Hello again, first thank you all for the nice start here in the forum. Sure, there wasnt any great probs, but im ure they will come ! 😉 I just have some questions here. I would be very grateful, if you coukd answer them:

1: Is there any Phaser here in the Forum ? I need the construction of a Phaser and a working Example ! 2: SOME BIG GUI (NOT) KNOWLEGE ! ^^ I want to make 2 smaller windows in my synth, in which you can place Effects. But there are 5 Effects and if you click a button the window will change to the effect with his controles. Can somebody gimme an example how to do this ? (If u need an example, Sylenth1 the Effect Page in the middle or Sugar Bytes Unique the Effects too) 3: I need 4 Panorama Knobs to change the pan of my 4 OSCs. But i have no idea, how to make an Panorama ! 😀 4: And I wanted to link a LFO to a CombDelay Knob, but youll will see in the pic below, i dont know, how to do that:

2) Multipage

Okay, Answer 2 is cleared ! Thanks

You could try this for a pan. I've just reversed a parabolic crossfader I had lying around. You probably want it in decibel scale ideally but you can figure that out yourself if you need to

YEAH, thank you ! This forum is awesome ! 😀

HELP!

I read the link with the Multipage bit i want to change the whole synthpage . Can somebody explain, how to do this ? I tested ot the .osm File too but the buttons disappeard and some bugs like that ?!!?!? 😝 Because i have to arrange this SHIT: http://www.sendspace.com/file/4w8zuh

And Answer 4 is cleared too, i tested it many hours ! I just need this multipage but i have no idea, how i can make these 3 pages (Master, OSC and Effectpage) host modules and so on. In the link to the forumpage are just GUI, but no Modules and so on .

Thanks in advice and i really hope, somebody can help me !

this is an example of working multipage don't know if you are looking for this but it's multipage

you can erase all the "links" which go out the multiplex -

DownFlex ·

I tend to sketch up on paper a few ideas first to see what layout i like and what i think would be easy for the user to understand. once I have a layout I'm happy with I then sketch it up in photoshop and when it's layed out in Photoshop I then think of what textures will look good along side my previously designed knobs. I would suggest doing a variety of tutorials on textures or you could just do a certain tutorial at the time you want to use that certain texture. I also tend to put my shadows on my BG and not with the knob unless the knobs need an animated shadow.

Okaay, thank you, well, i created some small 8x8 px "LEDs" but they are round, and i dont want to make the rest out of the LED transparent, can SynthMaker import Transparents or should i use the same color as the BG ?

loopeytunes ·

save your LED as a .png, make sure that the BG around the LED is set to transparent before you save it as a .png

SM will import transparents just as long as you have set the BG to transparent

yours is better i've just made a very fast example you're welcome

DownFlex ·

okay, saved it as PNG !

But there is still a problem with multipages. i dont know how ich can change the page of the whole synth. Because the multipage isnt connected with Freq or Velocity. Im relly confused now. My Synth is already done, but i only have to make a page for Effects and they have to work, even if i changed back to the OSC Page.

I really need some prof Help ! Im n00b at multipages now ! 😝

you can do multipage gui's in many ways! I prefer to do it with wireless connections,much tidier! here is a modified example synth with main and effect pages separated. if you want a hand with your gui then no problem.

DownFlex ·

YEAH ! Thank you really much !

And with the GUI ! Well show me some Work of yours. Im sure you can help me with some designs ! 🙂)))

cristian02 ·

DownFlex ·

Yeah ill try it but this topic is cleared, im ready to create Multipages ! xD But thanks !
