Overview

Name | Version: Modern XY 0.1.1
Author: zchrome
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: A small and simple re-creation of the OG M4L device "XY Pad" from back in the days. Control two (or four) parameters with the X and Y values of a 2d cursor.

Features and improvements:

- Modernized look and feel
- Current day (2025) style of mapping interface, featuring bipolar and unipolar modulation or remote parameter takeover. Based on code in the stock Expression Control device
- Output curve controls, with a switch between one- or two segment ("S-shaped") Bézier curves
- Two additional mapping outputs, with source selection (either X or Y axis), with a small graphical (LCD-style) dragable interface (pictslider!)
- Snapback mode: in this mode, the cursor snaps back to the set coordinates when the mouse is released. Settable easing time (0 - 2000 ms) and curve
- Inertia mode: logarithmic smoothing of the cursor (+ spawns a spooky ghost cursor to represent the smoothed signal), simulating inertia. With smoothing time parameter
- Global depth control

Reuses some code from the stock Expression control device. Licensing is subject to future change; in general, please don't sell this device or any derivative of it.

Release 0.1.1 is a pre-release version. There are bugs!

Very cool device.  Just a heads up the .amxd I download for this site does not load on my Mac, however the .amxd I download from GitHub work worked just fine.
Thanks for checking it out!

Might have been the unfrozen version that I uploaded here by mistake; I've replaced it with the same file that is on GitHub.
