… SK-crooner 1.0 VSTi almost done …
My VST instrument SK-crooner is almost done. It is based on the 8 bit human vocaloid samples from the Casio SK-1 keyboard. Basic Moog style filtering … bit depth and sample crushing … vibrato rate and depth control with an on/off switch … portamento … ADSR controls.
Here is a mock up of the panel (TO BE CHANGED):
The “human voice” patch on the Casio SK-1 was one of my favorite sounds as a kid. It sounded funny and kind of intriguing at the same time.
SK-crooner belts out the notes in “original” mode pretty much exactly like the original keyboard did back in the 1980’s.
In “tone held” mode, a continuous portion of the waveform is looped so you can play sustained notes. No more “HOO … HOo … Hoo … hoo”. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, try it in original mode and you will get a chuckle.
If you are interested in Beta testing SK-crooner, drop me a line via the contact page. I’ll send you a .dll [sorry, windows only]
