Hi currently loving the MM. My request centres around MIDI Poly workflow.
As far as I understand, you create a number of oscillators (up to 8) and then assign a polychain number to each of the 8 oscillators (which might also have a VCA/ENV associated with it to shape the volume).
This is powerful, and letās you vary things voice to voice - but it takes a long time to set each oscillator module up the way you want it, so could we get a āclone this moduleā feature? Where the currently selected module is duplicated, with itās exact settings?
This would make setting up Poly patches much quicker. And if this is exists and Iāve missed it, my apologies!
Yes, you get a thick patch cable in VCV for poly voices. I am not sure how we can do this for MM - is there a distinct lack of hardware capability to follow suit?
To use a signal path per voice seems okay but how do you distribute the voices?
MM should use the poly cables features built into vcv. Itās an important and useful feature of vcv.
Ofc, it will lead to higher cpu usage by users , but this is something users should manage - not an architectural imposition.
Allows users to use their judgment / experience.
Back at start of June, ā4mspedalsā on ModWiggler did say they were working on this ā¦
We are working on supporting polyphonic cables, that is, using a single cable to transfer multiple signals: the goal is to have that working just like it does in VCV (split, merge, polyphonic jack and cables, etc).
I understand - but even if thatās implemented, a āclone module with itās exact settingsā would be useful, so you could set up slightly different voices.
Iād be happy if the jacks and assigned knobs werenāt copiedā¦i can redo those - Iād just like the basic module, with itās knobs in the exact position, duplicated.
I also donāt want to use VCV, I would like to do my building all on the module
I think for more āadvancedā editing its reasonable to use vcv (desktop)ā¦ duplicating functionality that exists in desktop is a bit overkill on the module given its UI (basically one encoder+ button).
vcv desktop has lots of workflow features (e.g. selections) thatāll never realistically be possible on the module itself.
however, polyphonic cables are the opposite, these help in small patches, they help build quick patches on module AND they also a feature of the desktop that need to be transferred.
overall, I think its important to try to keep the balance rightā¦ what should be done āon moduleā and what we use the power of the desktop (keyboard/mouse/bigger screen for)
I think that you could hover over a module, hold down the knob and it could pop up with ācopy with assignā and ācopy withoutā - then you select one, and bam, it is replicated.
