What follows are five more software possibilities for personal/private streaming service generation:

Find a wifi network, offline and go!Īnd yet PLEX/Plexamp isn’t the only way to stream losslessly from a home computer’s hard-drive to a smartphone. The kicker, however, is another slice of streaming service emulation: Plexamp permits the temporary offlining of any album to its downloads section – useful if we don’t wish to eat any of our smartphone’s monthly data allocation whilst out and about. In effect, we have our own private Tidal or Qobuz!įrom its settings menu, Plexamp lets us optionally drop the streaming quality from lossless to (OPUS codec) lossy for on-the-fly server-side transcoding - our choice of bitrate up to 320kbps. Now PLEX/Plexamp behaves more like Spotify! With PLEX and Plexamp permanently joined via an encrypted Internet connection, our hard drive’s contents are available to us anywhere, all of the time.

Experiment with different values to create different textures.Last week’s short film about PLEX and Plexamp showed how we can turn a multi-TB library of FLAC files into a personal/private streaming service:ġ) Connect the hard-drive to a computer and install PLEX for it to scan the hard drive’s contents, index the library and overlay a Roon-like layer of metadata: album info, cover art, artist bios, photos etc.Ģ) To stream any album losslessly from PLEX over the Internet to our smartphone we need to install Plexamp (Android, iOS) - an app that usefully preserves PLEX’s metadata layer. For pad-like sounds try Low Cut around 250 and High Cut around 2K. 'When using the Plex Verb the Low Cut and High Cut are very powerful controls. Values beyond +/-100% increase the apparent image beyond the stereo field. This is similar to the Feedback parameter in the regular Delay block. When attaching a pedal to Off/Stack/Hold, Heel is Off, Stack is middle and Toe is Hold. Hold/Stack can be controlled with an External controller. When set to STACK, incoming audio is stacked on existing audio and held. This can be used to achieve pad sounds and drone notes/chords. When HOLD is activated, the wet input to the block is muted and feedback is set to infinity.

The Owner's Manual recommends these settings: Threshold -70, Attack 400, Release 15. The Plex Delay has its own envelope follower, allowing volume swells. You may get better results when increased.

This parameter is available for the Shimmer Verb only. The Cross-fade parameter has been removed.įor the Plex Detune type, the Cross-fade parameter has been renamed Granule Length. Filter can be any of the standard types (all types except comb filter types). There's an adjustable filter in the block's wet signal. The Reverb block can also create shimmer reverb effects. The Plex Shift is even a little less CPU-hungry. The Shimmer Verb type is a little easier to dial in (increase Shimmer Intensity), but don't overlook the power of the Plex Shift type. The Plex Shift type and Shimmer Verb type both produce the shimmer effect. In current firmware, the block supports Spillover between presets. Search the Factory presets page for 'Plex'. The Plex Delay block is showcased in many factory presets.

Shimmer Verb - shimmer effect, see below.

For best results turn the Diffusion Mix up when using this type. Simple to use with no time, tempo, level or pan parameters required.

Plex Verb - large, ethereal reverb sounds.

Plex Detune - detuned delays, or pitch detune.

On the Axe-Fx II, AX8 and FX8, its functionality is part of the Multi Delay block. It provides up to 8 delay lines in a feedback arrangement for ethereal “shimmer” effects. The Plex Delay is a dedicated effect block on the Axe-Fx III, FM9 and FM3.
