Visco drums - very cool!

Two guys - one who previously worked for Ableton and the other who worked for Teenage Engineering released a new plugin a few months ago called Visco:

https://forever89.studio/

The basic premise is that you can load two samples, morph between them, tweak a lot of parameters, then sequence them as drum kits.

The demo is unlimited with just an occasional nag screen. I played with it for a few days, got some really intriguing results, so bought it.

I don’t usually just make drum loops, but this blurs the line between drums and other rhythmic components, so it’s easy to go in weird and wonderful directions with it.

    Still desktop only, right?

    Hmm looks cool.

    there is also this morphy thing, simple bare bones, have yet to try it, but free is good.


    Their other plugins seem worth checking out too.

    Looks interesting, but with a more reduced feature set.

  • GravitasGravitas

    dRambo can do this.

    Just passing through.

  • GravitasGravitas

    Oh and dRambo works on Apple Silicon.

    Still have Intel processors in my MacBook…

    Hmm, how? It seems to be merging the spectrum of the sounds into a new plane that you can then deform. Seems FFT or z-plane transformation must be at its core, and Drambo can’t do that (yet)

    I simplified it to morphing between samples and having randomization for the effects.
    Agreed dRambo can't do the things that you've mentioned yet however
    for the purpose of having two samples morphing from one to another
    to generate new sounds alongside using effects yes it can do this.

    This interests me, how would you morph two samples (not cross fade)?
    I would think you’d have to get both samples through a separate filter bank, then multiply the respective bands, and finally regenerate the morphed sound by having the multiplied bands modulate the amplitude of an osc bank tuned to the filter band frequencies, maybe even with env followers to modulate the amplitude of each band
    Am I overthinking this?

    Ohhhhhhh.....

    I was thinking about having the samples modulating each other when being morphed
    as well as using various effects but what you're thinking about sounds very interesting.

    For effects I was thinking about using
    the FDN, BBD Resonator, Modal Resonator, Comb filter and Frequency shifter
    and we now have the Meta Randomizer module. :)

    Using filters is a given. ;)

    With Visco I think there’s something going on other than a simple crossfade as the morphing doesn’t result in muddiness. Moving the morphing slider is pretty smooth, so there’s some filtering to not get a cumulative mess.
