Double Octave Down

Hi @Avery_Devine, there are currently no plans yet to introduce a super drop plugin, but I have made sure to document your request for future development efforts.

In the meantime, I can provide a nice workaround for you if you don’t mind getting your hands a bit dirty :wink:

What we can do is manually change the range of the STEP parameter. We can do this by SSHing into the MOD Device, and then tweaking the metadata file of the Drop plugin.

So, steps:

  1. Open a terminal window on mac/linux, or powershell on windows
  2. Type “ssh root@192.168.51.1” and press enter
  3. Now enter the password “mod” and press enter
  4. Now type “cd .lv2/mod-drop.lv2/” and press enter to go to the folder containing the Drop plugin
  5. Type “mount / -o remount,rw” and press enter to make the filesystem writable
  6. Type “nano Drop.ttl” and press enter to edit the metadata file of the Drop plugin
  7. Find the STEP parameter in this file
  8. Change the “lv2:minimum” value to whatever you desire, I tested until -48 semitones
  9. Press control+O followed by enter to save the changed range
  10. Press control+X to exit nano
  11. Type “sync” followed by enter
  12. Now wait 5 seconds, unplug power, replug power
  13. Wait for the device to be rebooted and voila, it should have the new range now.
  14. If the new range doesn’t show up in your web interface, try clearing the browser cache or opening the web interface in a fresh incognito browser window.

Sidenote: changing the range is not something MOD can guarantee to work, side-effects may happen. Please make sure to test thoroughly before relying on it for important performances.

Happy hacking!
