WISHLIST PlugIns

What I’d like to see is an amp profile player plugin. Something like Overloud’s TH-U Rig Player. This will give a huge boost to Dwarf adoption since currently there are no devices on the market with the extreme flexibility of MOD platform (and community) in this price range. Sticking with amp modeler plugins would slow down things (thinking about Neural DSP with just a bunch of amps released over several years). We need mid-top sound quality amps NOW (or near future). An amp profiler plugin will give extreme flexibility and virtually unlimited amps availability.

would be great if you write why you think a particular plugin is useful, rather than just post links to it.
thanks

Both instruments sound very good and are fun to play.
If you put e.g. “Vowel” on the mod wheel or a LFO the instruments can also start to sing.
The instruments have few control buttons, easy to use/play.
They are ~small programs from @brummer which may make it easier to run them on the mod?

I am intrigued by the pitch and delay manipulation capabilities of the Count to Five pedal by Montreal Assembly. I don’t own one, but when listening to the videos, etc. it seems like it is simply a multitap delay+looper (longer delay times) with reverse, pitch and modulation that reassembles short samples depending upon switch and knob settings… It also appears to be a digital pedal, so ripe for a software emulation on an open source platform like Mod Devices. I don’t know about copyrights, etc., but my interest in this open-source platform is for creative geniuses to take inspiration from the edges of the freaky-pedal-world and either just port them to MOD Devices or LV2 or whatever. Thoughts?

A CV/MIDI I/O clock divider/multiplier plugin would be good :sunflower: since you can do musically interesting things with it.

You could probably build something very interesting along the Count To Five line using one of the Rackarrack pitch shifting delays, the reverse delay, a longer delay and some CV controlled path switching. If I remember, I’ll have a go :slightly_smiling_face:

Nice. Even if it’s not the same, it might still be very cool. Thanks!

the plugins in question are the Reflector (reverse delay) and the Rakarrak Arpie delay. couple that with the Bollie as your clean delay and you’ll get some fascinating parallel processing going on! :slight_smile:

I think it would be really terrific if there where some realistic remakes of existing analogue or hybrid synthezisers.

I personally uses Novation Peak a lot.
Like it a lot for pad sounds. Would be nice if there was a remake and I could make patches and store them on the Dwarf. Especially when we can gigg again. And take my gear in just a backpack😊

I’ve played a little bit with making soundfonts from my Novation Summit and running those on the DuoX :wink:

It kind of almost worked, however there are many intricacies of a soundfont that make it behave well. It’s quite its own alchemy that needs years of experience to pull of convincingly.

With 1.10 out I’m throwing this one out again :wink:
Someone who would like this too?
Or is there something already in development?
I think a Audiorecorder Plugin would be a very useful tool.

would that still be the case even considering you can’t add plugins without being connected to a PC?

or do you expect the recording to be a system-level thing?

I didn’t consider system level until now, but that would also be great. Like, if you could go into record mode via the system options. Something like pedalboard nav mode, just for recording, which turns the footswitches into record, play and save (on the duo you’d need two functions on one button, like 3 seconds on the play button saves the recording)
What I was initially thinking of was a plugin with a simple gui which has one record, one play and one save button.
The thing about the fourtrack record box was just me reminiscing about the time when I used my dads old Yamaha mt-120 to record my first things :sweat_smile:

Yeah, that seems indeed like a great thing to add. @jon please take notes :sweat_smile:

For a recorder plugin, something already exists, but we do not have it on our platform yet.
I will add this in as a TODO for myself, should be pretty straight forward to just add it as beta for testing.

Noted!

As a little secret: we already have some internal plans to add a “recorder tool” to the Dwarf in the future. This would then be as easily accessible as launching the tuner tool or the tempo tool.

Great both options! Hope not mutually exclusive. An audio recorder plugin would be perfect for me… Just put it once in the pedalboard at any place of the signal chain and ready to record at any time… Or even two instances.

My other plugins on the wishlist (I think some of them already in development…):

  • midi recorder
  • looperlative plugins
  • more guitar amps, distortions (I find very useful amp Sims where the drive doesn’t affect volumen, of course this is not like real ones, but at the end here we don’t have so many knobs or we have more parameters to control :wink: like swankyamp or tamgamp)
  • an auto-arranger, song plugin something like MMA midi arranger, Linuxband or an edrummer. Perfect for jamming at home with some predefined styles.
  • and last, not a plugin but I think it will simplify a lot the pedalboards (I can imagine this is a lot software wise, but perhaps…). Divide the pedalboard in pre - main - post. In this way for example, the same main pedalboard could be use with different guitars (volume, compressor,…) Just assigning another pre-pedalboard and also could be used at home or live with a real amp just selecting another post-pedalboard with or -out Sims. This way I would not need a 32inch TV to configure the pedalboard ui, or the FX pedalboards could be used directly.

Sorry for the long post… You are doing great MOD team! Thanks

All of the suggestions are already noted (@falkTX as the @roughael ones are :wink: )

I would just add a little note that your last request may be somehow already in development. I would say even in a more useful way than what you asked. Just keep posted about the new firmware releases :wink:

I wish there were more electronic-music-oriented effects, like stutters, slicers, gaters and other buffer effects (replicant 2 or perforator by Bram Bos as examples) , I really want to get rid of my korg kp3 at some point.

Also I’ve stumbled across this thing and it looks exactly like something I expected from my duo x when I was ordering it: https://www.hologramelectronics.com/microcosm

A simple stereo recorder on usb drive.
I think it would be the only one pedal that will be able to do that.
I need this to record ideas, I wouldn’t need to use my computer for that.That would be awesome!
