i’m working with a live setup where i want to send a lot of line level instruments, ios devices, keyboards, contact mics etc into the mm and am having to use a lot of bog offset modules to scale up their audio signals in the patch. could be cool at some point to have an option on each input inside the patch to add a simple digital gain boost(simple multiply?), instead of having to waste cpu via a bunch of scale modules. or maybe a right click on the metamodule in vcv could have an option for per-input gain setting there?
actually, Id like to expand this to also include outputs too…
Ive modules that are +/- 5v, so it’d be useful to scale the output.
so, Id like to see both the ability to increase and decrease gain on both inputs and outputs.
this should be stored ‘per patch’.
why? because putting any kind of boost/atten on something used for v/oct will destroy it… and it’d be easy to ‘forget’ a system setting!
ofc, we can use attenuators etc, but this is patch specific,
so you might need to add them to patch, or find them.
not always so easy on the MM itself.
(and more difficult if you didnt build the patch)
also… some codecs have support for DAC/ADC gain.
so this can be done at that level rather than having to spend dsp cycles on it.
that said, the settings on the codec are a pretty limited set, so we may need both hardware and software attenuation/boost.
also I think on the io it’d might be useful to have optional DC blocking.
ive seen DC offsets quite frequently occur in eurorack, and simple removal can do quite bit for sound quality.
so yeah. overall, a little bit of control over the IO would be very useful.

now that you mention this, having a per patch setting for the out ports would also be really useful. i find im always having to use a bog mix 2 at the end to control final stereo gain out on my patch, and would rather not use any extra modules there if possible
