stoermelder's Idea und Development Thread

Dear Stoermelder , Thank you for developing all those modules that makes our work much easier … I have an Idea for a module ( or it can be a funcion of strip module ) As I started to work with a lot of modulesI wonder if is it possible to compress/expand a striip to a small box so that it wont occupy to much space … thanks in advance

I was about to respond “Not possible!”… but, apparently, it is… (just a proof-of-concept)

Does this lower the GPU usage of rack since those modules are no longer rendering?

If I get it working stable, then yes.

Will you still call widget::step()? I have some plugins that use step() to basically act as a low priority worker so my plugin::process() doesn’t have to do heavy things. I know I’m not “supposed” to do this, of course, but it’s a super easy hack for me until v2 comes out to spoil the party.

Ben, you’re the Man !!! :+1:hope to see it in the next release​:crossed_fingers:

This is seriously cool if you can get this working solidly. Hookah!

Folding, finally! New wave of VCV indeed

Wow. Recursive Folding. Event Horizon reached. Singularity should be the name of this module.

There should be a high tech town Stoermelder on the world map soon, in the name of, actually! Thanks

Great stuff, but why did you remove the menu bar extension ? Was it causing problems ? I loved that I did not have to load the MB module to have the zoomed in browser.

Because it will lead to crashes when used the same time as MB in PackOne. I’ll add some checks in the next days and re-enable it then.

Thank you.

Ok well, the really, I mean really good news - it’s GPU saver! One folded row with mindmelder stuff just reduced GPU consumption (rx470) by 5 percents! It’s a huge number for laptop users. And not good news - found some bug. When you try to unfold the folded strip on the different row you will get smth like this

Yeah, I know. It is not “finished” and it does not prevent right now doing some things you shouldn’t do. I will work on it in the next days and add the missing pieces.

wow - magic!

Yes, of course. The ModuleWidget is invisible (and placed out of scope) but ModuleWidet::step is called as usual.
