Messing around with the Tech Audio Tools plugin in #UnrealEngine 5.6 -- not quite ready to save presets here since binding a SpinBox doesn't seem to be as straightforward, but hey it's making noises...
(thanks @ebuch.bsky.social @dannthr.bsky.social for the tutorial stream a few weeks back!!)

Playing with some of the experimental features in #MetaSounds through the #UnrealEngine 5.6 preview.
First instinct was to add an option for stereo filters as configurable nodes...picture this as a job for CAT down the line though(?)
Built-in audio modulated delay is my new go-to noisemaker :)

First visual experiment in a while, running off MetaSound output watchers.
Looks like there's something of an unintended stim vibe going on here.
Bit flickery on the screen capture.

Working on a couple of new FM nodes with audio rate phase input. Not sure if the setup is quite right, but gosh the feedback is nice either way.
Toned down for this video, but watch your speakers all the same 🫣

First steps toward a pattern stream. Declared a custom type and learned a few things along the way. Just sending random numbers and triggers for now, but it works!

For all its functional impracticalities, I maintain that the Reverse Amen Sort (see Forrester, Jenkinson et al., 1996) is criminally underrepresented in DSA syllabi.

PS compression probably rendered that illegible! Sequence:
0 [12 19] x2 [0 7 2] x3 4 2
(weird notation but whitespace parse was the easiest way to make a start)

Hey @minuskelvin.bsky.social 1st (messy) proof of concept.
Fascinating how much this idea exposes the limits of the system. Timing a key issue obvs- thinking of Quartz-style handles.
I have a lot of thoughts on this more generally though + prob need to write them down. V interested in your take.

Embedding MIDI information in a .wav file as a way to test a custom "String To Array" node for #UnrealEngine #MetaSounds.
Labelled some markers with MIDI pitch and velocity in Reaper, exported as cues in the wave asset. String To Array enables breaking this info out into int32s to map as needed.

Got the rhythmic bit I wanted to try working!
Going to take some more work to get the repetition in place but at least the subsequences are parsing ok. I like the idea of sequencing like this, but guess timing is off with the deferred variables.
Clock within a node like this makes sense...

Test rig so far -- trying to keep it practical and idiomatic every step, and this could just about be patched (with help from a couple of new array nodes). Started sketching out a class/type last night, these outputs represent some of the info I picture handling.
MS is a dream to prototype in!
