To the devs: module handling

So its coming to a point where you lose track of all the modules that are available from users and from the devs. I just added the de-zipper to my module stash and thought about that somebody should maintain a proper list of modules that are slightly higher leveled than the ones that come with SM atm. So my call goes out to the devs, whether it would be possible that you maintain a pack of modules that ship with every SM release ?

This goes together with an updated ask for subgroups in the left side modules menu.

Would be neat to have a "Forum Modules" folder there that holds subcategories of modules...

Or would you need somebody to maintain that list? If you know a nice and quick way to have somebody helping you out, I'd be glad to do that!

yeah, I think its about time we start including high-level modules in the toolbox.

If you could send us a schematic with all the high level modules you think should be in the toolbox it would be great.

I now started on doing this. Will collect all the modules that seem to make sense.

Still I think that the devs should approve them of working correct!

Please also note that I will post images of these here, and that ppl then can claim to want their name written on it. I can't check on the copyright stuff myself, would be too time consuming to check on each module.

First Round - Modules that are distributed this way on the forum:

http://www.skore.de/synthmaker/NewOrder01/NO_GUI.rar

http://www.skore.de/synthmaker/NewOrder01/NO_Midi.rar

http://www.skore.de/synthmaker/NewOrder01/NO_MidLevel.rar (Things that wouldn't fit anywhere else, or that I don't understand myself)

http://www.skore.de/synthmaker/NewOrder01/NO_OSC.rar

Next task will be to comb through schematics and filter out modules, but this will require a lot more time 😉

Forgot to add: If you are the author of one of the modules and mind if it goes into the repository, drop a line to the devs.

devs: forgot to add that my module packs are certainly candidates for this

Thanks skOre, this will save us a lot of time. I think we'll have to be carefull not to add to the current confusion by putting in the toolbox loads of modules. We should go for quality and not quantity. We should start with a very small set of really essential modules that are working well and are easy to understand. So now that you've collected all the modules, I think the next step would be to select a few best candidates for the toolbox. I'd like to know which would be yours ( and everybody else's ) top ten or so.

You're right if you're talking about mid-level modules in general. But a user just can't have enough OSCs and Filters!

Will see if I can make a good choice of the others...

Also, once again, I'd like to press the issue of better organisation of the modules. We need subfolders!

I want them too and have done from the start but when i asked i got a lot of people saying that it should not be added and i think Jorge and Malc sort of said no to this -

Next Versions features? - An old post though

skOre ·

Hmm, yeah, but as the modules get more and more we need a better system (*dreaming of a graphical 2D structure*) 😉

Tom7777 ·

Well yeah i agree, back then i had quite a few modules still but now i have.... well lets just say loads of modules 🙂 They are not very organized at the moment and it would be very cool to be able to sub folder organize all of them.
