# Diopser
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You were expecting Disperser[¹](#disperser), but it was me, Diopser!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Diopser lets you rotate the phase of a signal around a specific frequency
|
|
|
|
|
without affecting its spectral content. This effect can be used to emphasize
|
|
|
|
|
transients and other parts of a sound that in a way that isn't possible with
|
|
|
|
|
regular equalizers or dynamics processors, especially when applied to low
|
|
|
|
|
pitched or wide band sounds. More extreme settings will make everything sound
|
2022-06-04 02:21:47 +10:00
|
|
|
like a cartoon laser beam, or a psytrance kickdrum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because this plugin lets you crank every parameter up to 11, you may want to
|
|
|
|
|
avoid rapidly sweeping the frequency parameter down all the way to 5 Hertz when
|
|
|
|
|
you have many filter stages enabled. Because of the way these filters work, this
|
|
|
|
|
may cause comparatively loud resonances in the 0-15 Hertz range. In that case
|
|
|
|
|
you may want to use a peak limiter after this plugin until you understand how it
|
|
|
|
|
reacts to different changes, or maybe you'll want to check out [Safety
|
|
|
|
|
Limiter](../safety_limiter), which is made for this exact purpose.

This is a port of https://github.com/robbert-vdh/diopser with more features and
|
|
|
|
|
much better performance.

On macOS you may need to [disable
|
|
|
|
|
Gatekeeper](https://disable-gatekeeper.github.io/) as Apple has recently made it
|
|
|
|
|
more difficult to run unsigned code on macOS.

### Building

|
|
|
|
|
2022-03-04 22:49:36 +11:00
|
|
|
After installing [Rust](https://rustup.rs/) with the nightly toolchain (because
|
2022-03-08 05:51:38 +11:00
|
|
|
of the use of SIMD), you can compile Diopser as follows:
|
2022-02-16 04:30:45 +11:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
2022-03-08 08:07:57 +11:00
|
|
|
cargo +nightly xtask bundle diopser --release
|
2022-02-16 04:30:45 +11:00
|
|
|
```
