*** UPDATE - New bug-fixed version is uploaded 27 Feb 08 ***


bent is a circuit-bent resynthesis effect. It will recreate the incoming audio into an approximation of itself using a waveform-morphing audio oscillator. Depending on the volume and pitch of the audio, it will gate, stutter and morph the output in sync with your host tempo

controls
jitter - this controls the probability of the tempo-sync gating
morph - this controls the probability of the tempo-sync osc waveform morphing
grain - this controls the depth of the tempo-sync granulator effect

Note: The gate, morph and grain effects all work at a selection of tempo-sync rates, depending on the pitch & volume of the incoming audio


tune - this controls the master pitch of the outgoing audio
0 = on pitch
-1 = 1 octave below
x = broken setting, switches between 0 and -1 depending on a combination of the jitter & morph sliders

amp - this controls the master output volume

credits
Thanks to runagate for the inspiration for this effect, it wouldn't have happened without your crazy ideas, keep 'em comin' man

Big huge thanks to shallow, for helping with testing when I couldn't replicate the bugs, I owe you man

Thanks also to Eric Schmiedl, Boston Commercial Photographer, for permission to use and adapt his circuit board design for the GUI

Thanks for the 3rd party modules from Dave Haupt, Lance Putnam, Scoofster and Chris Kerry

Note for users of FL Studio 8.0
There is a known compatibility issue of bent with FL8. The plugin will load, but will not generate audio and will crash FL on deletion/replacement. This issue is only for FL8, there is no issue for FL7 or any other host. This is due to a bug in the FL VST wrapper, confirmed by Imageline (the makers of FL Studio).

Imageline have now released an update to FL8 which fixes the bug and allows the synth to work correctly
Click here to go to the Imageline forum thread where you can download the FL8 update
The update is 1.7MB and you unzip the contents into your FL8 directory. You need to be logged in to the forum to be able to download the update
