I can put my EG and array loader together as simple module, but modular refuses to load it. What steps are necessary, to create a modular module, which can be accepted by Modular?

The quick answer to this one if you don't care about the right-click poly/single mode switching functionality is to modify a modular 1 module - http://www.modularsynth.co.uk/modular1.shtml

Otherwise...

For testing, I'd love to do that (even though the surface is quite ugly), but right-clicking doesn't do anything resembling open for editing or mono/poly. So, please otherwise...

modular modules don't have a "surface". the surface itself is in the circuit. it is super frustrating but as done by adern, bc modular and others it can be done. you edit the surface in the top level of the circuit, and the circuit in the levels below. like mentioned, the best way is to take an existing module and edit it. good luck!

I think I understand that. But my problem is, I can't see a way to insert an existing dsp/ScopeFx module into the modular module.
I'm not getting at the circuit at all.

you need an unlocked modular module for that.

what module are you using to try?

add my on facebook we can chat about stuff -

OK, we are getting somewhere. What modular module could be unlocked? And I'm trying a MS EG module combined with a loader module (written by me) to become a modular module.

Done

I have got an unlocked modular module. I can replace the inner circuit with my stuff, but I haven't found a way, to create the required surface objects (like pot, button and jacks) on the surface. In the project tree, I can see they are paced under ControlChild, but don't show up in the surface. And when do the in/out jacks appear?

If anyone, one day has the courage to write a guide to build a simple modular module in SDK, I hope he'll not forget to upload it somewhere easy to find !

I promise! I've got the time, the means and the tools. I still need someone to push me in the right direction, but when it's done, a doc will be the answer!

Don't know if these will be helpful or not but worth looking into.

Great, Dragon ! I'm impatient !

And thanks for those useful links, sounddesigner !

Now, the only missing thing is ..... Time !

Thanks for the links. But the thing I'm looking for (modular modules surface pads) still remains to be a mystery.

here too eh :/ the only way i found so far is to use a module with the i/o i want and modify. i managed to duplicate controls though, but not to add ones. like if it has a fader i can duplicate it and have other faders, but if i try to add a control by myself from the folders it doesn't work. hmm

I've put the first part of a tutorial together. Hope it helps - http://www.bcmodular.co.uk/forum/viewto ... f=35&t=349

After exporting Pads from the circuit inside your modular module make sure you're in circuit mode and you should see the Pads on the top level. You then just need to delete the Pad Text, swap out the bitmap for the Pad and move it into position on the module.

Make sure you're in surface mode. Drop the new control into the project window and position it on the module before moving it into the ControlChild folder in the Project Explorer.

WoarR ! Shark ! You are irreplaceable ! Thanks a LOT !

I don't have even a minute, right now but asap, I'll follow that..! Let's encourage new developers !

aweeeeeeeeesome!!!!!!!!! thanks mate good stuff!

Beware: not all controls can be used like that. A button (for ex.) will work, but not the on-off button. No idea yet why. But Simon, thanks a lot. It makes things much clearer.
