Future features

May 28, 2022

For the next versions of the Escalador Audio, we plan to include:

• The creation of ‘Normal chords’ feature.
The chords window now has two buttons for the creation of Random chords and Normal chords.

The Normal chords are conformed by fixed frequencies, unlike the Random chords that are conformed by random frequencies.

It was implemented on February 19th 2023…

• A button to correct some audio issues.
It was implemented on September 29th 2022…

• A floating window for the Instrument Nº 1′s Duration parameter.
It was implemented on may 30th 2022…

• Two more instruments, Instrument Nº 2, and Instrument Nº 3.
We are working for the implementation of two more instruments. Of course these instruments (2 and 3) are more complex timbrically speaking, so we are very exited waiting for the moment of the release of these instruments.

• We implemented the Vibrato On & Off
It can be used clicking the V keyboard key of the computer

or

Clicking the V button

It was implemented on March 6th 2025

• We implemented the Save Reverberator Parameters on the contextual menu.

It was implemented on March 6th 2025

Acknowledgments

April 25, 2022

We wish to thank all the people, for their contribution to the Escalador application;

• First of all, my wife Vicky Estevez for her constant and invaluable support.

• My son, the composer and percussionist Daniel González Estévez, for his invaluable support within all the years of conception of the Escalador platform. Every time I asked him for advises or critics, his answers where very useful and helpful.

• Williams Montesinos

We would like to say here that from about the year 2016 to present days of 2022, Williams Montesinos and Oswaldo Gonzalez – the creator of the Escalador platform – have had many conversations about the possibility of using temperaments other than the one based on the 1200 cents convention, that is to say, the official temperament established and known as the Equal Temperament (12-TET). Also one of our favorite conversation theme was the division of the tone on some unusual parts, also the creations of any type of scales, then we arrived little by little to think about the problem of frequencies spaces and its divisions. So, those conversations, sometimes very long ones, where in some extent, a significant incentive for the general conception of the Escalador application.

Audio requirements

April 21, 2022

• For a Mac mini computer (or other computer) with a processor of 2.6 GHz 64-Bit Intel Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM, we recommend for the audio output: 2 channels 16-bit Integer (or 24 bits integer) @ 44.1 kHz

 

• Or 2 channels 32-bit Float @ 44.1 kHz (we recommend this set for a Mac Pro late 2013, 2019 release in our case) rather than 2 channels 32-bit Float @ 48 kHz

 


• Depending of your system, you can choose higher values, for example, 2 channels 32-bit float @ 96 kHz

 

• We recommend a very useful equalizer: Audio Equalizer, that can be used with the Escalador Audio.

 

Of course, if you have adequate performance audio hardware, you can turn off Audio Equalizer in order to use your sound hardware equipment.
