Hi Ken, Have you tried ecasound? Here you will find some auto-wah presets (this is what google came up with but I believe that file is installed by default with ecasound). http://cvs.seul.org/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/sound/ecasound/effect_presets?rev=1.9 I used it on this song here: http://creazone.ca/snd/mangermanger.mp3 I guess I tweaked it to my needs but it's been so long ago... ./MiS On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 1:24 PM, Ken Restivo<ken@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, Jul 09, 2009 at 10:25:49AM -0600, Ernie Dulanowsky wrote: >> What about using separate envelope follower and filter plugins to make your >> own auto-wah ? >> >> cheers, >> ernie >> >> On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 8:24 PM, Ken Restivo <ken@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> > For several years I've lusted away over the Clavinet-through-Auto-Wah >> > sound: the Stevie Wonder sound (also used notably by Herbie Hancock, >> > Medeski, Martin and Wood, and others). >> > >> > The problem is that either the LADSPA auto-wah plugin doesn't quite cut it, >> > or the Clav soundfont I found on Hammersound several years ago doesn't have >> > enough dynamic range to really make the thing "wah" in any noticeable way. >> > >> > Am I doing something wrong here, or is the plugin not quite the best >> > implementation, and if so, are there any better ones?

Well after digging into it a bit, it seems as though a proper "wah" effect is an LPF with a resonant peak at the rolloff point: > > http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/wahpedl/wahped.htm > > Apparently very easy to do in hardware (2 transistors, couple caps, and an inductor), but I'm not sure where I'd find a LADSPA plugin with this particular frequency response characteristic. > > Looks like Rakarrack has a wah, and "alien wah" (from Zyn?) and an auto-wah of its own.
