Thank you Ingo!
No problem. I thought it would be nice to have the "full collection" of those...

I also added a copy to the original post so they don't get "lost".

This was already posted at KVR. I did some slight changes to the text:


A PDF with Signal Analyzer sceenshots of a Resonant Saurus waveform while turning the Formant knob in Rayblaster:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/53230726/Rayblaster%20-%20Saurus%20Resonant%20waveform%201_different%20Formant%20values%201.pdf

A screenshot from Saurus for comparison:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/53230726/Saurus_LP12dB%20Resonant_Signal%20Analyzer%201.png

----------------------------------------------------

I just recorded a resonance sweep with the same Saurus waveform in Rayblaster.
Just a single oscillator, no unison and no FXs.

audio demo:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/53230726/RayBlaster%20-%20Saurus%20Reso%20Sweep%20Test%2001.mp3


screenshot of the preset (Open in new window for bigger size):

screenshot of the waveform (Open in new window for bigger size):


a comparable non-rseonant waveform of the same filter:


-----------------------------

So finally i tried to do the same audio demo in Saurus. I have even tried to use more or less the same parameter values as in RAyblaster so the result could maybe differ a bit which doesn't change the basic result.

Saurus audio demo:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/53230726/Saurus_Resonance%20Test%2001.mp3

Saurus screenshot with the preset:


The comparison of both demos shows both the limits but also the similarities of the replicated and the original synth. There seems to be a little backoround noise or aliasing at the lowest frequency (around 800-900 Hz, position of the "Resonant peak") which disappears at the higher ones which go up to around 11000-12000 Hz at the Rayblaster example. For a sound based on a single waveforms this does seem to be a good result.

This is just a single example for a single waveform so i'll try with other soon. Everyone got the screenshot of the presets so they are free to test themselves.

Some more useful information already posted at KVR:


I'll take a few days off from this thread so if someone is searching for information about Raybaster i post a quote of my own post:


A small collection with places for informations and resources about Tone2 Rayblaster.

1.) The official Rayblaster website

http://www.tone2.com/html/rayblaster_synthesizer_vst_au.html

Here you could download the product demo and listen to audio demos.
Additionally there are a few informations about the synth.


2.) The feature overview video and the second part of thewebsite

http://www.tone2.com/html/impulse_modelling_synthesis__i.html

This website includes the feature overview video which explains the basic features of Rayblaster.
Besides that the website contains some additional information about Rayblaster.

3.) The user manual:

IMO this is the most important resource for informations on Rayblaster. It could be found in the "Help" menu at the GUI of the plugin, as a PDF in the installation directory ("Rayblaster.pdf") or at this link which i just created:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/53230726/RayBlaster.pdf


4.) The Rayblaster forum at theofficial public Tone2 forum

http://www.tone2.org/forum/index.php?board=30.0

This forum could be read by anyone but posting is only allowed for registered customers. Anyway some of the download links posted should be usable as long as they are not protected.
This includes lots of informations about Rayblaster, also regarding updates etc.


5.) My own thread at the e Rayblaster forum

http://www.tone2.org/forum/index.php?topic=1336.0

I have created an own thread at the Rayblaster forum which includes downloads for free waveforms and explanations/tips on how to use those waveforms and the synth. Sometimes i copy my responses from KVR to there for having them on one place.


6.) Rayblaster demo version and factory presets

Another good way to learn about the synth is of course to use the product demo and especially look at the factory presets to see what is possible and how this could work.
In this respect the Tutorial presets in the "Tutorial" sub folder are quite interesting and useful.

In the manual usually for each important feature a corresponding tutorial preset is mentioned for checking that feature.


7.) Additional soundsets

Additional soundsets for Rayblaster are on the way, the first one will be released soon:
http://www.tone2.org/forum/index.php?topic=1350.0


8.) KVR thread

http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=364536&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Last but not least tons of informations were provided during this thread which i had already done before the official release was even done.
Those informations include basic features and also sme advanced informations which i found out myself.
There was also information about tests on CPU use, RAM use etc.

This is an audio demo that was already posted at KVR:

Rayblaster - Cosy Jupiter Pad 1

This preset is based on a Jupiter 8 waveform (= filter response) from U-He Diva. I'll not pots the the direct comparison here to avoid trouble. Let the result speak for itself.

