Drum Module Mux

[FSM77]

Hi, its FSM77 here,

Mulab's MuDrum is a great tool for building drum kits. However, I always wanted to make something different, which looked more like a drum machine, but which also had plenty of versatility and a tidy interface...

Introducing the FSM77 Drum Module (Mulab 9).

This Mux features 8 discrete channels. Each channel has the usual basic controls i.e. Volume, Transpose, Attack, Decay and Pan.

You can add any sample you like to each of the 8 sample players. I have pre named them as examples only.

On top of these basic controls I have included 3 inserts per channel; ideal for your best plugins. There is also an Aux Send for one auxiliary effect. The auxiliary effect - whatever you choose - has its own return volume control.

Tips:
1) The auxiliary effect is great for adding a touch of reverb to your drums. This helps glue the kit together in a virtual space. Add reverb to taste per channel.

2) The inserts could be used as:
A) Pre EQ (typically hpf and lpf)
B) Compressor
C) Post EQ (typically an array of parametric EQ's)

Enjoy and leave feedback/requests, if you have any.

Hey, this is gold! Thanks a lot!

Hei. I tried this Mux with 9.2.19 and the Mux doesn't show up in my User Presets window. I already deleted the cache filed, but nothing. Is anyone having the same issue?

[oldcastle]

Is it a bug?

If I go Add Instrument Track -> Choose Instrument -> User Presets the Mux is not there. But if I go from a rack -> Insert Module, the Mux is there!

Am I missing something?

[FSM77]

I don't know why that's happening oldcastle, but I'm using 9.1.28 presently. I didn't know that 9.2.19 was available. Maybe it's just an upgrade glitch.

First of all: Thx FSM77 for sharing this!

On the "not listed" topic: It's because the "Add Instrument Track" only shows "Instrument" presets and MuLab regards a MUX patch an instrument if it contains a Polysynth module.

[oldcastle]

Understood. Thanks.

[mutools]

@Fsm: I wonder why you chose to use buttons for the inserts instead of module slots?

[FSM77]

@mutools: Thanks for this question. Basically the width of a plugin slot - at a useful size - is about double the width of a button at default size. Therefore, I chose the button to minimize the footprint of the drum module.

Aesthetics and all that jazz

[mutools]

I see.
Maybe it would indeed make sense to add an option in a front panel Plugin Slot to show it without the 3 right-side buttons.

[FSM77]

Yes please. I would love that option.

[mutools]

Implemented in the next update.

[FSM77]

Thanks for updating the plugin slot, I'm using the new slots on my next retro machine emulation mux.

Help, I can't get the contour option (in properties) to work well with the plugin slot. It's either mostly hidden or only showing underneath. I cannot get a nice white line all around the slot. Is this a glitch? Also there doesn't seem to be a way of changing the background colour of the slot I.e. it's always black!

One of my next mux's has a black background but the plugin slots are vanishing into the background.

Any help appreciated.

Hi, set "Margins" = 1 and apply "Contour" colour:
