Thanks, fixed…

It wasn’t meant as a jab against you: you have some of the best docs out there. I’m frustrated about the overall situation.

Many plugins are not documented at all including, unbelievably, some paid ones, and there’s one case of explicit disdain/sarcasm against docs (you know who you are).

No offense taken, all fine :grinning:

I‘ll try my best to write meaningful manuals but it takes time and effort. I‘m also planning to add some videos for my less known modules in the future, maybe in December.

Oh holy… that looks nice. This has some ideas I wanted to pick up when I started looking at the code. I had something like this in my mind https://www.senode.org/ But actually I’m not sure I ever start coding it :slight_smile: So if you find some nice ideas inside this app … :wink: It may already be very doable by connecting some existing modules, but I don’t have a good overview of the existing modules.

EDIT: I acutally have a feature idea: Ball Physics. If you can’t find proper simulation code in C/C++ code there is some good code Open Source available in Googles Flutter framework. Here is the API documentation for the Simulation class: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/physics/Simulation-class.html

Thanks! That sounds interesting and I will take a look! For the first release I won’t add something fancy, but maybe for a future update :grinning:

22

Yeah, I picked up this idea several years ago when I first been using Lemur

23

Arena is really interesting and can produce pretty noises :wink:

although it might not be the intended use :wink:

see this Strip preset (just plug the Tangents out into a mixer ), where Caudal ,odulates Arena, then through Tangents modulated by 8LFO, when you play a bit with the Tangents and 8LFO settings there are some nature sounds possible.

! please rename the file to: Aren…02.vcvss I couldn’t upload it in this format. !

Have you checked out JW Modules: Bouncy Balls?

25

Jupp, already used it :blush:

Ok, this is just crazy :upside_down_face:

For each of the mix-ports in ARENA you can draw up to 16 motion sequences (besides controlling x and y by CV) that can be addressed using SEQ and driven by PHASE. I also added some parameterized presets :smiley:

I look at the picture a few minutes… is it supposed to move ?

29

The picture? Yes, it’s an animated gif, about 30 seconds long?

I thought so, does it move in your browser ? I’m on FF and it sometimes FFup. EDIT Reloaded and here it goes love the tornado. Was already using the record function and loved looking at it. But these presets are cool. :+1:

Apologies if this isn’t the proper thread to ask Arena questions…

Is there a way to adjust the volume curve of each input? it seems like as i approach one it could begin more gradually, is there a way i might achieve a more gentle start from zero in volume? if there is no way to do this within the module, is there a clever way I could still achieve this?

32

I would never use a module with no documentation. I guess a lot of people don’t mind no docs??

At first glance it appears to share some of the same sensibilities as Sha#bang!'s “Neutridode”. (Yet is very different.)

So, of course now I gotta install ARENA. :face_with_monocle:

i certainly prefer a module to at least have a manual that i can check if i need to, but a lot of times it can just be fun to experiment without knowing too much about how things are meant to work.