This was already posted at KVR and i got some help to fix a problem which i had with NI FM8. I have corrected the waveforms now and added a few more.

I have also created a few Rayblaster presets based on some of those already.


Quote from: Ingonator
Based on a KVR thread about FM synths i just had the idea to use FM8 to create some waveforms for Rayblaster. Started with just two OPs and even with that got some interesting results.
created a row of waveforms starting from C:M ratio of 1:0.25 up to 1:5 and now building a "wavetable" with crossfading (for use in Rayblaster) from this.

This helps both for getting more interesting waveforms and maybe to more understand some basic principles of FM. I'll maybe publish the first results/waveforms in this thread soon.

UPDATE:

Here are the first waveforms and one wavetable to see what i talk about:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/53230726/IW_FM%20waveforms%201.zip


Those are created with just two operators in FM8 with quite simple parameters but the results are already quite interesting. When loaded into Rayblaster they will create their own "fantasy" filter response which leads to interesting result even the most simple one and you could combine up to 4 waveforms in a single Rayblaster preset.
All waveforms got around the same size which means they are not all "real" single cycles. If needed you could edit them yourself or just "zoom" into them inside Rayblaster using the harmonic value.

The file names show the settings used in FM:
- 50% = a FM amount of 50%
- 1M1C = 1 modulator, 1 carrier
- 2.00 ; 1 = a M/C ratio of 2.00 to 1.00
(semikolon used instead of double point as this is not available for file names)

The wavetable is constructed from all "50%" waveforms with some crossfading which was done in Steinberg Wavelab Elements 7.

UPDATE:
More waveforms with different Ratios and some "basic" waveforms created with FM added.

Hi Piet,

here is a fast preset i just created with your WAV file:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/53230726/PietWT%20Pad%201%20IW.fxp

Many thanks for that wavetable.

Here is an audio demo using that preset which i quickly created (no external FXs used):

Ingo Weidner - RayBlaster - PietWT Pad 1

UPDATE:

I just purchased the ValhallaVintageVerb ("VVV") FX plugin and received the keyfile around 15 minutes ago so here is a version using my new "toy" ("Aerial Hall" preset, 50% Dry/Wet):

Ingo Weidner - RayBlaster - PietWT Pad 1 (VVV 1)

I add my waves too here Ingo so we keep them all all in one thread if you don't mind ;)


More waveforms for Rayblaster here

The archive include two folders:

1. ElextraX filters (almost all, only the EQ filters has been excluded). The impulses has been sampled using a Saw waveform in Analog mode with the Amp Simulation on with different cutoff levels (see file names).

2. Waves sampled from hardware synths:

- Some analog waveforms from a DIY prototype
- Arp Avatar
- Some Blofeld waves
- CS1-X
- Gakken SX-150
- Korg Z1
- Roland SH-201
- Siel Mono
- Some custom Virus waves

This archive includes also some filter types from Crisalys


Enjoy ;)

Hi,

Do you have the permission to sample this synthesizer?

Most seem to be VA and no ROMplers so should be no problem there.
Anyway those are single cycle waves in Mono which hardly counts as samples (i know that this is no easy topic). THose are mostly done to get the filter responses and mostly those use a Saw wave. Other waveshapes could be created by Rayblaster using the PW sequences.

If you talk about Crisalis it's his own synth.  :)

Thanks Ingo, for all your informations on this. I have discovered some fantastic timbres with filter response import on RB and got a good start from your texts. One thing is that it reacts very well with importing other synths' formant filters as well as the conventional pole filters. I also notice that choosing lower negative harmonic OSC settings ,shifts' the phase of the loaded waveform due to the 'zooming in' nature of the Harmonic control. So if one wishes to get generally the same sound one had at Harmonic setting 1 on Harmonic setting -68 (for example) then one will have to move the phase of the OSC waveform because it is not locked when 'zooming' in or out of the wave.

Anyway, the filter/resonance response emulations are fairly close to what I'm importing. It's a lot of fun to see what the familiar sound can do in Rayblaster. It's also nice to move the phase of an imported waveform to around the 50% area to just get the resonant harmonics of the wave.

Have you discovered anything new with RB recently?
