Would be wonderful to be able to use Dexter from within MM. I know some Valley plugins already exist, but Dexter is the crown jewels!
This looks insane. How do you plan on using it, it has like 2x the jacks and knobs even with expanders? I can try my hand at it though.

Haha yeah there are a lot of jacks and knobs. How I would use it is different every time, but the main thing is it has everything set up nicely for FM in the first place, and then I can choose what I’d want on a knob/jack.
I’m early into my modular journey, so looking to use MM for making good complex oscillators and particularly FM oscillators (which I love) to feed into analogue filters/envelopes/vcas. I’d basically love something like the Humble Audio quad operator (hardware), but decided to spend the money on MM instead in the hope I can patch my own version of the HA Quad.
@etcetc if you’re having a go at Valley I would love to use Terrorform, a really gnarly wavetable oscillator.
Initially we skipped Terrorform because of the use of screens, menus, and filesystem access. But we have some of that now, so we can revisit it. The screen on Terrorform would need to be adapted since we still don’t (and may never) support clicking at X-Y positions (i.e. using a mouse), but if it gets turned into a rack::ui::Menu object, it could work (might not be a fun UI to navigate, though)
Dexter should be easy to add, though… I’m not sure how practical it will be to play? The holdup was that it needs .bin files compiled into the binary. Shouldn’t be too hard to do. I think converting the .bin files to .h headers using xxd -i would be the way to go. If you go for it @etcetc, then make a PR on our Valley fork: GitHub - 4ms/ValleyRackFree at metamodule and/or the metamodule-plugin-examples repo

Yeah, it’d be some long menus, but picking a wave bank one time (on the Meta or in VCV Rack) and then modulating through it with CV on the Meta would be super fun.
