Title: [potential bug] Inconsistent behavior from "The Pool Card 1" MOD SRC
Post by: chamwow on February 01, 2025, 01:41:36 PM
Good Day!

I've noticed that sometimes The Pool Card 1 mod sources do not behave consistently. 

example:
FX1: Plate Reverb (FX2 is bypassed)
FX Lvl: 81
DRY Lvl: 100
Feedback: 40
Decay: 59
Predelay: 0
Damping: 65
Mod Dest: Feedback
Mod Src: The Pool Card 1
Modulations: None

Behavior:  A feedback loop occurred 
*Bypass FX 1*
Behavior: Feedback loop disappears (naturally)
*Enable FX 1*
Behavior:  A feedback loop occurred 
Mod Src: Tape
Behavior: Feedback loop disappears
Mod Src: The Pool Card 1
Behavior:  A feedback loop occurred 
*Power Cycle The Pool*
Mod Src: The Pool Card 1
M2:100
Behavior: Works as expected

Within the same power cycle I might setup another Pool Card 1 modulation with a Morph knob set at 100 to Feedback and it never quite reaches a feedback loop, only to power cycle the pool and create the same conditions and it result in a feedback loop when I set Morph 2 to 100 and turn the knob.  I've at least experienced this with both Morph knobs.

When you create modulations from card 1, it smoothly calculates a modulation value. If you stop the modulations, the last value transmitted still seems to be "memorized". This will be corrected.
In the "fx modulation" section, the next version will make modulation amplitude more logical.  Example:
max = 200, value = 80, 100% modulation = 0 to 160
max = 200, value = 140, 100% modulation = 80 to 200
In the previous version, juggling thresholds and amplitude was complex. With this logic, it's much simpler.
