best volume shaper you can use for free.
STFU is a very quick-to-use sidechainer that can be automatically synced to the host's BPM or triggered by MIDI notes, and is always faithful to the sample. MIDI triggers can be used to overcome the volume envelope limitations of numerous synths for a myriad of purposes.
STFU can also output CVs for use with many hosts and modular plugins.
In addition, you can create all sorts of cool things by setting two independent envelopes and crossfading between them.
What I personally found very good was the ability to adjust the volume shape while looking at the waveform.
I don't think it had this feature for free.
How to download
Please move from the link below and click the corresponding OS from the OS icon on the upper right to start downloading.
Since it is in VST3 format (Path is fixed), you can leave the default installation.
How to use ZEEK's volume shaper plug-in STFU
The advantage of "STFU" is that it also supports MIDI triggers.
Therefore, I will explain how to trigger by MIDI.
Speaking of using the volume shaper system, I think that the side chain effect is the main thing.
It is like this.
First, load "STFU" into the mixer where you want to apply the sidechain effect.
In the example of the above video, it is Pad, so load "STFU" into the mixer that outputs Pad.
Then load "MIDI out".
This time, "0" of "Port" has already been used elsewhere, so it is set to "1", but the number can be any number if combined with "STFU". (This time, proceed with "1")
Open "STFU" and set "input port" to "1" from the gear icon on the upper left.
After that, in this case, I want to be triggered at the timing of Kick, so I will place MIDI notes at the same timing as Kick.
If you're using a drum sampler, just copy and paste Kick's MIDI notes to the "MIDI out" piano roll and you're done. (The scale of MIDI notes can be anywhere)
If you place the Kick directly in the "PlayList" as shown below, it's a bit annoying, but you'll have to enter it one by one.
Place all the Kick MIDI notes and you're done.
Summary
DuckIt's not a substitute for, but it would be nice if you could do this for free.
And this developer, this plugin seems to be the first release.
So I'm really looking forward to the future,
