Module grouping

[lut lei]

As it is, the export module feature is great and will be very handy when we can have a folder to put our modules, so they can appear in the library for drag&drop action.

But I would also like to see an option for grouping several modules into a rack, and exporting this. Maybe it's been mentioned before?

Hello,

you could import any stack from any existing project to your new stack.
You just have to select import stack from the stack menue and select the project from which you want to import a stack. Then opens a window showing you all the stacks in that project, you pick the stacks one you want and press OK and the one or more stacks are imported to your new project.
Thats it.

Hello,

I also would like to see the posibilities for a User Module folder in the advanced library
for default settings of the modules which I use very often for drag & drop.
In the mean time I made my own " N2 - Module Library " aside my " N2 - Project Library " and import the modules from there via stack menue.

Yes, importing stacks is one thing. I'm talking about grouping maybe a gateseq ,velocityseq, intervalseq and so on. Make a group out of it, and export that with the internal routings intact.

The groups could also react together on maximize/minimize clicking.

+1 for this

Hello,

thing I understand now what you are about,
like combiner at reason or grouptracks in cubase or something similar in MAX called a patcher to group things together.
But I still could not see what you can do here in Numerology with it what you can not do with a stack, sorry.
A further explanation about this case would be very nice for me.
I always like to learn about Numerology.
Possible there are aspects I am not able to see from my path thru the jungle?

Yes. I guess you can do most of the things I'm talking about with stacks, but stacks have some limitations.
E.g. there is only three CV buses. (This paragraph was originally longer, but then I spotted the new
input/output-modules:eek: Thank you, Jim!)

It's also a matter of how one like to build sessions. The group or "racks" solution proposed would mean
less clicking, dragging, routing and generally messing around with the mouse. The patcher/abstraction
comparison in Max/MSP is a good one. I find my self doing the same things over and over in Numerology.
Adding the same modules and doing the same routing, before I start to get creative. I think it would be
convenient to have the option to do this in by adding one "rack"/group and then patching this one in.

But you made me think more about how I could customise this with the options already available, Jue,
- and that's good;) For too long I've been thinking about building myself a library of sessions, with custom
stack "templates", but I've never gotten around to do it;) Problem is, I've often started building a stack,
when I want to add a gate, interval, interval, interval, velocity, notegen - combo, and then I don't want
to start with a new stack, but continue with the one I've started on.

Hello,

to make a easy start with a new composition I am often selecting a new project and import an old stack first.
Then I change the notes and the timings that they match my new thougts.
Before I beginn adding or changing modules I make a copy of the stack and mute the old one to have it as an old version and start working further in the new one.
All this is done several times when building up the new composition for melodies, percussions, bass and even soundscapes or effects.
For the best thing is that I could work on the composition, the sounds and the production over all nearly the same time because every aspect could be modulated from Numerology within a few seconds.
Even automated mixing can be done on this way by modulating the stacks output volume and/or pan.
The possibilities are endless
