Effects

Reverb

This is a pretty basic metallic sounding reverb. Not very usable but still.

Parameter	Brief description	Typical range
room	Size of the room	0->x
size	Size of the reverb - keep below 1 (inf)	0->1
dry	Dry/Wet balance	0->1

@swim
def test_fx(p=0.25):
    D('hh', amp=1, room='(sin $.S)', dry=0.1, size='(sin $)')
    again(test_fx, p=0.25)

Delay

The delay effect is initially built for Tidal, which is based on a cyclical time representation. However, it has been pre-configured here to work properly with Sardine. Be careful with the feedback if you don’t want to see things explode!

Parameter	Brief description	Typical range
delay	Wet / Dry	0->1
delaytime	Delay time	0->x
delayfeedback	Amount of reinjection of the dry signal	0->.99

@swim
def test_fx(p=0.25):
    D('hh',
        speep='1|2|4',
        delay=1/2, delaytime=1/(2/3),
        delayfeedback='0.5+(rand/4)',
        amp=1
    )
    again(test_fx, p=0.25)

Phaser

Parameter	Brief description	Typical range
phaserrate	Speed of phaser	0->x
phaserdepth	Depth of phaser	0->x

@swim
def test_fx(p=0.25):
    D('jvbass',
        midinote='C|Eb|G|Bb',
        phaserrate='1~10',
        phaserdepth='(sin $*2)', amp=1
    )
    again(test_fx, p=0.5)

Leslie

This is a simple emulation of a Leslie rotating speaker typically used in music for treating organ sounds, voices, and to add an eary tint to everything that goes through it. This is basically a way to play creatively with doppler effects.

Parameter	Brief description	Typical range
Leslie	Dry / wet	0->1
lrate	Rate	0->x
lsize	Wooden cabinet size (in meters)	0->x

@swim
def test_fx(p=0.25):
    D('jvbass', amp=1, leslie=0.9,
        lrate=0.1, lsize='0.1+rand*2')
    again(test_fx, p=0.25)

Tremolo

A simple tremolo effect.

Parameter	Brief description	Typical range
tremolorate	Tremolo speed	0->x
tremolodepth	Depth of tremolo	0->x

@swim
def test_fx(p=0.25, i=0):
    D('amencutup:[1:20]',
        tremolorate='16|32',
        tremolodepth='[0.0~1.0 0.25]', i=i
    )
    again(test_fx, p=0.5, i=i+1)

Granular weird

This is a weird granular effect probably intended to serve as a building block for some other effect but you can use it as is nonetheless. It will slice your audio sample into tiny fragments of it while applying some amount of pitch-shifting on every sample.

Parameter	Brief description	Typical range
psrate	Pitch-shift rate	0->x
psdisp	Pitch-shift dispersion	0->x
scram	Weird spectral effect	0->x
binshift	Spectral bin shifter	0->x

@swim
def test_fx(p=0.25, i=0):
    D('amencutup:[1:20]',
            psrate='2',
            psdisp='[0:1,0.5]',
            i=i)
    again(test_fx, p=0.5, i=i+1)
