Hi,
I am having trouble figuring out some of the graphs on the MVocoder plugin, like the band graph, and my question is:
Does anyone know which axis is the carrier bands and which axis is the modulator bands ?
like, is y (horizontal) modulator or carrier bands counting from top to bottom ?
is x (vertical) modulator or carrier bands counting up from left to right ?
it is neither specified in the manual nor on the graph.
Then we have the other graphs, like "Frequencies carrier", "Frequencies modulator", "Attack" etc ...
For these graphs the y axis is specified but never the x axis, I just find it a bit confusing, is there a skin that reveals what the values are for the horizontal axis ?
Thanks for any help

I think that the absence of the X-axis scale is a bug. Generally the run linearly from 0...100%. The X-value is the input and the Y-value is the output.
Also, click the [?} on the Band Matrix window:
So, looking at the above, bands 1-4 affect band 1; band 4-6 affect band 2; bands 7-8 affect band 3. And so on. But I have never used this plug-in
Mind you some numbers on the axes, or visible grid lines when the backgotun is dark grey would help.
Also, click the [?} on the Band Matrix window:
My understanding is that the X-axis is the Controlling band ("Input" or "Source"") and the Y-axis is the affected band ("Output" or "Target").Band matrix
Band matrix controls how the bands affect each other. By default the graph is a diagonal line from top left to bottom right, which means that modulator band 1 affects carrier band 1, modulator band 2 affects carrier band 2 etc. However you may set this up differently and you may even let some carrier bands be affected by multiple modulator bands, or none of them.

Thank you Darkstar !
So, the input (x axis) would be the modulator, and the output or target (y axis) would be the carrier ?
I've always had trouble wrapping my head around these input-output graphs, like the ones on some distortion plugins, it just doesn't come intuitively to me for some reason
