i asked this some years ago, and you didnt want to do it, for whatever reason, but i see there is a similar thread just under this, asking for tempo synced envs.
well my request is this: any chance of the area that displays custom mod curves have a snap settings that make sense to a musician?
atm they snap to 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%, which splits the mod loop into 5 sections. well wouldnt 4 sections be more sensible for music? 4 beats to the bar and all that?
you wouldnt have to change the grid to display beats, you could just change the numbers to 25% 50% etc. at least we could work out where the beats are, without having to do calculations before putting a node down

Are you talking about the "edit signal shape" editor?
You can place, let's say, 3 anchor points (dividing to 4 sections), then right-click, which will show "properties of all points", then click "distribute points" there, it will move them horizontally to equal distances between each other.
And I think they do snap to 5% increments, if not, there are buttons besides the "snap to" in the same "properties of all points", to set the grid.

thanks for the reply

yeah i see what you mean, and if it was only 4 points i needed, then yeah, that would do. but try splitting into 8 (1/8th timing) and we no longer got snap to grid. and im usually splitting in 1/16, which means, even it it did snap into place, it would still be confusing to remember which 8 dots are on the 1/8 etc. especially as i have dots lower down doing curves and things.
4 dots snapping on white lines would be enough to make it managable for making rhythmic patterns, without having to calculate things, or get lost, every time i open the mod

Ok, I'm lost here, completely... What are you talking about? Perhaps a screenshot? There are so many graphs, curves, modulators and stuff, that you really need to be specific.

Click the magnet symbol next to snap x to grid and change the value to 9. It then snaps to 1/32.
Does that work for you?

I believe they are talking about the "custom shape" editor, or "transformation shape" (same thing)
And the way the nodes snap to grid.

thank you!
that fixes the problem, so it looks like vojtech had a few more complaints after me.
i dont use melda for this sort of thing, because of that problem, but it looks like its sorted now.
thanks
