If one not want to use Bitwig just for it´s nice Modulations possibilities... what does the market offers in terms of FX plugins with a kind of similar modulation workflow??

In the Instrument world it´s easier as most modern Instruments are well equipped in this regard but for FX??

Of course there is kiloHearts with it´s powerful system in Snap Heap and Multipass...
Minimal Audio with Rift...
Devious Machines with Texture and Infiltrator...
Serum FX and Rapid FX...
Cableguys stuff and Tantra...
Unfiltered Audio...

But after that I start to run out of ideas... I don´t like Melda´s approach of modulation... too cumbersome...
Perhaps is there anything more in the non experimental area?? More bread and butter plugins??

What can you add to this list??

Many of the MeldaProduction plug-ins have 4 powerful Modulators mappable to nearly all the plug-in's parameters.

Yes, I know but I find doing this in Melda plugins very cumbersome and nerdy...
I prefer the Serum/Bitwig way to have relative Modulation with drag and drop and adjusting the circle around a knob while it stays accessable for editing...

HY modulation is like a mini Bitwig in fx form

I know there's dialogaudio SQ4 and MP3244, they seem to look decent but I never tried them

Reaktor works as well for transmitting midi to control anything that has midi learn capability

And also the HY plugins are good

Some of Arturia’s FX have very nice modulation options, as long as it makes sense, e.g. Fragments, Coldfire or the Intensity reverb.

https://www.apulsoft.ch/apqualizr2/ modulation is excellent and very much its own take

Seaweed Fathom FX, Reaktor FX, Mulab 9 Plugin, the new FX Modulator in Cubase, Nomad Magma, Xils 4, Synrhmaster, Surge, Retrologue or any other synth with audio input, Glitchmachines' stuff, Guitar Rig, Stutter Edit, Glitch 2…
Melda: Once you are used to their approach you can use it on every Melda plug-in. So there is a good benefit.
