Hi all, I just released a new M4L device: Spectrum Sampler.

It samples and holds spectral components of the incoming signal. It can create inharmonic resonances, artifacts, dusty noises, drones, gliding sounds: a wide palette of amazing noises.

Real nice... looking forward to playing with this one. Thanks.

Another wicked device... let the glitching begin! :]

great stuff, the sound is phenominal, as always.

Quick question; I'm seeing a LOT of latency with this one, and as with most fft devices I wasn't all that surprised, but it looks like the window is only 1024 samples...?

Could it be the freqshifters before and after the fft that are causing the latency? I don't really need them, so I could simply delete those.

Wetterberg, do you have a bigger latency than the one you can hear in the video? In this case maybe there's a problem in the audio card settings: the delay shouldn't be very long. What platform are you using?

I don't think the freqshifters can cause too much latency, because they are in the time domain.

yeah it was a desperate measure ripping them out.

I think it was an envelope setting that was causing it, though - the 1024 frames certainly isn't the problem.

On another topic, we'd like to use this for our other band member, who doesn't use Live; should we just pay over paypal and then not download? What's the preferred method?

Ok, I hope you solved the latency problem.

Your band friend wants to use the device as a Max patch? Yes (s)he could order it and then copy and paste it in a patcher window (and also put all the externals generated by the "unfreeze device" command in the search path).

yeah, I've already tested, it works fine.

i just bought it . its amazing how far you can go with it . Im not a fan of too freaky tools that make everything atonal which is useful for effecting or drumming but not for the musical tone aspect of my work .

But this device definitely can do both and im verry happy u didnt gone too far with UI/UX and the amount of controls :) fantastic work , incredible concept . Thank you
