Sustenato Pedal

A VST Plugin that provides infinite piano-like sustain, using transient detection, autocorrelation, a phase vocoder and more.

Features:

  • Infinite sustain - let your notes and chords ring out for as long as you like.
  • Fade In/Out - adjust the speed at which the sustain fades in/out.
  • Wet/Dry - adjust your mix.
  • Layering - select however many layers you want to stack sustained notes and chords.
  • Compatible with any Keyboard-emulating foot-switch/pedal - control the sustain with your feet, as you would an FX pedal.
  • INCONSISTENT Works with trills and vibrato
  • Force Period - Uses a phase vocoder to stretch recorded samples to the set period. Wait less time before pressing the pedal.
    • Not compatible with trills and vibrato

Recommended Usage:

  • Best used as a live tool, whether for a live performance or recording
  • Having a foot-switch/pedal is not necessary, but highly recommended (as you use your hands to play the instrument)
  • Not tested as a post-processing tool
  • Easiest to set it up in a VST Host

Usage Instructions:

  • Place the VST plugin anywhere in your plugin chain.
  • Open the plugin's editor window and ensure it is in focus whenever you want to use it
    • If the window is not in focus, it will not receive keyboard events, hence you won't be able to toggle the sustainer using a keyboard key/foot-switch/pedal
  • Upon playing any note/chord, press your corresponding sustain keybind
    • If you press it too quickly after playing, the sustained sound may not be clear/smooth. This can be used intentionally to create different effects, or can be reset quickly by re-triggering the keybind, given no new notes are played.

Designed for use with Electric Guitars and Amp Sims.

Compatibility:

Works with Windows. Not tested, but it should work on Linux/Mac as well.

  • Cantabile 4
