Default Parameter Modulation Questions + Bugs + Requests

Questions:

1. "Input dB" in the Signal shaper
-> How do you call both input fields/functions? Can't they be properly named? DONE


Bug:

1. Signal shaper's faders get resetted to -0.02 dB on doubleclick. Shouldn't both be resetted to 0.00 dB? Or the left to -24 dB and the right to 0.00 dB (as they are on default)? FIXED (3.06pre5)

2. The Input levelmeter always shows stereo even when it just receives on one channel. This really should be fixed/improved to actually see whats coming in!



Requests:

1. Would be cool to add more LFOs (like we add Sends/Receives in the Routing window for example)

2. Possibility to modulate Reaper's Track/Send/Receive-Envelopes (Volume, Pan, Mute, Sends)!

3. Doubleclick on the red circle in the Signal shaper should reset it to default DONE

4. Baseline slider should display values/numbers from the VST parameter!

AND: Tweaking the (baseline)parameter directly in the VST still should be possible/allowed! Currently we're forced to use the baseline fader in the Parameter Modulation window, which is not that nice sometimes (for example if you have the window closed).

the left fader reset bug is fixed in 2.4rc0, thanks!

but the right fader still gets resetted to -0.02 dB instead of 0.00 db (which is the value when opening a new modulation window for the first time) ...

it's cool, that you can use the parameter envelope instead, but if you don't want to, you always have to re-locate your setting with the baseline setting, which can be very fiddly, which also goes for the other faders.

i tried to make a phaser with ReaDelay and had to enter my tiny values with the keyboard into my sine generator, but had to set the baseline to 0ms, because i couldn't get anything like .3 ms - no manual entering possible.

another thing: why does the sine only add to the baseline? it should also subtract, it's a sine! IMO you'd look for a center setting first and then swing AROUND it with the sine generator, not swing UPWARDS from it.

didn't test this yet. but this should be configurable. in surge vsti this is called "unipolar" (upward or downward from baseline) and "bipolar" (around baseline) ...

You can subtract the sine, by setting the LFO mix negative, but you can't currently center it on the baseline. Maybe what's needed is two sliders for the LFO (and audio control signal): one for strength, and one for direction. So strength=100% and direciton=0 would center the modulation on the baseline.
