Could also mean we would need more than just 2 dimensional plots. * UI: Play the sound and show the path/filename when hovering/clicking with mouse over point * UI: allow to select which folders will be considered in the (2D) plot User is responsible for having meaningful file names of rendered audio files allowing to trace back to preset of an individual plugin * allow to add folder paths (or "directories") for scanning of rendered audio files. Without proper tagging presets cannot be found easily - even with prehear functions as no one will listen to thousands of sounds before making a decision.Ĭlustering along sonic similarity done by machines is an efficient substitute for the tedious manual tagging process employed nowadays.įor a simple prototype I would start with a stand alone application that only does the browsing: Manufacturers have introduced more sophisticated ways of browsing over time, with NI NKS probably being the most advanced at this point especially when combined with their plugin control via Komplete Kontrol which also covers the parameter mapping alongside the browsing experience.īut all preset browsers irrespective of the vendor suffer from the effort required to tag the presets with actual language: Every preset has to be tagged manually by a human by all sorts of characteristics (say "trumpet, "airy", "polyphonic", "sampled". Reason is simple: People are sitting on libraries of 10s of thousands of patches/presets spread across many different software instruments. Generally speaking, I believe that this type of clustering has a great future. The examples in your latest video seem to work really well. ![]() Would be very interested if you find this useful.Ĭool. Pyton script that draws the plot, plays the sounds and loads presets into Reaper Python scripts to extract audio features from wavs(very basic) ![]() LUA Script to render a folder of presets into a folder of wav files The idea is not new, currently XLNaudio does this for drum sounds with XO and this seems to be based on a google paper īut until now, no one has done this for synths and there is no product out, so I thought to give it a try. So if you find a sound (or know it) you can search its surrounding for similar sounds. Idea behind it is, that I am trying to build a more musically oriented browsing and to find out how good I can map the sounds by similarity with an algorithm. The video is linked via dropbox( hope tats OK to everyone). You can prelisten every sound (each dot is a preset) and directly load it into reaper. The presets are ordered by similarity via a machine learning algorithm (tsne) and I am working to improve this. I build a rough prototype for browsing Halion presets that shows all preset on a 2D graph. ![]() Wanted to ask for feedback, if my idea is worth continuing. Its my first post for Reaper, just started a few month ago to work with it. This is the new one, more info at the end
