In this video I’m showcasing my third VFX script, Harp — a hop/harp-like automatic crescendo effect that lets you get those “rip up/down the strings” vibes with only one MIDI note. I start with a super basic Serum patch and a simple pattern, then I route the VFX script and suddenly that single C6 turns into a whole cascade of notes that rushes into the target note. It’s one of those things where the source is nothing to write home about, and then the script makes it feel like an actual musical gesture. I break down the main controls: the time base + time multiplier (BPM-synced) determine how long it takes for the crescendo notes to reach your played note, and the timing curve changes how the spacing between notes behaves (equal timing at zero, then more linear/exponential-style feel above or below). Then in the harp settings I show direction (up/down), velocity multiplier for more dynamic motion, and lower/higher limits so you can avoid super rumbly lows or push into glittery highs. I also talk about CPU: this can be a lot of notes really fast, so release and polyphony matter. Finally, the quantize section lets you pick key/scale (including pentatonics), and I show how I automate parameters like time multiplier and direction to get those colorbase/chip-ish textures and bigger movement without manually writing a million notes.
