Waveform modification.

[CK]

Hello everyone.
I'm new to this forum but I use Gforce all the time.

I would change the waveform called "Thunderation"
I find it amazing.

It is composed of two lines only.

I think it would be even beautiful if the interior was painted in solid color or vertical lines, see the picture (phShop).



Is it possible to edit the file and get a result like this?
I would be very happy to hear this, if anyone knows how to do.

Thank you very much !!

CK, did you mean you want to enhance the waveshape "Thunderation" (expected for the next release)? I don't get it. Thus you might not know your programming skills yet.

Have FrankN or BTT look forward to it, or see http://www.soundspectrum.com/g-force/Do ... mming.html for the syntax list.

Hello CK

Below is the WaveShape coding as written by Tomi Sajaniemi.

To modify his work to meet your requirements you will need to have some programming knowledge, something I cannot help you with. Should you or anyone else modify the authors work you must acknowledge the original authors name in your version.


// Thunderation by Tomi Sajaniemi

Stps="2 * NUM_FFT_BINS"

C0="s * 2 - 1"
C1=".6 * fft( 1 - trwv( 2 * s ) )"

X0="c0"
Y0="C1"
X1="C0"
Y1="-C1"

LWdt="2"
Pen="1"
ConB=1

Meta="reactive=4 detail=4 density=4 morphable=4"
Vers=270

The problem is in the original code, there are two lines, X0/Y0 and X1/Y1. You can define the attributes of each X/Y pair in terms of thickness (Lwdt) and color (Pen), but there is no way to do a fill operation (even if you WERE clever enough to define the two lines as a single (X/Y) entity... which IS theoretically possible).

You COULD define/calculate SEVERAL MORE X/Ys and attempt to use as fill, but it would most likely be rather fugly.

[DanPin]

That's what I told him! He doesn't know his programming skills.

CK, please see the above link, or open "Rotating Corridor.txt" for a brief description of writing configs.

Hello DanPin

Both you, and CK should take notice of the information posted by jerohm who does have the best coding skills of anyone on this forum.

Remember what Frank told you regarding the WaveShapes you posted on the forum (now deleted). You cannot rip off other authors work. He encouraged you to experiment writing your own original configs. I hope to see some of your work soon.

Hi all

First, a real thank for your advises.

I'll try several techniques you recommend me,
and give up the idea to mod a waveform from authors.


I'll keep you informed.
thx again for your efficiency and rapidity in the forum !

Hello CK

I think I may have confused you. SoundSpectrum encourage people to experiment with existing configs, saying this is the best way to learn how to create your own configs. You can use part of a config's code as long as you give credit to the original author.

Couple of examples:-

/* Qubik by JRM

The ORIGINAL config was created by Thomas Geier (ziggystar(at)gmx.de), who made the programming, and Aaron Pinsker, who had the idea for this.
*/

// Good Vibrations; Dummied down "Spinning Plane" by Andy O
// ReWrite/Modified JRM

Hope this clarifies things, and look forward to seeing some configs from you.

CK - Num=1 should be the original presentation
Num=25 or Num=10 isn't what you ask for, but interesting.
You can play with 'Num' and 'Lwdt'.
far from perfect... but close (enough???) ...

Code: Select all

// Thanks to Tomi Sajaniemi

// modified to simulate 'fill' - jrm

Stps="2 * NUM_FFT_BINS"
Num=50                             // "choice({1, 10, 25, 50})"

A0="s * 2 - 1"
A1="1 - trwv( 2 * s )"
A2="max(1, Num -1)"

B0="select(Id, B0, .6 * fft( A1 ))"
B1="B0 * ((A2-Id)/A2)"

X0="A0", Y0=" B1"
X1="A0", Y1="-B1"


LWdt="1.5"  
Pen="1"   
ConB=1

Vers=500

Love the creativity in this thread! Jerohm's solution is the best that I can think of. I'm definitely looking forward to what you come up with.

Thanks, except it needs one thing: make it more dynamic!

Code: Select all

Pen=".2 + (.9 * fft(s))"

Try it.

[jerohm]

Thanks, except it needs* one MORE thing: keep it symmetric
( at least )

Code: Select all

Pen=".2 + (.9 * fft(A1))"

and arguably, this might make MORE sense...

Code: Select all

B2="select(Id, 1-fft(A1)/2, 1)" 
Pen="B2" 

or maybe....

Code: Select all

// Thanks to Tomi Sajaniemi

ConB=1
Stps="2 * NUM_FFT_BINS"

Num="choice({1,10,50})"
A0=" choice({(Num!=50)*.7+.3, 1})"	// Retain Author's ORIGINAL intention

A1="s * 2 - 1"
A2="1 - trwv( 2 * s )"
A3="max(1, Num -(Num==50))"


B0="select(Id, B0, .6 * fft( A2 ))"
B1="((A3-Id)/A3)"
B2="B0 * B1"

X0="A1", Y0=" B2"
X1="A1", Y1="-B2"

LWdt="1.5"  

B3="max(A0, B1 * (1- B0))"
Pen="B3" 

Vers=500

*** Note I shifted around variable assignment ***

*purely opinion

[DanPin]

It doesn't look that bad, but except I needed this to make it a little bit more clear than expected:

Code: Select all

LWdt="1.5 + BASS"

UPDATE: ...or for my convenience:

Code: Select all

A4="1 + rnd(1.5)"
LWdt="A4 + BASS"

Try one of those.

Hello DanPin

Pease do not start this stupidity AGAIN!!! - Over an hour; no response...

[DanPin]

Oops, sorry. I forgot.

...and please don't say that:

Pease do not start this stupidity AGAIN!!!

It's rude and inappropriate on the forums to do that. Thus, BTT, you're the admin here. Be nice, please.

Anyway, did you try the above I wanted you to do?
