Hi folks,
It would be amazing to have a “speed” curve in the “Resynth” page!
So i mean, we draw a curve on the waveform display, and the “playline” slows down or speeds up according to that curve. Obviously, higher should be faster.
We can already sort of do this with automation in the DAW, but this would give amazing visual feedback and especially open up crazy possibilities for vocal mangling.
I never saw this feature in any sampler.
In fact, there’s an argument to be made to have the option to also draw such a curve for formant, scale, purity & accel.
For drums, this may all sound like overkill, but try importing some vocals and freaking them out with the “resynth page”, it’s pretty nuts!
So, like this:

Yeah. Backbone has crazy potential with its controls.
They aren’t really utilizing it to its full extent.
Having 3 or 4 drawable color coded curve layers to map to different parameters for internal “automated macro control” would basically convince people to get this over any sampler or or kick generator/synthesizer.
One thing I would add too, is for Backbone to at least analyze the waveform like Sonic Academy’s Kick 2 to get a quicker way to make kicks fit the mix. ( I make a new kick for every song, trying to minimize my comfort zone)
Having to use my ears at the moment works. (…)
But just having a semitone value doesn’t tell me where it’s actually at to start with and makes me spend more time adjusting by ear than if I could just set it by eye first to get it close enough for a quicker workflow.
Backbone is (to me) a sound design sampler.
It deserves some “overkill” features to stand out more.
People seem to overlook it on Youtube sound design videos, which is a shame.

Now you can use the modifiers in Cubase 
Sue, but we need these things inside the plugin, with visual feedback.
Anyway, I’m using Ableton.
