Vibrato plugins - which options do we have?

Hey guys, I may totally oversee here some plugins I also may already have, but I was playing around with my Zoom MS70 yesterday and wondered about vibrato plugins and FX in our iOS world. Open my eyes... thanks

    Perforator can also be used as a vibrato or tremolo if the wet signal is turned down:

    FAC Chorus - slow and fast vibrato presets
    Eventide MicroPitch - two half vibratos make a whole?
    Eventide Rotary Mod - why vibrato when you can Lesley?

    Many chorus effects can vibrato

  • I was going to add Johnny (Holderness) but it doesn’t seem to be in the store any more.

  • Classic fx includes vibrato in many of the settings.

  • Oh yeah, forgot those ones, good call. Also:

    AtomizerFX
    Gyrovibe
    PhaseDelayArray
    Rp-1

  • Also of course.... Use mpe synths. If u don't have an mpe keyboard, then just use kb-1 or velocity keyboard to play these.

    your volume and pan control - mapped to any lfo (aum)

  • That would not be vibrato @noob, because there would be no change in pitch. That would just be tremolo.

  • edited June 2020

    ouf your right going back to my cage , btw yes the free stuff mentioned works well

  • Haha, no worries man, it's a very commonly made mistake.

    Thanks for clarifying, @Gavinski.
    @noob , I love your hair

  • Hey guys, WOW! Thank you all a ton! I love this community. So quick all this knowledge put together and my question answered. Awesome

    I took Modley. Which is pretty much exactly what I looked for. As I can also quickly put some in a row. Never would have thought of modley. Haha, thanks!!!

  • Aleksander Mlasev’s Vibrato isn’t bad for guitar pedal style vibrato https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vibrato-audio-unit-effect/id1253371776

    There are also univibe models in the Positive Grid and in Tone Stack that are quite nice.

    Last 4pockets has a nice one https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vintage-vibe-auv3-plugin/id1431730020

    Well, that just sucks.
    Such a great little app.

    Tiger-lily Tremolo $2

    Tremolo changes volume not pitch. Vibrato changes pitch. Though the Tiger-Lily Tremolo is very nice. Holderness Johnny still works, but is also a tremolo, and not a vibrato.

  • Tbh I don’t really know the difference between chorus and Vibrato; so I first tried to get my desired results with FAC Chorus...

    Chorus is technically a short delay whereas vibrato changes the pitch

  • I'm considering the idea of scripting a midi based vibrato that would use pitch bend or optionally midi cc rather than audio processing. The basic idea would be a free running LFO with expressive controls for shape, speed, pitch amplitude and volume amplitude. There would also be "bias" controls for pitch and volume to allow, for instance, modulating pitch more upward than downward.

    The advantage would be possibly higher audio quality than doing pitch modulation on the audio stream, and also the ability to record the pitch bend (or cc) automation in a host app.

    This would not be MPE expression. It would be a single pitch bend or cc message stream affecting a whole synth, not individual notes.

    I'm wondering if it's worth it?

  • I`m pretty sure a chorus without the dry signal mixed in its in fact a Vibrato...

    Yes!!!!! And please allow some random shapes or even better: random shaped LFO mixed with sine/tri

    They’re still modeled after physical things, vibrato is me moving the guitar string quickly, chorus is five of me playing the same lick at the same time

    Not really, "five of you" equals a 5 lines chorus (only if each copy is different).A simple BBD chorus is just one LFO modulating a delay line = Changing the pitch, and then summed with the dry signal, so a single line "alone" its a vibrato.

    Mozaic has Sine, Cosine, Square, Triangle, RampUp, RampDown, and SH LFOs out of the box and those will be available. I'm not sure I want to get into mixing LFO shapes. I'll keep it in mind though.

    Chorus and vibrato are very similar in terms of the underlying mechansim, and many chorus pedals will do vibrato.

    The "slow vibrato" preset in FAC Chorus is my favorite.

    Hey @Synthi and others - I just uploaded Mr. VIBE, a midi based approach to vibrato. It allows you to "play" LFOs to send pitch bend and/or modulation to apps. The help description below sounds complicated, but this can be very simple to get started with. Simply send the Mozaic output to a synth that responds to pitch bend, then play with the Bend Range and Speed 1 controls for some expressive vibrato.

    I'm pretty pleased with the way this one turned out. I might even actually use this one. :D

    https://patchstorage.com/mr-vibe-midi-vibrato/


    Mr. VIBE - Midi Vibrato
    Send expressive pitch bend and/or a midi CC vibrato to apps.

    There are two LFOs. The first, or "main", one modulates the pitch bend and cc value outputs. The second can modulate the first LFO to produce more interesting variations. The Range Controls affect the range of values output. LFO controls affect the shape, speed, and mix of the LFOs.

    Tapping SHIFT toggles between a performance view with faders, a combined view with knobs and includes additional settings, and the help view. The numeric value of the knobs and faders is shown over the XY pad as you move them. The XY pad can be switched between showing an animation of the output values and for use as a dual control for selected controls.

    A simple way to get started is just to set an app that responds to pitch bend to receive from Mozaic, then play with Bend Range and Speed 1 to make some interesting vibrato. You can get a lot of expression out of just these two controls. 👍🏼(Hint: tap SHIFT to get to the settings view and then set the XY control to these two parameters for an expressive one-finger control.)

    RANGE CONTROLS
    ▪︎ BEND RANGE: Sets the range of movement of the pitch bend modulation
    ▪︎ BEND BIAS: Offsets range above or below the center
    ▪︎ MOD RANGE: Sets the range of movement of the cc modulation around the mid value
    ▪︎ MOD BIAS: Sets the center of the range above or below the mid value

    LFO CONTROLS
    ▪︎ SHAPE 1: The shape of the main LFO
    ▪︎ SPEED 1: The speed in Hz. (cycles per second) of the main LFO
    ▪︎ SHAPE 2: The shape of the secondary LFO
    ▪︎ SPEED 2: The speed of the secondary LFO
    ▪︎ MOD 2>1: The amount that the secondary LFO modulates the main LFO

    OTHER
    ▪︎ MOD CC: Sets the cc# that is output from the MOD values
    ▪︎ MIDI CHANNEL PAD: Tap to cycle through output channels.
    ▪︎ MIDI THRU PAD: Tap to choose whether to send other Midi through the plugin or to block it
    ▪︎ X MODE PAD: Tap to cycle through Animate mode for the XY Pad or the control to link to the X axis when moved.
    ▪︎ Y MODE PAD: Tap to ycle through controls to link to the Y axis when not in Animate mode.

    NOTES
    ▪︎ IMPORTANT: To reduce CPU use and battery drain, the output timer is stopped when Bend AND Mod Range are at zero or when Speed for both LFOs are at zero. It is good practice to turn Bend and Mod Range to zero when not in use.
    ▪︎ If the default maximum LFO speed is too high or low, adjust the max_speed variable in the @UserTweaks section at the top of the script.
    ▪︎ There is also a timer_interval variable in @UserTweaks. This sets the rate of messages output in milliseconds. Setting too low may overwhelm some apps. Setting too high may result in audible "steppiness".

  • I was just going to post about this @wim looks like another great script. Thanks for another awesome Mozaic Script. Going to test her out now. Cheers.
