Tester feedback asked for a threshold and a ratio. Each band now cuts like a
small compressor: Threshold (dB above the local floor) replaces Selectivity,
Ratio scales the cut per dB above it (inf:1 is the old behaviour), and a
Soft/Hard knee switch sets the curve. A small graph shows bump height in, cut
out. Mix and Output move to the slider panel so the detection panel fits.
common-ui gains rotary_text for knobs with custom value text.
Patina detects the played note (30-500 Hz) and remembers, over about
4 s, how high each spectral bump is at a fixed frequency and relative
to the note. Bumps that follow the note (a boosted harmonic the patch
is built on) get less cut; bumps fixed in Hz (formants, room modes)
are cut as before. On a saw line F1-F2 with harmonic 6 boosted, the
cut on that harmonic drops from 5.78 dB to 0.44 dB at 100 %, while a
fixed formant at 1.5 kHz stays at 5.78 dB. One held note is cut as
normal, since the two cases cannot be told apart.
- New parameter tone-guard (0-100 %, default 0), appended at the end;
0 % is the old behaviour and old settings load unchanged.
- New Bass line preset.
- Editor: Tone guard control, NOTE readout and a strip over the
spectrum where cuts are held back.
- No added latency, no allocation on the audio thread; patina-core now
depends on common-dsp.
Two new CLAP effects aimed at riddim and dubstep production, plus shared
crates so all four plugins keep one look and reuse DSP.
Anvil 0.1.0 (io.storyboard.sub-anchor):
- Replaces the band below Split with a clean mono sine. Every note gets
the same peak level and restarts at the same phase, so switch-ups keep
their weight and kick hits line up.
- Pitch and note starts come from the audio (YIN, 80 ms lookahead
reported to the host) or from MIDI notes sent to the effect.
- Dynamics, Drive, Octave, Glide, Phase, Gate and Keep; Solo sub monitor,
note readout, level meters and a low-band oscilloscope.
Crucible 0.1.0 (io.storyboard.resampler):
- Records its input continuously in a lock-free ring with host transport
markers. Capture takes the newest 1-16 complete bars on the bar grid,
following tempo changes, or the newest audio when stopped.
- Grid (straight and triplet) or transient slicing, manual cuts, slice
audition without audio-thread allocation.
- Export writes the loop, trimmed, declicked and normalised slices named
and tagged with their root note, and an optional 2048-sample wavetable
for Serum and Vital.
Shared:
- common-ui holds the palette, fonts, knobs and panels taken from Patina;
Patina renders identically. Rotary knobs at their minimum no longer
tessellate a zero-length arc into NaN vertices.
- common-dsp holds biquads, a Linkwitz-Riley crossover, YIN, note helpers
and a float WAV writer with sampler root and Serum frame chunks.
- Catalog, CI matrix, release tags, editor previews and docs cover both
plugins; a script test keeps the catalog and workflows in step.
Patina 0.2.0. The old detector compared raw FFT bins with a one-octave
dB mean, so every harmonic of a tonal sound looked like a resonance and
real harsh bumps were barely touched. The new detector:
- averages power over each log band and smooths it over time
- joins harmonic tops into an envelope, smoothed by Sharpness
- compares it with a robust, tilt-aware local line fit that ignores
empty regions and cannot be lifted by the bump itself
Six overlapping controls become Depth, Sharpness and Selectivity; focus
points now read "up cuts more, down protects". The analysis window is
halved to 2048 samples (about 43 ms delay). Behaviour tests cover plain
harmonic tones, resonant bumps, narrow rings, level independence,
flicker on noise and high sample rates.
Both editors get a dark metallic look with #FF0160 as the single
accent colour; screenshots and docs are updated. Projects saved with
Patina 0.1 load the new controls at their defaults.
