4ms Meta Module Support?

[Gh0stP1x3l]

Hi, these are great modules, many times my default choice within VCV rack for mixing and FX sends. Love what you've built for the community. Are there any plans to support loading the modules, (particularly the mixers & FX sends) on the 4ms meta module?

4ms publishes some more info about porting here: https://github.com/4ms/metamodule-plugin-sdk

Thanks again!

Hi, I'd have to check with Steve to see if he would be ok with it, and I don't anticipate he would mind, but the only thing is that we will not be doing the porting unfortunately. Like I told Dan at 4ms regarding my Impromptu modules, if he wants to port them he has my blessing, so for me the same goes for MindMeld as well.

Thanks for the kind words!

Cheers,

Marc

I don't want to make any promises, but I might be able to do the porting if it's okay with you and Steve.

If so, I think it would also be nice if people who bought pro would be able to use those features on the MetaModule as well, especially SM-CV and SM-Triggers, but I'm not sure if there's a way to handle paid modules on MetaModule.

Hi, I checked with Steve and it's all good for porting to 4ms if ever you decide to tackle this. A few things to keep in mind:

1. We will keep ShapeMaster-Pro in VCV Rack only, so it will not be ported unfortunately.
2. Other than some extremely minor changes to our parent repo (MindMeldModular), we won't be making changes on our side to support the porting, so please make sure that it's feasible before spending much time on it.
3. I will be updating the code related to the expander mechanism, and so I don't know if it would be worth waiting until Rack v3 comes out. Andrew has hinted at a compatibility-breaking change with regards to expanders, and I would like to implement an optimization (which I could do now, but will likely wait until v3 to redo it all in one go)
