Overview
This module implements eight vertical controllers with glide. The glide function is implemented just like the one in the Triple XY module. There are two groups of four faders, each group has its own glide parameter.
Each fader generates one CV stream. There is both a current value (which is the output value) and a target value for each fader. The current value is represented by a colored dot, the target value by a white circle. When you set a new target value by clicking on the XY grid, or by modifying the Target number boxes, the current value will move to the new target value at a rate dictated by the Glide parameter. This parameter specifies how long, in beats, the current value will take to move to the new target value.
Output values for the XY Controllers default to the range of -1.0 to +1.0, but those values can be changed in the advanced settings panel for the module. To adjust them, click on the small triangle in the lower left corner of the module.
The current and target values of each fader are mirrored by the number boxes below them, this allows you to see and set the exact current and target values. It also allows you to add MIDI Remote control over the faders by control-clicking on the number boxes. For best results, map MIDI controls to the Target Value. Setting up MIDI Remote control over the Current values is not very useful, unless the glide time is non-zero. Otherwise, as soon as you set a new Current value, it will zip over to the existing Target value immediately.
This labels above each fader can be customized by double-clicking on them.
This module can also generate CC values, for controlling MIDI devices (hardware or software). All that is necessary is to set which CC number to generate (in the advanced settings panel), the MIDI Channel, and to route the MIDI output for the module to the desired target.
Techniques
This module is very similar to the Triple XY module and can be used in all the same scenarios.
The generic nature of the faders also make this module ideal as a virtual control surface. You can use CC messages it generates to control MIDI devices, and in conjunction with ParamMod modules, you can control parameters in any other Numerology module.
Parameters
Target Value(1-8)The Target value of the fader.
Current Value (1-8)The Current X value of the fader. The current value will always move to the target value at the rate set by the Glide control.
Glide (1-4, 5-8)Set the rate, in beats, that the current fader values will move to the target fader values.
Advanced Parameters
These parameters are accessible by opening the Advanced Settings panel of the module, just click on the little triangle icon in the lower-left corner of the module.
Min Value (1-8)Sets the minimum value of the fader.
Max Value (1-8)Sets the maximum value of the fader.
CC Number (1-8)Sets CC Number for the fader to generate. The default is 0, which means no CC messages will be generated.
MIDI ChannelSets the MIDI Channel for any generated CC messages.
Ports
MIDI Out
The MIDI output port for any generated CC messages.
CV Out (1-8)There is a separate CV output for each fader.
