I also built a html to plan the UI layout, which always took me long time to ask AI.

hi @mmmmmmmadman Is there a new release? Github says the release was last week but you also had a dropbox.

the dropbox is for the editor mainly, the release 2.1.8 is the same as Github and hello there :smiley:

on the github releases page it shows 2.1.6 Releases Ā· mmmmmmmadman/MADZINE-VCV Ā· GitHub

That’s an old meta module release. I moved it to another place already. should I also make release for VCV Rack? I think I don’t have to, right?

Ya I have a separate repo and releases for my meta module builds.

yes I learned that after 2.1.7

Hey, is this collection still being developed? I just discovered weiii documenta, which is nuts but also completely uncontrollable, and there’s no manual. There’s a control for number of polyphonic voices, but I can’t seem to get more than one channel out of it, and it’s also not clear at all what the sample and hold is doing.

I don’t know if it’s correct, but it seems that MADZINE has made an update in the vcv library, and I found this there.

Fix mixer chain auto-connect index errors

Fixed automatic chain connection between U8, YAMANOTE, ALEXANDERPLATZ, and SHINJUKU modules. The code was using incorrect index calculations for chain input ports, causing the system to reference Solo Trigger inputs instead of Chain inputs. This resulted in chain detection failures when looking left and incorrect send cable copying behavior.

I played around with your new Madzine module ā€˜Launchpad’ and think this is a very nice concept for a looper!

Here are a couple of impressions/bugs/ideas for improvement:

Playing scenes from left to right works fine. However, when playing them right to left (e.g. 4th column, then 1st column), the display of column 4 gets stuck in the green mode and cannot be re-activated except after clicking on the ā€˜Stop All’ button.

Deleting pads (hold for 5 seconds) seems awfully long and cumbersome. Perhaps there would be a better mechanism, such as a button near or on the pad. Alternatively, be able to set the hold time for deletion in the context menu (e.g. 1 to 5 sec). Also, I currently do not see any visual feedback on acceptance of deletion while the pad is held. Would be nice, if the pad was e.g. blinking briefly upon acceptance so the user know that the hold can be released.

A feature request: It would be great to be able to set the playback speed/pitch of each pad.

WIN10, VCV Rack 2.6.6, Plugin Version 2.4.0

Update for MADZINE v2.4.3

Commit: bdf27c15eb822fda7474144cbbadafcf98813c56


Launchpad

New Feature: Per-Cell Playback Speed Control

  • Added variable playback speed for each recorded cell, ranging from -8x (fast

reverse) to 8x (fast forward)

  • Right-click any cell with content to access the speed menu with preset

options and a custom slider

  • Supports reverse playback with negative speed values

  • Speed settings are saved with the patch

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed scene display remaining stuck in green when triggering scenes from

right to left

  • Cells now correctly show fade-out state instead of staying in playing state

UX Improvements

  • Hold-to-delete with 1-second hold time

  • Enhanced delete visual feedback: red overlay, progress bar at bottom, and

ā€œDELETEā€ text appears at 50%


Global Panel Settings

  • Added ā€œSave theme as defaultā€ and ā€œApply theme to all MADZINE modulesā€

options

  • Added ā€œSave contrast as defaultā€ and ā€œApply contrast to all MADZINE modulesā€

options

  • New modules now automatically use the saved default theme and contrast

settings

Thank you very much, that was really quick! I will test after the update becomes available in the library.

glad you didn’t try it because I found some bugs and fixed it this morning. I guess there’ll be more lol

Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll let you know if I find more.
