Hello and a couple of questions

[Winget]

I've just started using ModPlug and I'm very impressed. After using cubase that crashed my pc too often, something that is far more impressive for nothing!

My question - Can I get more than one VST effect on a VST instrument? I can't seem to work this one out.

Is there to set up automatic pattern effects, or do I have to do them individually.

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the fantabulistic world of Modplug! Let me be the first to greet you to this fine community of fellow musicians. What kind of music do you like/write?

Now to your questions. More than one effect on a VSTi? I don't know. Supposedly if you open up your VSTi via the Edit button, at the top of the menu you should be able to select output, then send it through a VST, but I've never gotten this to work.  Another idea is to make an instrument then assign the VST to the instrument.  Then, confine the instrument to one channel, then apply a VST to that channel.

As for automated effects, no. But, try this. If you know what you want your starting and ending values of the effect you want to 'automate', plug those in in their respective locations, then highlight the entire column, right click, and select 'Interpolate Effect'

I know its not quite clear, so if you need anymore help, I'll be here.

That won't work

You need to select what VST you want to route the ouput to in "output to" on the "general" tab.

Another idea is to make an instrument then assign the VST to the instrument.  Then, confine the instrument to one channel, then apply a VST to that channel.

That won't work.

You need to assign pluigns EITHER to an instrument or to a channel. I would suggest not using VST effects on channels unless you're only using sample based instruments (not VSTis)

You can have as many vst acting on any instrument as you want. Just redirect the output of the first vst to the 2nd, and so on (in the General tab, look for "Mix settings", "Output to"). Notice that the order in which you load the vst counts; you can redirect the output only to vst that have been loaded AFTER, but that is not a problem, since you can change the order (General tab, "Effect plugins" area, "Move"; this let you move the selected vst to an empty slot).

I like all sorts of stuff, electronic (older stuff like Kraftwerk, early Human League, newer stuff like Photek, Squarepusher) I also like extreme metal and dub reggae.

As for stuff I write, depends what mood I'm in, usually ambient, sometime D&B, but at the moment I'm doing minimalist techno in the vein of Plastikman


Thanks for all your help!

Anytime  

Kraftwerk, eh? Not a bad group. Squarepusher's pretty tight too. Y'ever listen to any Tiesto?
