Usually in a modular environment the distinction between modules that add signals to the sound compared to those that are used for modulation is not given.
Examples:
1. A audio OSC could be wired up to modulate the filter cutoff of a Filter.
2. A 2nd OSC can modulate another OSCs pitch.

Current: Situation: To my knowledge only specific modules in MSF allow to be modulated by another OSC, like the FilterFollower. appart from that it's not possible. This lacks a general approach like seen in other modular environments.

Solution proposal 1 (prefered):
1. Introduce a "Use as modulator" module in the generator.
2. Arbitrary signal paths can be "terminated" with such a module.
3. "Terminated" paths will not add to the audio output.
4. The "Use as modulator" has a setup page similar to the modulators, i.e. it can be routed to modulate any parameter that is available

Solution proposal 2:
1.) Add a 4th tab to "global", "generator" and "fx" by the name of "modulator signals".
2.) Design modulation signals there.
3.) the modulations signals finaly end in one of the 6 output ports.
4.) then on "generator" add 6 new modulation source which represent the output ports of the "modulator signals" tab.
5.) These can then be wired up like ENV, LFO, Random, etc.

The second option is a bit more restricted because in proposal 1 I can use an OSC and wire it to the audio output and in parallel into a path which is finally terminates in "Use as modulator"...Melda will love this because a OSCs pitch could then be modulated by the OSC itself... ;-)

Not sure about this really, it's a bit far stretched. Anyways I'll check the option 1. After all it sort of works like "modulation via feedback" in MXXX's global mods. Perhaps there could be a few (2 or 4) channels of these modulators. BUT note that modules wouldn't be able to modulate themselves anyways. First a module produces the output and then can this output be used for modulation.

This is great, hope it works.
I was hoping when the sampler comes that we would be able to use it as a mod source.

Many thanks, Melda. I grabed 13.03a and the requested feature it's already there! Melda rulez!
