@Christoph-Hart said in Modulation intensity modes (bipolar, scale, add?):
I‘m currently locked in on three modes:
- scale multiplies the value by the intensity, defining how much the signal
- unipolar adds or subtracts the modulation from the current value
- bipolar adds or subtracts the value with the center around the current value.
The multiplication always comes first.
Wouldn't you want scaling on the unipolar and bipolar modes? Is scaling a mode? It seems more like a multiplier?
knobValue + LFO * modulationIntensity
where the LFO itself currently has bipolar and additive modes, no?
Either way, I would love to help in figuring out a simple, clean, contemporary drag-and-drop modulation assignment as seen in Vital and Serum (I find these to be the fastest and most intuitive way to assign complex modulation).
Maybe options for modifier key + drag sets modulation intensity
knob with concentric arcs for visually setting the scale intensity range, and current modulated value similar to the image at the top of the post.
I am also a huge fan of "Morph / Macro assign methodology," where a switch can be flipped "ON" to enable setting the influence of a modwheel or a macro control by simply moving any parameter while the macro/morph assign is true.
The nord modular uses a method like that and it gets very powerful and fantastic for honing in on refined sound design presets as you can sculpt the main sound, then adjust the knob or modwheel etc to its top value and turn every knob you like in any direction and they will all shift along with the macro/morph controller
