Hoping it would be fairly easy to incorporate if the codes already available
Do you mean for security reasons or for sound design? - The clipper in the Distortion module uses the same code afaik as our output clippers in Filterscape, MFM2 and Uhbik.
Safety mostly, would be nice to have it included by default with the master volume as in Filterscape VA rather than having to load it in the fx section every time. I quite like plotting wavetables using the frequency plot and, as you mentioned, there's some speaker-worrying peaks that come through in the mid-range that also concern the speaker owner.

Really enjoying Zebra 3 so far, well worth the wait.

Could we please have the option to also use 13 (or any desired) steps in the mapper, as it is now the steps increase numerically up to 12 and then it's scaled to 16, 24, 32, 48 etc. – right now I'm trying to create a pitch sequence which has 13 different pitch sets though and there is no way I can achieve that, I tried double clicking in the number steps field to enter the number numerically. but it doesn't work.

+1 for this. I would like all prime numbers up to 16 to be included in the list. 5 and 7 are already there and are great for making polymetric sequences and it would be nice if 11 and 13 could join the party :party:
Always Read the Manual!

I've tried this too. I really like using mod mapper in key mode instead of Keyfollow as it gives more control and I kind of wish other synth had it as well. Once of minor issue I run into is when I want to add 49 of those points as my midi controller has 49 keys but the closest choice available is 48. Then'll have change it to 60 and play the first and last note on the keyboard to highlight those point to add the shape I want.

+1 too!

I'd also love to see a constant (integer number) as a source to use for mod math.

ModMath *has* a constant... X <- the knob

(but yeah, we'll certainly add Constant as a ModSoucre)

Great stuff.

I've been having a lot of fun with Mod math you can do some really cool stuff with it.

Quick question: as of now I'm dropping all my own csv-files for the modal filter into the factory folder which of course in the long run is a hack, because updates will probably overwrite these files. So can we have a dedicated user folder please and even better, when exporting a soundset, could those files be automatically collected and installed, when importing that set?

Where the "Factory" folder is, create another folder there and put your profiles in it.

Thank you, I thought I had already tried that but obviously I hadn't.

100% this should be allowed, typing in any number up to 128.

I have to say, you are a really cool dude.

Just wanted to put that out there.
