Modulators for external effects.

Demonstration of the problem: As can be seen in the video, the filter fails to keep up with external modulation once it exceeds a certain speed threshold. This imposes limitations on the precision of working with effects when fast triggering is required. Solution: Simply add one or two Curve modulators to the external effects related to real-time sound manipulation, similar to those already present in Current (ideally, also replace the stock ones if possible, to add flexibility in working with the modulator's curve-even one Curve modulator would change a lot): Wave Shifter, Ripple Phaser, Morph EQ, Hybrid Filter. There should also be the ability to synchronize the modulators with the host in the usual way and via MIDI trigger. What problem does this solve: The problem of being unable to work precisely with rapid parameter changes, since external modulators and automations do not possess that level of synchronization with the VST.

a "randomize all controls" button in Rift, Wave Shifter (and more?)

i just think it’d be sweet to have a little dice icon in the top corner of some minimal plugins, like Rift and Wave shifter, that would randomize the position of every knob, switch, and dropdown menu, kind of like how newer unfiltered audio plugins (SILO) have. i do this kind of thing when i’m sound designing a lot, but i’m limited by the 16-macro cutoff and the fact that some controls aren’t exposed to automation (Rift pre/post filter switch when?). I know there’s already a random preset button, but i want something a lot more chaotic. this kind of interaction can be really inspiring, and i know minimal plugins really shine in this kind of workflow. if i was getting greedy, i might even suggest that this randomization be ā€œsmartā€ (auto-compensating high drive/input values with low output volumes), or the ability to ā€œlockā€ certain values so they’re ignored by the randomization, but i’d happily settle for just a brute force randomizer for now.

Bug with FM on subs -- phase wonkiness

Ran into this bug a while ago but just got around to recording video on it. When you load up sub oscillator on default settings, have it play contiguous midi notes (there have to be touching one another end to end), and then crank the fm (in feedback mode on the sub) you can get it into a state where the phase is inconsistent between notes. Some weirdness I ran into this bug: 1.) Doesn’t matter how many voices the synth has, seems to happen in polyphonic and monophonic mode 2.) There doesn’t seem to be an obvious threshold where the fm knob starts making this happen. 3.) The only way to reset it seems to be loading a new instance of current and deleting the old one — deactivating current and reactivating it wont break it out of this behavior. Slight loudness warning on the video for when i crank the fm.

Ability to turn effects on/off with modulation

Hello! I apologize if this has been requested in the past but I was using Current last night and was thinking it would be really sick to turn effects on/off by modulating the on/off buttons (on the Effects page) with the already robust curve automation system in the plugin. This same feature request honestly applies to the whole Minimal ecosystem, being able to use curve on the on/off button to rhythmically trigger tuned delays would be nuts. I realize this workflow is achievable with other means, but I think it would be more intuitive. I don’t know how feasible this request actually is, I could imagine this would spark cpu spikes etc. But if it is not possible, would there be a way to have these on/off buttons be automate-able in the DAW, when I have tried to configure it manually it seems impossible. Thank you, - Jonah

Evoke - Independent Dry/Wet controls for Resynth and FX

Maybe there’s a way to do this that I’m not seeing, but I’d love to have independent control over the dry/wet of the resynth engine and FX rack. For example, I really like how the ā€œretuneā€ pitch correction sounds on a dry voice with no resynth applied, but I’d like to still run it through the FX section. Right now the Dry/Wet slider controls both resynth and FX, so it’s not possible to have resynth off while FX are on. Would love to have that additional control and maybe even the option to apply retune to the dry signal on the resynth but not FX or vice versa. Could lead to some cool pitch variation or chorus effects running the non-pitch corrected vocal through reverb while keeping very tight tuning on the resynthed vocal. I guess just more routing options in general would be welcome. I’m loving this plugin!
