Greetings,

I just noticed that MLimiter resets itself when I close and reopen the project.

Win7 x64
MLimiter 64-bits
Reaper x64

Thanks

Indeed, I doesn't remember gain! Will be fixed ASAP.

Thank you very much sir

Cheers

My pleasure and fixed! Relevant updates and installers have been reuploaded, so please just update again if you are using MLimiter.

Hi Vojtech, i've got a quick question, if you don't mind me asking.

I'm experimenting with the new envelope follower in the modulator section, and i noticed something i wasn't expecting. As you know, the modulator lets you choose between normal / follower / envelope, but what i've just discovered is that even when you switch to follower (and maybe envelope, haven't tried), the modulation shape at the top, still has an effect on the sound.
Even though the modulator is shaped from the audio input, it still seems to have some input from the normal mode's shape. Most noticable when it's on sine wave, and you turn the step sequencer up full.
So what's going on here? I thought the envelope was shaped from the audio input, which would be ideal for me, but is it more the case that the modulator still gets it shape from the wave at the top, and only uses the follower for triggering the shape? And if that's the case, what speed is the wave modulating at, and is it being restarted with the follower, or is it totally free running?

A little bit confused here, sorry. Hope i explained that ok.

Btw, that new freqshifter is really nice. Sounds pretty close to the ringmod on another product i use a lot (which shall remain unnamed). Nice to have an alternative to that.

I would love a Youtube video covering the modulation options available in the Creative plugins. I'm always praising the modulation and would love to have a video I can refer people to.

Any chance of making a video that describes the modulation options and covers the normal, follower, and Envelope modes? Perhaps you could tweak these in the video so people can hear the changes you are making..

Maybe some people are confused like I was (not knowing it in detail though, errors may occur):

"Modulator shape" is the mother shape that is linked to needed parameters and will be influenced by the following modes:

"Normal" drives the modulator continously. When you activate "Normal" you can see the target move (example: dry/wet slider moving from left to right and back with a sine shape). It goes on and on, even when the sequencer is stopped.Don't forget to activate the whole modulator on the main page by clicking on the little dot on the left.

"Follower" is a classic follower listening to the audio input. The bandpass works like the sidechain-eq in an FX without a real side-chain input. You use it to define the frequency it should listen to.

"Envelope" is typically triggered by a Midi signal although this mode can also listen to audio. In this case it's only the transients (different to the listening in follower mode) it reacts to.

"Shape" on the right hand side adds another shape to the selected(!) parameter in opposite of the modulator signal (left block) which infuences all(!) parameters defined top right (section with + and - buttons).

The way they interact is as following:

Normal/Follower/Envelope --> Modulator shape --> parameter list <-- Shape for single parameter

The Modulator Shape itself is in addition shaped by its own "Custom shape" and a "Step sequencer". The "Advanced" gives more options (as if there weren't enough, haha).

We learn: This is the most shapable Shape-shaper ever.

[MeldaProduction]

Exactly!
It may be a little harder to grasp, but if you imagine some slider moving by the input level (follower mode), based of some envelope (envelope mode) or up and down repeatedly (normal mode), then this value is projected on the shape.
By default the phase and interval is set so that it just copies the sine from the minimum to maximum. And when you select triangle, then it will actually do nothing, because the triangle would just be from -1 to +1 linearly.

And the video - it's being worked on .

About MFreeFormAnalogEQ, it's not really possible to use the ABCD morphing with it, right? If I morph between A and B, it jumps when half way between the two presets I am morphing and I hear an audible click. This is a normal behavior correct?

Preset A has lot's of low frequencies and the high frequencies turned down d Preset B has the high frequencies turned up and the lower frequencies turned down all the way. I seem to be able to morph between presets that are not too different but in the scenario above it clicks when it shifts from one graph to the other.

[MeldaProduction]

Yes, unfortunately that's not possible, because the shape is not automated.

Elassi and Vojtech, thanks to both of you, but there is still this part i don't understand:

In follower mode, if the wave is on a sine wave, is that going to project an audible sine wave onto the follower's curve, meaning i can hear the effect modulating up and down?
Or is the sine wave just a mathmatical curve that the follower uses to get from A to B? (Meaning i can use any wave shape, and the sound will be consistent throughout the song).

And part 2 to this question:
If the sine wave is audible, does this mean that every bar in the song will sound slightly different because the sine wave is not synced to tempo?

Or:
If the sine wave is NOT audible and is only a mathmatical curve, does that mean that setting it to triangle gives a default envelope follower with no strange warping?

[MeldaProduction]

No no, the sine wave is only a shape. The good thing about it is that you can use "interval" parameter to actually project the value onto multiple sine periods for example. But it is definitely not audible (unless modulating specific parameters of course).

[AL321]

Ah, excellent! That was my only concern, so thanks. Can have have lotsa fun with that thing now.

[MeldaProduction]

Cool !

[elassi]

No no, the sine wave is only a shape.

Or, to use a another common term: a LFO.

Btw, @al321, that's how it is called when you click on the parameter button (+) and see the "select parameter" window. Scroll down and you'll find LFO1-4. These are the Modulators1-4.

Or Shapes1-4.

Or MShapeLFOs1-4.

[MeldaProduction]

I don't think that's true - the shape is used even if the modulator is set to follower or envelope mode (as opposed to normal or LFO mode).

[elassi]

Okay, precisely, then it's a LFO with a single cycle...

But it's true that you name them "LFO" in the param-list.

However, once understood, it provides unique modulation possibilities. Some synths can do this (modulars of course) but I can't tell - without intense thinking - from a dedicated FX to bear such complexity.

Nuff said - it rocks. Same as with women: you don't understand them in full complexity but they cause eruptions.
