Multiple modulation sources bug workaround

Post by antonborisov »

I found a workaround for annoying multiple modulation sources bug in 2.02. It's ugly but functional:
  • 1. Locate preset file.
    2. Open it in text editor. The file itself is in XML format and it is human readable.
    3. Find the desired section, in my case this one for LP filter. The filter has one modulator, key follow:

    <LPFBiQuad Bus="Oscillator" Freq="382.762" Name="Filter" Order="3" Q="0.277778" Role="Ins">
    <SignalConnection ModulationDestination=">Freq" ModulationRatio="1" ModulationSource="@VoiceParam KeyFollow" Name="SignalMod1"/>
    </LPFBiQuad>

    4. Add another one, let's say Global LFO 1:

    <LPFBiQuad Bus="Oscillator" Freq="382.762" Name="Filter" Order="3" Q="0.277778" Role="Ins">
    <SignalConnection ModulationDestination=">Freq" ModulationRatio="1" ModulationSource="@VoiceParam KeyFollow" Name="SignalMod1"/>
    <SignalConnection ModulationDestination=">Freq" ModulationRatio="0.886364" ModulationSource="$Program/GlobalLFO1" Name="SignalMod2"/>
    </LPFBiQuad>

    5. Save file, reload preset in MachFive and enjoy.
You can look for SignalConnection format in other preset files or just by adding different modulators from MachFive interface. You only need to provide unique Name attribute to modulator (this is where actual MachFive bug is).
