MXXX Vibrato - wrong depth amount

[Tagirijus]

Hi there,

noticed a little non-critical bug: the vibrato module inside MXXX shows "ms" as the value for the depth instead of "percentage".

At least in the single vibrato instance it is percantage for the depth.



Best,

Hi Manu,

that's actually intentional . "ms" is just better. It is kept in % in the normal vibrato plugins for sake of backward compatibility.

[Tagirijus]

I see. If you allow me the question: why is "ms" better? Or better asked: what exactly stands "ms" for in a technical view?

In the end it's okay for, since I still just interpret it as a percantage knob, hehe. But maybe you can answer me the question and I start to understand the idea behind "ms" instead of "%".

[MeldaProduction]

"ms" is the number of the milliseconds of the delay line the vibrato is using. % are converted to milliseconds, but for backward compatibility this actually doesn't convert between sampling rates, so it sounds different with different sampling rates. (it could already be fixed I think, but I'm not sure , anyway fix means a breach for backward compatibilty).

[Tagirijus]

I still do not get it totally right now. It sounds to me like "ms" could rather be a value for the frequency ... maybe I will try to let the internet teach me about this issue.

By the way: I would not like to be in your position regarding "backwards compatibility" things ... phew.... good luck though.

Hehe, yeah, backward compatibility is a bitch . Anyway if I were you, I wouldn't think about it too much, from practical point of view it is useless .

[Tagirijus]

Yeah, you are totally right with this. In the end I am just a very curious guy.

Hehe, I know what you mean
