An optical compressor with saturator plugin in JUCE.

Opto-Beta : Optical compressor with saturator

1. Overview

   

2. Structure

3. Description

   • Saturator : tube warm function + tanh (soft overdrive) , 4x oversampling , SSE optimized.

   • LDR(Photoresistor) : led voltage vs resistance ratio lookup table + RC circuit emulated LDR behaviour.

4. FAQs

   • Q: Is it a 'zero latency' compressor?
   • A: If you turn 'Sat off' on , the saturator will be bypassed, then it works as 'zero latency' compressor.
   • Q: Where are the 'attack' 'release' parameter?
   • A: In this LDR based compressor , these parameter will determined by input signal.
   • Q: Is it a high quality plugin?
   • A: I'm new to DSP or JUCE , make mistakes is possible. I tried to improve it , test it a lot.

opto-beta-compressor's Issues

Mac Port Ldr Modelling

I'm porting the code to OsX, I was able to compile the code removing the saturation classes. I'm also refactoring the code to make it more object oriented friedly. I like how the compressor sounds, but I'm a bit confused on how it works. Could you please explain a bit on how the ldr was modelled.
