Proposal on PolyGnome (order of div/mult input)

Open firolightfog opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Firstly, it is a wonderful module! But the thing that drives me crazy is that the division/multiplication numbers are swapped.

So let's say I'd like to get the 1:2 tempo of the main clock then I need to set 2 and 1 (instead of 1 and 2). Similarly if I'd like to get the 3:5 tempo of the master clock then I need to set 5 and then 3. They are the other way around! Would you please consider swapping them?

ha funny. i guess it's just a convention but i always get confused too. I guess I could just flip the display and nothing would break since the params would be the same. I could even add a little button to do it :)

I vote for flipping! :) Preferably no more buttons please. It looks so clean and nice this way. But if you happen to find some place then a RESET input would be much appreciated.

What would a "RESET" input do?

Restart from the first hit again.

More scientifically: "The Reset input on a module accepts a trigger or gate signal, and tells the module to go back the beginning of whatever it was doing. In the case of a clock divider, this means pretend the next clock is the first clock you should be counting in the division (more on that below)."

ahh cool. so basically on reset gate up, set the clock count to 0

Hi! I'm finally coming back to this set of plugins as I wrap up the new Surge XT modules, and am consolidating all the various PolyGnome requests into a single issue (#72) which I'll get to this week or next; so am closing this one as subsumed by that. Thank you
