Not only analog gear, e.g. things like waveshaping has to have an operating range. Usually plugin devs assume 0. to 1. (0dB peak) and cover a safety range of some dBs over that.

Sometimes even math functions used on the DSP are approximated/optimized to work on the 0. to 1. float range, again with a safety net, and then the error increases outside of that region. Making math functions to operate on all the floating point range would drain a lot of CPU.

So yes, the data types have the headroom but the DSP may not.

Man, having one of those mod remappers per modulation slot is such a powerful tool. I love it!
Not the best demo of this particular feature, but this is just one held note with a slow modwheel sweep towards the end. The modwheel basically morphs between 3 entirely different sounds using the remappers:

in re "mod remap":
is it just me or are the Previous/advance triangle buttons of the mod remap module
not working correctly ?

for example:
1) i select "factory > staircase down"
2) i hit the ">" (advance) triangle-button
3) instead of the next, which would be "triangle", the very first in the list "Saw Down" gets selected

same behaviour with "<" (previous) triangle-button

p.s.:
filing a bug report at vital forum...

I can confirm that behavior here. No matter what preset you choose then using the < or > arrows takes it to Saw Down then they don't do anything after that. Good catch.

As I said, so that I have enough headroom to turn a quiet track up without running out of gain. Yes, I could always add a gain plugin if I needed to but that is an inelegant way of working.

This sound could fit in the flight scenes in movies like 'The English Patient,
and 'Out Of Africa', invoking majesty and melancholy, and thanks for adding
the download widget, makes it easy study the sounds in the local environ.
Cheers

Thank you very much for your generosity.

I just flipped through the presets up to the letter M and these are some awesome patches. Very well done !

I was thinking the same thing and remembering a time when meffy had a tired old machine, things like that loading killed him...that''s why he pruned threads like "what are you thinking" and such (we haven't had one of those) and he would either randomly start it with someone's post or ask someone to do so and come up with a name...I started one once but went to vurt for the name iirc

glokraw · Post by **glokraw** » Wed Dec 09, 2020 10:56 pm

Well, I didn't make it quite to M yet, and have to agree, great sounds, very playable.
@ Sonic Sirious, thanks for sharing your creations. Were you listening to 'old' Yes albums recently? You gotya some 'Close To The Edge' vibrations happening
