Question Re. Modulators

[dmbaer]

In a modulator, when we have a follower or an envelope project onto the LFO, is it additive or multiplicative? In other words, assume we have a follower that slowly goes from minimum value to maximum and slowly back to minimum and the follower projects onto LFO. Does the LFO slowly increase in depth and slowly decrease, or does the center of oscillation slowly rise and slowly fall? Hope this question is making sense.

Never mind answering this question - I just spent about three hours working on a MXXX preset and pretty well have things sorted out - at least I think I've gotten to the bottom of this - man, are those modulators high powered .

HOWEVER! It would appear there's a bug. If you create a switch MP and point it at the Sidechain switch in the modulator, the behavior is erratic. Click the MP switch to turn it on (activating the sidechain), and the modulator behaves correctly (i.e., the sidechain becomes enabled) but the enabled button in the modulator doesn't turn orange until you move the modulator window, at which point it does change color. After that, the MP switch does not turn off the enabled state in the modulator no matter what you do. So, there are several things amiss. Hopefully I've reported this all correctly and hopefully it can be repeated.

While we're on the subject of switches, how about reducing the height of the non-big switch just a tad so it doesn't make the row size get higher? As you know, when there are a lot of MPs being used, screen real estate starts to be scarce. For that matter, you could also make the small switches a little bit wider and sacrifice nothing. In doing so, you'd allow for slightly more descriptive captions.

Aaaaah, the sidechain button probably just doesn't update, will check it out. It's not that simple to have thousands of parameters all responding to changes from different places (or itself )

I don't follow the thing about switches - perhaps a screenshot?

[dmbaer]

Hopefully I won't need a screenshot. Do this: create three rows of a couple regular MP controls (not switches) all in the same category. All the rows are the same height and it looks organized and attractive. Then change the type of one of the controls in the second row to be a switch. Now the second row used more vertical space than the first and third. This is mostly an aesthetic consideration. I'm just suggesting that the small switches don't need to be any higher than the regular controls.

As to the width, ignore my comments. As you know from our offline conversation, I only just now figured out that the control widths are based on the caption width.

Aaaaha, ok, I'll check it out .
