E-Fex Modulator Appreciation & Wishlist Thread!!

[kodama]

Love this thing!

Here's some ideas for V3:


Interface:

Maybe something more shiney (less brown!) to get people's attention?



Modulators:

- Random

- Control knobs as sources in the mod matrix, so you can assign several changes to one knob for performance

- Sidechain! Input from another audio channel to make ducking fx, etc... from other audio sources

- Midi CC output for modulators so you can control other stuff...

- Sequenced envelopes, meaning envelopes that fire off when they are triggered by a step sequencer. An example of this would be Anarchy Rhythms, also written in SE.




Nex FX/Updated FX:

- Reversinator!

- Comb Filter(Ironizer!)

- Distortion

- FM of self or a built in osc (like the Modulator 2)

- Crusher/Lofi/Crackle

- Add Delay + Feedback to the vibrato for freaky, lofi pitch fx!

- Ability to route the filters as 1L/2R or 1+2 or 1 & 2 parrellell

- Grainer/Grain delay of some sort...

- Compressor (can be simulated already)

- Gate (ditto!)

- Parametric EQ?

- Phaser mode for chorus?

- Low CPU Reverb

- Aux Audio input for:

2-input ring mod
2-input vocoder

(of course you could use the sidechain for many effects, amplitude imposing, etc...)



Also!

An instrument version with a simple sampler/sf2 loader to show off!


Whatta ya think Dennis, is there ever a chance you'll make EM 3?

E-Fex Modulator is cool indeed.

[kodama]

Add random wave shapes for the LFOs also!

[mckenic]

Thanks for the heads up kodama!!! Im in lust with this too...

These are all FANTASTIC ideas - seriously!

So common Dennis... any chance???

[fateamenabletochange]

I like it and use it.

[sonicfire]

Holy moly! Some nice ideas here !
I doubt that SE could handle all this without let exploding the CPU meter, but - i could give this a try

Oh yeah, a new and revised E-Fex Modulator III or PRO... One to rule them all That sounds nice indeed!

I will think about that
(Then i also have to includ MIDI modulation stuff, as someone described earlier in an other post)

EDIT: I seriously think it would then be better to have individual plugins that you can route freely inside your host of choice? This way the whole thing would be way more modular and less of a CPU hog... what do you think?

Oh, one more suggestion would be to use one of the .seps for envelopes that has curve adjustments for the decay.

This would help with control over simulation of compression effects, etc...

The idea of Modulator to me is that you can save complex chains with very complex modulation options and have all your settings saved under one .fxp

Of course, I could simulate many of the same setups through Energy XT and several freebie plugs, but that would be more work, it would be harder to organize presets, and I think the CPU would be higher.

When I was thinking of these ideas, I was thinking of things that could be done in SE, several of them, you've already made (Distortion, Comb Filter, etc..).

As far as cpu, yep - I would drop whichever new fx pushed it over the limit.

Or - make a small version & an XXL version



Ok, I paired my list down to the most wanted and possibly most possible?
