Motion

Modulation Monster

A classic Ugo synth - inspiring songs since 2003.

Overview

The basic idea behind Motion, as its name suggests, is to offer a wide variety of ways to create automated movement of the synth's sound. This is achieved by the use of 4 envelopes, 8 LFOs, three 16 step sequencers, and a filtered delay module...all of which can sync to your host's MIDI clock.

Motion is capable of a huge range of sounds, and its modulation options can provide anything from subtle shifts in the sound, to presets so complex they're nearly songs in their own right.

2 oscillators (PD and VA)

System Requirements

Windows OS
Support for 32-bit plug-ins
VST compatible host
Moderately quick processor
Electricity and speakers might be handy too

Installation

Just open the zip, drag/drop the folder into your VST directory and you're done. That's it...no annoying installers or registration process.

EULA

Feel free to use the supplied presets in your songs - but just don't distribute samples created from of them. Those sounds are the creations of other people and it is not fair to them if you profit from reselling their work.

You are using this software at your own risk. While I do what I can to prevent trouble, I claim no responsibility for damage to your hardware, software, income, reputation, sleep habits, hat size, or person should something go wrong.

Bugs - Motion

Multi-core processors + Multiple Instances
Unfortunately VSTs built with older versions of SynthEdit (such as this one) are not properly compatible with multi-core processors. Single instances work fine, but multiple instances can cause crashes in hosts that have multi-processor support activated. As time allows I will be working on updates to all my plug-ins using the latest version of SynthEdit, which will eliminate this bug.

In the meantime, there are a few workarounds for this issue.

1. Make additional copies of the dll for each extra instance you expect to need, and give each a new name. (eg: Motion2.dll, Motion3.dll, etc.) Hosts consider each an individual instance, and therefore do not run into the multiple instance conflict.

2. Freeze each instance before loading another one, especially if your host has an “unload while frozen” option.

3. Turn off multi-processing in your host. Of course this is the least desirable.

Sequencer Reset

In some hosts, the sequencer may not reset properly - resulting in inconsistent start times during playback or rendering. I apologize for this and a fix will be included in the next update. For best results, start playback at the beginning of a bar with a little bit of pre-roll.

FL Studio Lag
FL Studio users may experience a lag between when you press play and when the sequencer starts. A lag also occurs when pressing the rewind button. This problem is caused by an incompatibility between this plug-in and the reset procedure FL runs every time you play/rewind.

To fix this problem:
1. Press the options button in FL studio (at the top of the screen)
2. Choose the Audio Settings from the drop down menu
3. Turn off “Reset plugins on transport"
