I’m pleased to announce the 1.2 version of QtSimpleOverdrive.
Since last version, the GUI was changed, and mainly the automation has been fixed. As such, old parameters are no longer valid, sorry…
The code is now available under the GPL2 on github and on Sourceforge.
The plugin can be download on the Sourceforge project page.
A few days ago, I’ve released my first VST plugin. Now it is time to analyze how it works.
I’m pleased to announce the release of my first VST plugin (Windows 32bits), based on the simple overdrive prototype.
It is a mono filter, with an oversampling of 2 to 32, based on polyphase filters, and the undersampling is done after an 8th order Butterworth lowpass filter with a cut frequency of 22kHz.
The source code will be available (under the GPL) in the future if there is interest in the plugin and its support. The exact way it works will be explained in a future blog post.
The audio plugin is available on Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qtvst/files/QtSimpleOverdrive/
If you find any issue, please submit it on Github: https://github.com/mbrucher/qtvst
Please note that the oversampling can be quite CPU intensive (on my laptop, an Intel Core2 T7200, using an oversampling of 4 at 96kHz uses the full power of one core).
I’ve set up a SourceForge project where I will put all the binaries for this project.
The source code is still on Github (https://github.com/mbrucher/QtVST), but it won’t always contain the source code for each VST plugin. The next plugin I’m working on is based on the overdrive I’ve blogged about some months ago.

After Music Theory for Computer Musicians, Composition for Computer Musicians, here is Harmony for Computer Musicians. Michael Hewitt builds on some topics from the preceding books to dig in the complexity of harmony.
A few months ago, I encountered an issue with Scons and the SubstInFile2 tool. When it is used in a variant dir, when the emitter is called, the variant dir is not yet populated. Unfortunately, the emitter tries to open the file in the variant dir, so this does not work.
The only thing to do is to use the source node in the emitter instead of the variant node. So line 112:
keys = subst_keys(str(s.srcnode()))
And this is it!
I don’t usually review French books, but this is an exception. There are regularly new books on food and agriculture, but this one seemed to be very interesting. It’s also available in the US (but in French), but it costs far more.
When faced with a new dataset, the issue is to find how it should be analyzed. A lot of books addresses the theoretical way of doing it, but this book gives practical clues to do it. Besides, it isn’t based on commercial tools like MATLAB, but on open source tools that can be freely downloaded on the Internet.
I encountered this book, and the title was very appealing. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad comments on the book, so when I saw it last time on a shelf, I’ve decided to check for myself.
TortoiseSVN is one of the best and well-known GUI for SVN. It has also given birth to parallel projects for all the other VCS (TortoiseHG, TortoiseGit…). It’s only fair a book is dedicated to it.
