MXXX1 Lacking Global Dry/Wet and Gain controls

[vectorwarrior]

As in the title.

I use MXXX a lot, always in single channel mode as I use the crossover module instead. So MXXX1 interested me, but it lacks those controls, which makes it harder to quickly make gain changes. They're found in the top right of MXXX but are completely missing from MXXX1.

If they're part of the crossover feature and would be difficult to add, dont worry, i'll just use the gains in the modules, but wanted to mention it in case it was an oversight.

Thanks!

Curious: in MXXX, what are the pros and cons for user the Band Editor vs the Crossover module?

And +1 for adding those 4 parameters to MXXX1

The main con for me is that the global one doesn't crossover the side chain, so I have to use a cross over module on the side chain. It's easier to copy and paste crossover settings if you use two modules, as you can just duplicate the module.

Another example is if you do some multiband processing (let's say multiband compression) and then want to do some global broadband processing (EQ and limiting).
This needs to be a module crossover as you can join the split signal back together using the mixer in the modular.
However with the global crossover, it stays split.

I never use the global crossover actually. Loads more flexibility using the module.

However there are actually 2 small advantages to using the global crossover that cannot be achieved with the module crossover.

Can anyone guess these 2 differences? I will be back later to post the answer........

For me, it's that:
A) it doesn't use up a precious module lane. I was considering asking Vojtech for more lanes as a FR.
B) you get a 'free' analyser visible at all times.

Ah, good answers, I didn't think of those.

Mine are:
A) The link feature. If you have a compressor on each band and want to move all the thresholds together, we can use link bands.
B) Set crossovers from level. I think it is called that or something similar. But basically it auto sets the crossovers so that there is an even amount of energy in each. This feature is missing from the module version.

Ha ha, dang it, those are good too!

Well, I'm afraid that's all just unlikely to happen, and you guessed it - it's all part of the multiband engine, so... I'll think about that anyways, but...
