I love MUX!!!!!! I love the fact that I use different tools, ie WusikGrooveBox, EZplayer Pro and various other tools and build them as patches. Awesome!!!!!!

It's amazing beast isn't it?? I love the fact that you never even see the VSTi / VST if you don't want to. It's just another patch ... You could easily do a lot of submixing in it too.

Absolutely, the Mux is a power toy!

Yep Mux is the Lux

It continues where Reasons Combinator stopped

Great way to save your favorite setup.

You know XT2 has this Group component thing that's been partly implemented with the remaining functionality to arrive some time.....which is pretty much like most of the XT2 functionality at the moment. When the time comes jorgen should check out MUX because I reckon Jo really got this one right.

i dont really understand this one.
could someone please explain a bit?

it sounds like its something cool.
i always use my vsts the traditional way, load them tweak them.
is this a way to speed up the process?
i also love mux and i wanna love it even more!

Hi tomica
I just checked this out this morning, it's the nuts!

Basically it's a sort of Rack item you create yourself from any component you like - either instruments FX or a mix both I beleive.
You choose the signal path, you choose the connections, you choose the parameters you wish to appear on the Edit Screen (a bit like the Macro Controls on Ableton Live's Racks).
So you can line up several VST's and show only the parameters of each one you need, for easy editing, tweaking, automation etc.
Kind of smacks of SynthEdit too - if you know that?

I'm usually a bit of a thicky at this kind of stuff but i managed to create a Filter/Delay plug on the train on way to work

:)

Well, you could easily patch up, say, a Sampla, an instance of Crystal, a few FX and route it all to a master compressor - all of this before it even hits the rack desk - save it as a MUX patch XYZ and the next time you'd simply choose the patch and it woud be all in place as one complex instrument called XYZ without all the GUI clutter.

I'll try and upload a MUX drumkit on the weekend. All embedded sampled hits from the MULAB synths

forget it - MuLab is already what XT2 promised to be but never became...

by the time Jorgen gets his arse around properly implementing the groups* (if ever) MuLab can probably fly to the moon (and safely back as well) - while in XT2 everything is half-arsedly implemented at best, MuLab delivers the goods. Even just look at MuLab's midi-processing functions - when do you think the composer will have finally reappeared and offer even just slightly similar power?

Jorgen might check out MUX, but if he would is be fairly insignificant, I'd say - he already lost the game (and the plot as well) big time...

(:tantrum:)

*and b.t.w.: since Mux offers its own fx and functions it goes well beyond what Jorgen had planned for the group-components in XT2 - it is fully and truly modular.
