bartCollisionBox v1.0.0

bartCollisionBox is a collision-based rhythmic audio effect inspired by the movement of an object bouncing between surfaces.

Turn incoming audio into a sequence of impacts and reflections moving through a virtual collision space.

DISTANCE defines the time interval between the previous collision and the current one.
Each step has its own Distance value, allowing collisions to form regular or irregular rhythmic patterns.

PITCH changes the pitch of each individual collision.

TONE shapes the frequency character of each individual collision, allowing collisions to sound darker or brighter.

VOLUME controls the level of each individual collision.

STUTTER repeats the sound within an individual collision, creating short rhythmic bursts.

BOX shapes the size and behaviour of the virtual collision space, affecting the character of its internal reflections.

BOX RESONANCE emphasizes the reflections inside the virtual collision space, making them more pronounced and resonant.

CUTOFF controls the cutoff frequency of the global filter.

FILTER selects the filter behaviour used to shape the processed signal.

FILTER RESONANCE emphasizes frequencies around the filter cutoff point.

ATTACK controls how quickly each triggered collision reaches its full level.

DECAY controls how quickly each collision fades out.

GLIDE smooths pitch transitions between collisions.

THRESHOLD determines the input level required to trigger a new Impact.

STUTTER RATE controls the speed of the repetitions generated by the individual Stutter controls.

From fluid stutters and bouncing echoes to irregular rhythmic patterns, mechanical sequences and experimental sound manipulation.

DEVELOPMENT

bartCollisionBox is an original audio effect concept by bartFXAudio.

The concept, functionality, workflow, parameter design, testing, sound evaluation and creative direction were developed by bartFXAudio.

The software implementation was created with the assistance of AI. AI was used to write and develop the C++ / JUCE code according to the design, requirements, testing and feedback provided by bartFXAudio.
