# Temper
|
||
|
||
Temper is a distortion that drives every note the same. Current version **0.2.0**.
|
||
|
||
A distortion with a fixed tone filter acts differently on each note: a lowpass
|
||
at 2 kHz lets through 45 harmonics of an F1 but only 22 of an F2, and
|
||
a patch that is 6 dB quieter is driven 6 dB less. Across a riddim line that makes
|
||
some notes fizzy and others dull. Temper evens out each note's level before the
|
||
shaper and moves its tone filters with the pitch, so the character stays the same
|
||
on every note.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Install on Windows
|
||
|
||
Copy `Temper.clap` into `C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\`. In FL Studio
|
||
2024.1 or newer, open Options → Manage plugins, enable Verify plugins, and Find
|
||
installed plugins. Load Temper in a mixer slot of the bass. Keep the font license
|
||
with redistributed packages.
|
||
|
||
## Work with it
|
||
|
||
1. Choose a **Curve**:
|
||
- **Soft**: tanh, smooth and rounded.
|
||
- **Hard**: clipping with a narrow knee, dense and square-like.
|
||
- **Fold**: the wave folds back on itself; Drive moves the upper harmonics.
|
||
- **Tube**: the negative half clips earlier, adding even harmonics.
|
||
2. Set **Drive**. The transfer plot shows the curve over the range a normalised
|
||
note covers; the **Into shaper** meter shows how far past the knee it goes.
|
||
3. Add **Bias** for asymmetry and even harmonics.
|
||
4. Shape the tone around the shaper, all in multiples of the note:
|
||
- **Floor** is a highpass before the shaper (0.25–2 × the fundamental; 0 is
|
||
off). It keeps sub mud out of the distortion. Put Anvil after Temper to add a
|
||
clean sub back.
|
||
- **Push** boosts or cuts one harmonic (**Push at**, 1–16) before the shaper,
|
||
so the distortion bites in the same place on every note.
|
||
- **Bright** is a lowpass after the shaper at a harmonic number (4–64; 0 is
|
||
off), so the top end stops at the same harmonic on every note.
|
||
|
||
Other controls:
|
||
|
||
- **Normalize** is how far each note's level is evened out before Drive. At 100 %
|
||
a quiet and a loud patch distort the same; at 0 % Temper acts like a normal
|
||
distortion.
|
||
- **Auto gain** keeps the output at the input's loudness, so turning up Drive
|
||
changes the character, not the level.
|
||
- **Gate** is the input level that counts as a note.
|
||
- **Mix** blends with the delayed dry signal; **Output** trims the level.
|
||
|
||
### Pitch from MIDI
|
||
|
||
Select **MIDI** and route the bass's MIDI notes to Temper when detection
|
||
struggles. In FL Studio, set the bass channel's MIDI output port and Temper's
|
||
input port to the same number.
|
||
|
||
## Timing and limits
|
||
|
||
Detection uses about 67 ms of lookahead; the 4× oversampling filters add under
|
||
1 ms. Both are reported to the host for delay compensation. Pitch range is
|
||
30–500 Hz, one note at a time. Before the first note the tracked filters are off;
|
||
between notes they hold the last tuning.
|
||
|
||
Aliasing stays below −60 dB for bass material (tested with a 2 kHz tone at 24 dB
|
||
drive and a 440 Hz tone at full drive, on every curve). High-pitched content at
|
||
full drive aliases more: a 5 kHz tone at 36 dB on the Hard curve reaches about
|
||
−31 dB.
