MXXX Improvements & Feature Requests

Aaaaha, I'm afraid not, for simplicity reasons you can only enable each input, no ordering.

Hehe, I did some quick googling and this is what I learned:

http://www.xils-lab.com/pages/Zero-Dela ... lters.html

Zero delay feedback filters are basically what analog filters are. They can't be exactly replicated in the digital world, but devs want to get as close as possible. ZDF is a new technology by NI (purportedly) which comes really close. However, as e.g. XILS Lab says, it's still not exactly there, and if we believe Vojtech then noone will ever get there 100%. But it seems to be a race about 99% or 99.9%

Correct me if anything about that is wrong.



About MXXX: Modulating modulators, ah well. It's the fun part, but it's always challenging to program this since there is no generic "add" or "multiply" option for target parameters, that would make life easier. You get along without it, but it requires more brain to setup stuff right

[MeldaProduction]

Well, as I said, even in analog world there is no zero delay feedback. It's much faster than digital world though, like having a huge sampling rate. But main question: Why on earth would you want that?

There's nothing so awesome about zero-delay filters... at least I don't consider this anyhow interesting, but of course devs are filling you with the analog propaganda... oh well, stone age will stay in music industry for some time

I have a suggestion: Shortcuts to open floating windows of MXXX instead of opening MXXX than pop the plugin you want to work on. That would be the same thing that we can actually do in Reaper. Key commands assigned to various plugins.

And thanx for crossover mutes and solos !!

[MeldaProduction]

Hmmm, I don't even know how could that work . Anyway I'm afraid keyboard access for plugins is so problematic that this just cannot be done really.

My pleasure!

Somewhat related: how about adding the name to the Multiparameter title bar to make distinguishing them easier? For example "Multiparameter 1 : Color"
...
(This is not just for MXXX, but for all the plug-ins)

Done in 9.07

^^^^
Further to that one, how about also showing the name in the "Select parameter" windows so that we can more easily recall which one is which?

(and, maybe, abbreviate 'Multiparameter' down to 'MP'?)

[MeldaProduction]

Aaaaha, sorry that won't be possible, long story .

Hi vojtech and melda people
Is there anything within mxxx like audio mulch's metasurface?
If not maybe that could be an idea.
Thanks

[MeldaProduction]

What is metasurface??

[DarkStar]

From a brief perusal. it's similar to MXXX's Easy Mode, I reckon

Aaaaha, well, not for now... too many parameters. It's pretty much impossible to choose the "right" ones, and there are more important things to do .

[Boone777]

It would be nice to have a 'hide' feature for the MXXX frame. When you compare tracks to each other for exemple if you have let's say 2 instances of MXXX each with 2 plugins that is 4 plugins. But when we pop the plugins in their own window we end up with 8 windows. So hiding the MXXX frames once we did settings we need, we can place the 4 plugins side by side and work with them, unclustering the view with a 'hide frame' button.

[MeldaProduction]

What ??? Perhaps a few screenshots?

[DarkStar]

I deduce that Boone777 would like to see all the modules in their individual pop-up windows. I just tried it here but there were too many windows on display, the arrangement on screen could not easily reflect the arrangement in the modular grid.

PS #1 Buglet: in the MXXX preset 'Constructional locket' the Delay module is named 'Comb 2'.

PS #2: Can the modules be listed in alphabetical order in each section in the pop-up menu? That will make them much easier to find:
