List of feature requests (MOD Dwarf)

Would be possible to add a led to switchtrigger4 to have a visual feedback on the active output?

Also is one of those plugins that are not shown on the plugins webpage. If I correctly recall, this problem has already been fixed for other plugins (maybe Titan?).

Donā€™t you have this skin ??

When itā€™s ON you got a the red line on the right becoming bright green.

No, itā€™s another plugin called switchtrigger4. With toggleswitch plugin you can have 4 outputs selected in parallel. With switchtrigger4 instead, you can have only 1 output selected.

Oh ! Iā€™ve never seen this one ! Is it in beta ?
It seams like an evolution of the Switchbox 1-2 - MOD Devices, it would be great to have the same clear design like this :

And another one in stereo !!!

@redcloud isnā€™t this plugin in beta? Thatā€™s why it doesnā€™t appear on the website

Not sure if it has already been asked but Iā€™d like to have a ā€œscene templateā€ or ā€œsub-sceneā€ that can be called by a custom switch and applied to current scene. The usage scenario is the following:

A. clean scene
B. crunch scene
C. rhythm scene
D. lead scene

For each scene Iā€™d like to have a ā€œsub-sceneā€ that enables gain, disables delay and changes other parameters. Currently I have to duplicate all the scenes to have this possibility on all the scenes. And I need a bigger midi footswitch too to avoid jumping between pages.

A ā€œmorphā€ function (Kemper style) would be also useful.

What morph does is simply change a parameter gracefully.

Scene A: we have amp gain value = 50%
Scene B: amp gain value = 90%

Currently, switching scene A to B makes gain value changing directly from 50% to 90%. This creates some audio glitches often.
With morph function we could move from 50% to 90% at certain speed, interpolating values in between with a linear function.
Kemper allows value morphing in a 20 seconds range (more or less), so we could have the amp gain that moves from 50% (in scene A) to 90% (in scene B) in 3 seconds: 50% ā†’ 63.3% (after 1 sec) ā†’ 76.6% (after 2 sec) ā†’ 90% (after 3 sec).

You might be able to achieve this with the CV plugins. See what this user did for example: My new physical PedalBoard: Reduced to the max - #17 by Kim

Thanks but to me, it would be more useful as ā€œgeneral behaviorā€ to apply on scene change.

Great feature request ! And beautiful way to engage it in the web-UI !

@redcloud do you mean something like the snapshots or something like the snapshots but also ā€œsnapshottingā€ the assignments. The second, I personally left a request for it a few weeks ago in our backlog.

I would say that this is a feature request for the feature that you asked before haha
For the morph, I would say that the CV plugins may help you like @unbracketed suggested (for now).

Overall (and being a simple user here) I would say that if these scenes include the assignments this is a really cool request. I must say that Iā€™m not really a huge fan of the pagination system (and I guess the MOD Duo X is where I really get frustrated with it). When Iā€™m building a pedalboard I try to make as many parameters as possible available from the device and by the end I always find myself questioning why I leave X parameter of Y plugin out and keep A parameter of B plugin. I feel that somehow if I could have snapshots of the assignments as well - maybe call it a scene makes sense - would make things way easier. That way I could have my EQ scene, my amps scene, my reverb scene, etc. and have all parameters of those effects available.

Am I going along your lines or am I just abusing your request to push my own and share a frustration that I have as a user? :sweat_smile:

For ā€œsub-sceneā€ I mean a set of parameters that can be set to current scene by pressing a single footswitch.

Considering following base settings

Scene A: AMP(vol=1db), CHORUS(0db), TINYGAIN(0db)
Scene B: AMP(vol=2db), CHORUS(-1db), TINYGAIN(2db)
Scene C: AMP(vol=3db), CHORUS(-2db), TINYGAIN(4db)

sub-scene: CHORUS(-7db), TINYGAIN(9db)

No matter what scene is currently selected, Iā€™d like to apply sub-scene settings to current scene by pressing 1 footswitch.

So if current scene is A, selecting sub-scene will apply (and overwrite) following settings
Scene A: AMP(vol=1db), CHORUS(-7db), TINYGAIN(9db)

Then I choose to select Scene B and settings would be AMP(vol=2db), CHORUS(-1db), TINYGAIN(2db)

Then I choose to apply sub-scene and settings would be AMP(vol=2db), CHORUS(-7db), TINYGAIN(9db)

Then I choose to select again Scene A and settings would be AMP(vol=1db), CHORUS(0db), TINYGAIN(0db)

So sub-scene is a ā€œtemporaryā€ set of parameters that sits on the side and is ready to be applied to current scene on the fly by pressing a single footswitch.

I suppose it would be ā€œeasierā€ to implement with currently available features by letting call a set of presets assigned to a single footswtich.

So I can have a user preset UP1 for plugin A, a user preset UP2 for plugin B, another user preset UP3 for plugin C and I want to load all of them via a single footswitch, no matter whatā€™s the currently selected scene.

The only problem I see here is that with more than 2 channels you have to cycle through all of them to reach the needed one.

If I understand correctly, what you want is the current snapshot feature with the added ability of switching to an arbitrary snapshot with a single switch press. Is that correct? (aside from the ā€œmorphā€ behavior you mentioned)

Not exactly, Iā€™d say a subset of scene settings because I want to change only a subset of current scene parameters. Switching to another scene would load ALL the parameters belonging to changed scene (which is not the wanted behavior).

Another example:

I have scene A (clean), scene B (crunch), scene C (heavy), all with delay, reverb and boost disabled. I want to have a sub-scene ā€œLEADā€ which enables delay, reverb and boost with 1 footswitch press, no matter which scene is currently selected. Sub-scene (or multiple user preset loading) would satisfy this scenario. Otherwise I have to duplicate scenes to have ā€œLEAD capabilitiesā€ on each scene.

scene A (clean no lead)
scene A (clean lead)
scene B (crunch no lead)
scene B (crunch lead)
scene C (heavy no lead)
scene C (heavy lead)

A bit messy, isnā€™t it?

One more ā€œnice to haveā€ā€¦ sticky plugin (or sticky plugin preset) that doesnā€™t change parameters when the scene changes.

4 Likes

Yeahā€¦ That would be really nice but I think that this feature request deserves itā€™s own discussion topic.

Also, add a feature to put a bank/pedalboard/scene in readonly mode. This would avoid accidental changes that happen often to me :sweat_smile:

Hello @redcloud ,

thanks for this interesting feature request.

conoerning this:

I am sure I get your idea right in my head, but If you use these scenarios on a single pedalboard you could use pedalboard snapshots or do you want something else?

In my view it is just the matter of choosing the right preset and the method (via switches/one or two buttons/MIDI/encoder/you name it) you use for it.

In your case above would it be enough to set an encoder to the list of this 6 entries (choosing momentary default) but also to set a momentary toggle footswitch to ā€œMove to next entry in the listā€?

Greetings and God bless
