In the hypothetical future where a FX routing rework is released, with the ability to run FX in parallel or series with custom routings and a graphical UI, it would be interesting to add a series of small audio operation plugins to aid with the routing. The specific operators I suggest, are:
- Split Mid/Side: Take a stereo or mono signal and route two outputs, one with the mid signal and one with the side signal, to channels 1/2.
- Split Stereo: Take a stereo or mono signal and route each channel to the two outputs (so each can be used as a mono input to another FX).
- Gain knob
- Channel Delay: Adds a given ms delay to each channel and then outputs them.
- Signal Joiner: Takes two inputs and converts them into a stereo output.
- Polarity Swap
- Swap Channels
- RMS Autogain Adjuster: Giving it a pre signal and a post signal, it matches the loudness on its output to the pre signal.
- Pan mixer
- Signal Sum: Sum or substract all the inputs.
- VU meter
Most of this tools can be implemented as JS plugins. Their real utility comes with a graphical patch interface, similar to the wire routing window, with this small operators implemented like modules in the style of an eurorack.
