Knocktonal is a note-based resonance amplifier that permits customers to extend (or lower) resonance in addition to the corresponding harmonic overtones. Merely put, Knocktonal enables you to tune your drums with an EQ with out having to re-pitch the samples. This may be fairly helpful, as a damaging pitch change or pitch shift typically negatively impacts the tonality of the sound. This may increasingly embrace undesirable amplification of transients, texture, assault and decay of sounds. Knocktonal permits you to management these resonant boosts/cuts statically or dynamically by way of automation or MIDI enter, the latter of which may create an extremely distinctive melodic pitch increase. Knocktonal can be used to show easy drum feels like brief kicks,
Most important traits
SUBTRACTIVE EQ :
The subtractive Knocktonal EQ part is designed to take away any undesirable resonant frequencies that pre-exist within the audio you’re working with. That is helpful for attaining a “clear slate” earlier than amplifying any new resonances. Just like the plug-in’s additive resonance part, the subtractive EQ might be managed in numerous methods. First, statically, by merely setting the notice and leaving it. That is helpful for instantaneous drum sounds which might be the identical all through the efficiency. The subtractive EQ can be managed dynamically for sounds with shifting resonance, reminiscent of melodic performances. This may be achieved in two methods. First, through the use of automation, and second, by sending a MIDI sign to MIDI channel 2 of the plugin.
RESONANCE EQ:
The resonant EQ part is the place the facility of Knocktonal actually shines. That is the primary place the place the utilization will happen. The resonant equalizer is designed to have an effect on the foundation notice and all accompanying harmonic overtones, each odd and even. You can even set the resonant EQ to octave mode by deactivating the Overtones button, which lets you management all octaves of the foundation notice. Just like the subtractive EQ, the additive resonant EQ might be managed statically or dynamically by way of automation or MIDI enter.
1. Resonance Be aware – This bubble knob is each a notice selector, figuring out which notice so as to add resonance to, and a achieve management to extend the amount of the chosen resonant notice. This notice can be chosen utilizing the keyboard a part of the plug-in interface, and can be managed by way of MIDI enter utilizing MIDI channel 1.
2. Keyboard – The keyboard is used as a show exhibiting which notes have been chosen for the resonant EQ (displayed completely)
and subtractive EQ (displayed dynamically when working with subtractive controls).
3. Focus – resonant equalizer focus frequency.
When the hyperlink button (#9) is enabled, this focus frequency will all the time comply with the notice/octave chosen on the primary notice bubble or keyboard. With the hyperlink button off, this parameter permits you to regulate the placement of the middle resonant frequency, together with between octaves.
4. Vary – Resonance Focus Width The EQ determines how a lot resonance is added to larger and decrease octaves, or harmonics if overtone mode is on.
5. Hyperlink – The hyperlink button fixes the main target frequency on the chosen root notice.
6. Q – Bandwidth of the resonant equalizer. When the resonant bands are narrowed sufficient, this creates a protracted tail, permitting the drum sounds to stretch out. That is very helpful for kick drums to transform them to 808s.
7. Bands – Variety of resonant equalizer bands. This parameter is accessible solely when the Overtones mode is on and permits you to choose from 1 to 30 bands for resonances.
8. Mix – Mixing even and odd overtones. When
the knob is turned all the best way to the left, solely odd-order harmonics are current. To the appropriate – solely harmonics of a fair order.
9. Overtones – This button toggles between Overtones mode and Octave mode. When the button is off, solely octaves of the foundation notice are boosted (for instance, each occasion of F#)
