Thoughts on Matthew Friedrichs Floats module (clone of Make Noise Maths)?

I must admit, it tracks V/oct much better than rampage as a VCO, and the ultra short attack time makes is a crazy waveshaper as a filter. It is also the only module that does the serge SSG, which seams as self patching madness as math…

I have been whatching a lot of Serge system videos lately. I don’t think patch programable is more useful in hardware than VCV, each time you turn math into an eveloppe or an LFO, you loose a VCO or a filter… Patch programing is more a way to work with very few different modules, you just have to learn them very well, and That could be good for VCV as well., you could do a complete album with like 16 Spikes running at the same time!

This module is quite a good intro in the Serge selfpatching world, I believe it’s the only one in this spirit… Unfortunately, the last version of the GUI is quite a mess… It will take time to get use to

Would it not be possible to make a module that does what Maths does without exactly copying the functionality of it? I hear a lot about Maths (and have been hearing about it since I got into all this a while ago) and it seems that you could make something as interlinked and multifaceted without impinging on the MakeNoise IP.

As for today, Friedrisch’s module doesn’t interfer with Math’s IP (it could be discussed how Math interfer with Serge IP, but other story), It’s still a clone has it has all the features, but it is a different layout, there is more and unreleated features, whider time range, … I really think it can be seen as it’s own beast now, it’s more “math meets rampage meets Serge DUSG, NCOM and SSG” at the same time

Other than that, you have what math does by combining befaco ramppage and A*B+C

I just wish he had some help with the design. The latest version is quite offensive to the eye. If someone who designs awesome modules could do some design, you know… :wink: :wink: :wink:

Or at LEAST a manual that tells you the function of everything… the manual is still for Floats…

Anyone know where the documentation/manual is for Spikes/Floats. I’ve not found it so far. Would be useful to have a link for this

Do you know the link for the Floats manual? It would be better than nothing

Do anyone have this version?

I think that one is 0.6.x only. I seem to remember that variheight modules actually aren’t supported by v1, but I could be wrong.

Deleted, I don’t know what I was doing wrong but did manage to get the plugin loaded by placing in the ~/Documents/Rack2/plugins folder.

Great module, just as all of Friedrich Audio’s modules :slight_smile:

here on win 11 it loads fine

User error on my part. Working great now, looks like it’s going to be a great addition to my rack!
