Purpose

Deep Beast is a bass and body instrument built for the low end. Six modes share one performance surface: clean sub, squelchy acid, detuned reese, bouncy rubber, percussive pluck, and aggressive beast. Each mode has its own oscillator recipe, filter character, and envelope shape, but they all respond to the same set of controls so you can switch character mid-performance.

TouchDesigner Use

Wire note_voices_f32_v1 into the voices input from MIDI Note, an arpeggiator, a bassline composer, or any note-voice source. Choose a mode, shape the sound with the performance controls, and wire the stereo audio output to Device Out, an effect chain, or a mixer.

Inputs And Outputs

• Input 0: voices — note_voices_f32_v1 (required). Gate, pitch, velocity, and aftertouch per voice.
• Output 0: out — stereo audio (PCM f32).

Main Controls

• Mode — Voice character: sub (sine/tri blend), acid (saw/square with resonant filter sweep), reese (5-voice detuned saw), rubber (bouncy square/tri), pluck (saw + noise burst into delay body), beast (saw/square/noise with wavefold distortion).
• Gain — Output level.
• Drive — Pre-filter saturation amount.
• Tone — Brightness multiplier on the filter cutoff.
• Cutoff — Base filter cutoff (0-1, mapped logarithmically to Hz).
• Resonance — Filter Q. Higher values in acid mode produce the characteristic squelch.
• Envamount — How much the amplitude envelope sweeps the filter cutoff. Negative values invert the sweep.
• Decay — Envelope decay time. Controls both amplitude and filter decay.
• Sub — Sub-oscillator level (one octave below).
• Detune — Unison detune in cents. Most prominent in reese mode (5-voice) and beast mode (3-voice).
• Width — Stereo spread of unison voices. Low-frequency content is kept centered.
• Glide — Portamento speed between notes.
• Punch — Pitch envelope transient. Snaps the pitch upward on note attack then drops to the target.
• Body — Delay-line resonator level. Adds physical warmth in pluck mode and sub-harmonic body in other modes.
• Accent — Velocity and aftertouch sensitivity on filter and gain.
• Beast — Wavefold distortion depth. Most dramatic in beast mode but adds grit to any mode.
• Limiter — Output safety limiter.

Notes

• Up to 8 polyphonic voices, though the instrument is designed primarily for mono or low-polyphony bass lines.
• Pluck and rubber modes seed the delay line with noise on note-on for a physical-model-like transient.
• The limiter uses adaptive gain reduction with fast attack and slow release to prevent clipping without pumping.
