What do the 4 modulators do in MAutoDynamicEQ?
 
Is it possible to explain this in 50 words or less? I can't seem to sit through the video.

Do you mean the morphing feature?

In all seriously, I have no idea what I mean.
 
But I did just go to find the line item:
 
4 exceptionally versatile modulators
 
I was asking about and discovered that the line was actually was a hotlink to a drop down box that had this extra info:
 
"MAutoDynamicEq provides 4 fully-featured modulators which can control any set of parameters including other modulators. Each modulator works as an LFOlevel follower, midi/audio triggeredADSR enveloperrandomizer or pitch detector, or even a combination and can listen to the plugin's side-chain

You can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. You can make various parameters depend on the input (or the sidechain) level or even listen to the input pitch."
 
Which gives me some clue what the modulators are for... but leaves me wondering why oh why?

I suspect simply because it was just dead easy to add.  Vojtech, I must believe, is a master of C++ class design.  I appears that he's accumulated this powerful collection of classes like a multi-purpose modulator.  Classes are like cookie cutters that produce cookie objects.  Once you've got one that works, it's no work at all to produce lots of cookies.  Who needs modulation in an EQ, [auto]dynamic or otherwise?  Probably next to nobody - at least I'm hard pressed to think of a common use of EQ modulation.  If there were, you can assume we'd see such in Pro-Q at very least, given how much FabFilter likes modulation with finesse.
 
But putting a Melda modulator in the EQ doesn't hurt anything efficiency-wise and it probably costs Vojtech next to nothing in extra development time, so why not?  At least that's what I would assume here.

I imagine it would appeal to someone who likes the process of sound design or perhaps the sound of sound designs.

I was unaware there were modulators in that plugin, and I thought I'd dug into every conceivable aspect of it. Can you point me to the text quoted above, either in the help file or in the product page?
 
The only thing I can think of is that it might be referring to the X/Y controller, which allows you to automate morphing from one configuration to another. But that wouldn't explain the reference to an ADSR envelope. It almost sounds as though the text was inadvertently pasted from another product.

I had to edit the previous post because the formatting sort of hid the line that is listed in the features:
 
http://www.meldaproduction.com/plugins/product.php?id=MAutoDynamicEq
 
Key Features:
 
4 exceptionally versatile modulators
 
 
The page "style" is such that those line items don't appear as links, but they are and they open up drop down boxes.

I haven't used them, but I think the modulators could be used to modulate the frequency, gain, ect...
 
It says they can modulate any parameter.
 
IOW you could use one modulator to change the freq while another modulator modulates that to a certain pulse.
 
And the modulators can be affected by the SC so bass drum into the SC and have the modulator affect a fequency + or - depending what you want.

You can make a Wah Wah effect with your EQ.

Well that was some of the first things I thought of. I'm sure with a little imagination it could go somewhere.
 
But you have to be willing!! : )
