Any chance you guys could try porting the open source Schlappi modules BTMX, BTFLD, and Nibbler that now are on vcv? I asked them, since their original plan was to port them to meta, but they mentioned the person doing them had other matters to attend to, so they couldn’t continue working on meta ports.
They said anyone is welcome to port them though, so it would be great if you guys (or anyone else) could try making them work on Meta.
Thats excellent to hear! I actually own all of these Schlappi modules in hardware, and was excited to see the news last year at superbooth that they were also going to be ported to the Meta as well. That honestly helped me make the decision to buy a Meta, so I can use multiples together with my hardware versions.
I was pretty bummed when I saw that the Meta ports were possibly not going to make it, so I’m really hopeful you guys can help bring them over afterall. Thanks Dan!
I did a fork of the schlappi github and got them at least to run on mm. I am playing with AI coding on multiple levels and relatively fresh at it. You’re welcome to take a look as testing them thoroughly will take a bit of time.
Yeah, I saw the Schlappi github page. I just didnt know if there was a specific file there, which I needed to download that @Kurkesmurfer made to actually run on the Meta.
Just added a provisional release dir to the git. Hadn’t expected a reaction TBH. I have ran all of them on my metamodule, the originals used a very high quality setting and a lot of code was executed in the core audio loop. I own a BTFLD and a Nibbler, so I am AB testing against them to see how far I got. So far BTFLD is holding up. Nibbler will be the weekend.Might be a lot of aliasing occurs. BTMX I do not own, so it’s a bit of guesswork how good it is. Low frequent it works well AFAIK.

Do not expect polished modules, it is very much a work in progress.
Thanks for working on these! Hopefully all the issues can be worked out to make them function just as well as the vcv versions. It may be a good idea to cross-post this info to the original Schlappi Meta thread, just so more people who are interested in the ports can see them, and possibly help test as well: https://forum.4ms.info/t/schlappi-modules-are-being-ported/1509/18
You propose posting I am working on them there as well? I always navigate using search to be honest. If you want to take a look, I created a metamodule-port branch that includes a compiled binary.
It would absolutely be a good idea, just so other users that are looking to test these are aware, since this page technically isnt about the Schlappi ports lol.
As you can see a bit further up in this thread, Dan from 4ms also mentioned he would try to see if they could help finish the ports, since the person who was previously working on tthem was busy with other things, so they couldnt finish the project.
I’m grateful for your (and everyone’s) work on these Schlappi ports, and hopefully any antialiasing issues can be worked out to get them running smoothly in the near future!
As a straight port ran into severe computational limits I have chosen to change the core quite a bit as well. I am using cheaper low pass filters to combat aliasing artefacts, and cut oversampling in favor of alternative algorithmic approaches. I must admit I am already quite happy with BTFLD, but also still trying to improve the sound quality. Cpu load has gone down enough to allow some elbow room. It is stil very much a WIP.
