Intuitive Control: X-Y Panel
At the heart of the plugin lies an interactive X-Y panel. By moving the cursor, you control two key parameters simultaneously:
- X-axis: Playback speed – from slow scratch to fast repeats.
- Y-axis: LowPass Filter – shapes the sound’s timbre.
Optionally, the Y-axis can also control the volume. This visual control is ideal for dynamic effects.
Pitched and Grainy Modes
Daft Funk offers two different ways to process speed:
- “Pitched”: Speed changes the pitch of the sound, like on a sampler. The sound is resampled.
- “Grainy”: Speed maintains the pitch by changing the size of the audio “grain.” Creates unique granular textures.
Choose the mode depending on the desired effect: classic speed/pitch changes or modern texture experiments.
Synchronization and Control Options
For convenient integration and flexibility:
- Synchronization: “BPM” (with tempo) or “Free”.
- Note Subdivisions: In “BPM” mode, choose a rhythmic grid.
- Y->Vol: Assigns volume control to the Y-axis (option).
- Zero – X: In “Grainy” mode, reduces clicks with fast changes (consider the impact on extreme speeds).
- X and Y spring: “Spring” buttons for automatic return of sliders.
Creative Settings
Fine-tuning is possible with:
- Smooth: Smoothes the X/Y movement. High values give a slow response – ideal for smooth “sweeps”.
- Grain size: In “Free” mode, sets the audio grain size.
These knobs allow you to more precisely shape the effects and create unique textures.
Daft Funk by Klanglabs is a powerful VST effect for adding dynamics, groove, and unpredictability to your tracks. With intuitive X-Y control, “Pitched” and “Grainy” modes, synchronization options, and creative knobs, it provides all the tools to create unique glitches and textures. Ideal for electronic music and experimentation. Make your sound unforgettable with Daft Funk!
