Hi Jo,

I know where the desk is, but where is the rack panel?

The "Rack Panel" is the user Front Panel for a rack that you can add to a rack as of M10.
It appears at the left side.
Cfr the draft intro video on M10's modular racks:

Hei,

I still find this confusing, especially now that both the audio stream and sequence share the same icon. :?

That's a bug!
Will be fixed in the next update.

Quick question: when adding new slots to a rack, are they meant to not have any audio or events pass through them?

I noticed in the Rack Modular Area, deleting and adding new slots will not add any new cables, which can be exploited into not having new effects in the chain work. At worst, if you remove all but one slot, audio will simply bypass into the Rack's output, or in some configurations not work at all! This seems to create all sorts of funky interactions with the pre/post fader as well.

Below is a video showcasing what could happen that I believe is undesirable given the current state of how adding and deleting slots in racks works:


(Mind the audio bleeding from my monitors back into my mic...)

I would hate to have this be only solvable via the modular area if it's a front panel issue.

Confirmed the above. It's only when using the + button that no cables are added. Using right click to "Insert Slot" works fine as expected.

I also noticed that inserting a patch with multiple outputs into a rack slot e.g. a Mudrum kit adds the output pins to the slot in the modular area as you would expect, but using drag and drop into the rack slot from the browser for the same patch does not.

No.

Thx for the helpful video.
It's a dumb bug.
Will be fixed in M10.0.13, available very soon.

Thx for reporting this!

Minor spelling issue:
On the filterbank: Inactivate unused bands should be Deactivate unused bands

Post

Would that mean that "Hide Inactive Bands" should be "Hide Deactivated Bands"?

Post

There's no such word as inactivate. Inactive is a word, the equivalent of inactivate is actually deactivate in English.

No. Hide Inactive Bands is correct, as Inactive is ok, but Inactivate is not. I know, English, right?! :lol:

Post

A quick inet search tells me something else (inactivate is an existing word), but anyway i'm open for tweaking it but your last reply doesn't answer my question about "Hide Deactivated Bands", which sounds long to me.

Maybe "Enable" + "Disable" can be used?
It's not exactly the right meaning for what the function does, but it may be a pragmatic solution?

Post

Oh ok, never heard of it before.
"Hide Inactive Bands" is same as "Hide Deactivated Bands"
I think it's ok as is, just that I would personally prefer "Deactivate Unused Bands" instead of Inactivate.

Post

Although I mentioned this before, but perhaps you dislike the idea...
When you have many menu items like this that all pertain to the same thing, it makes for less reading and reduces time to acknowledge each item in a menu due to less reading time if there were a heading.

In this example a menu such as this would be easier on the eye and quicker to read, while it's meaning remains full and clear:
(Heading in bold or underlined or both?)
Bands
Show all
Hide Inactive
Deactivate Unused
Activate All

There are many such instances where this could be improved:
The Presets menu when R-click on a Rack/Sequence.
GUI Colours. The word "Color" is really unnecessary on each and every item.

Well, you get the idea, There's more important stuff anyway so I'll leave it at that :)

Post

Inactivate really is a verb in English. (Edit: First attested in 1906.) It's the same as deactivate. Whichever you prefer is fine.

Make Not Work.

I started on Logic 5 with a PowerBook G4 550Mhz. I now have a MacBook Air M1 and it's ~165x faster! So, why is my music not proportionally better? :(
