peppermint's GUI kit (split topic)

peppermint · 25 Apr 2011

Just added a new component - GroupToggle3D - in the module 'More 3D'. Similar to the GroupBox3D, but this toggles a view between two attached modules each time the button is clicked.

pall · 28 Apr 2011

Good and nice work peppermint 😀 Thanks!

Glad you like the kit - and thanks for the thanks!

Made some Moog style animated knobs (as near as I could get using Knobman). I couldn't add these in the original kit as it then exceeded the upload file limit, so here they are on there own.

infuzion · 2 May 2011

Thanks for sharing Peppermint, but I wonder if this is the wrong thread. Should be in the Graphics forum folder IMHO.

peppermint · 3 May 2011

An X-Y Pad - has a couple of 'design-time' glitches which I can't figure out, but seems to work fine once it's in a VST ...

peppermint · 4 May 2011

Another GUI widget - GroupSwitch3D. Similar to the GroupToggle3D, but you can attach any number of modules to be viewed.

peppermint · 5 May 2011

Improved Moog knobs - same as the previous Moog style knobs, but with an improved knob shape, additional position indicator line on the caps, additional light coloured versions of the metalic cap knobs, and an additional silver coloured set.

peppermint · 6 May 2011

Just made small versions of the improved Moog knobs to complement those in the previous post, which were only rendered in the larger size.

peppermint · 7 May 2011

Two 3D-style buttons - PushButton3D and ToggleButton3D - both featuring an alignable caption, optional alignable icon image, optional background texture image, and an optional boolean Enabled state input.

peppermint · 8 May 2011

Just added animated drawbars in seven colours:

peppermint · 9 May 2011

Made some sliders (vertical only) with colour-tinted chrome-effect thumbs and track images with or without scale markings...

aliasant · 9 May 2011

Peppermint. We all appreciate this but as Infuzion said some posts back your probably in the wrong thread. Maybe you should start a new thread in the graphics department and one of the admins can help you move the posts?

Andrew J · 9 May 2011

I've split the topic out but kept it in the Registered Users area as I'm not sure if peppermint wants it available to all (if you do, let me know and I will shift it to Graphics).

You may as well move it into the Graphics section, as I was about to follow aliasants advice and and start a new thread there. Many thanks! (and sorry for being in the wrong thread).

Andrew J · 9 May 2011

No worries - it's done. BTW thanks for sharing!

peppermint · 30 May 2011

A few improvements/additions to some of the previous components:

Slide Switches - now available in seven colours, as well as the original 'metal'.

Toggle Switches - now includes a smaller version of each of the originals.

LEDs - Increased contrast between On and Off states for better visual impact.

peppermint · 30 May 2011

More improvements ...

3D Components - Added an Icon property to the Label3D and the FloatLabel3D so now you can have image and text together; also all 3D items now have a property to set the Alpha level on the 3D bevel - all are available in the one download, which includes the following: GroupBox3D, GroupSwitch3D, GroupToggle3D, Label3D, FloatLabel3D, HLine3D, VLine3D, Panel3D, PushButton3D and ToggleButton3D.

Forgot to mention in the previous post - I have given up any notion of maintaining version numbers, so newer versions of any component will still read as Version 1.0 - sorry if this causes any inconvenience.

peppermint · 31 May 2011

Here are some texture images I made, various wood, metal, stone, etc, which you might find useful for interface decoration. All images are 256 x 256, *.png format. Note that they are all seamless tiled images, so if you need to cover a larger expanse, you can copy/paste in you favourite graphics editor to produce a larger image size. Uploaded to RapidShare due to the file sizes. Below are the links if you are interested:

Had another go at making Moog-style animated knobs; here's what the result looks like:

All knobs with scales are additionally rendered with the scales in black, for use on a light background. Uploaded to RapidShare, again due to the file size; here's the link:

Glad to know it's been of help! I know it's not funny if you lose something that represents hours of painstaking work, or a moment of inspiration that cannot be repeated, so I made this, basically in anticipation of needing it myself someday, but I thought I would upload it for others to use as well.

Some rocker switches; the screenshot shows both on and off states:

Hi loopey, I'm not sure why there is a problem downloading the moog knobs; maybe it's something to do with RapidShare. If you know of another free file host that accepts large files, I will happily upload them there, if that might solve the problem...

EDIT Just uploaded to MediaFire; Try this link and see if you get the file:

Moog Knobs Reinvented - Animation strips only, so you can load them into the knob control of your choice. Now available in both metal and plastic cap versions, with a variety of cap colours. Each pack contains all colours available for the designated knob and cap type (8 colours for the plastic capped; 14 colours for the metal capped), and scales in both black and white for those knobs having scales. Refer to the screenshots below for the knob types and colour variations available. Each pack also contains a simple readme file stating the cell count and dimensions for the knobs in that pack. All files hosted on MediaFire (no 5-minute wait to download). Note that these files are ZIP archives, so you will need to unzip them after you download them.

Here are the links (hope I didn't make any mistakes!)

Enhanced Animated Knobs/Sliders: Added label/readout combinations to the horizontal sliders. A modification means that you can now use any font size and the label/readout text will not be cropped vertically. All knobs/sliders with text now have a Margin property which can be used to fine-tune the vertical position of the text elements.

Should have placed these in the previous post; a pack of slider knobs with caps and colours to match the animated moog knobs:

Here's another 3D component - ModuleBox3D. Works like the GroupToggle3D and the GroupSwitch3D, but displays just a single module in its view.

peppermint · 14 Jun 2011

An alternative to the earlier LCD Knobs - digits are more LCD-like and rendered in black:

EDIT: Added an LCD FLoat Label. The appearance is identical to the above LCD knobs, but displays a floating-point value connected to it's input:

Hi, i was wondering if you knew of a way to have an XY controller where the X would go thru a knob film strip and the Y would toggle between film strips.. I want to make multiple filmstrips for each oscillator shape and then have the x control phase, while y would change the shape. I say you had an XY pad made so i thought you might be the person to ask.

I say you had an XY pad made so i thought you might be the person to ask.

Hi GhostAddicts, hopefully this will be at least something like what you are looking for. Note that I dont know if this can be done with any x-y pad; I've used a modified version of my own one here. The module used to display the animations is a modified Bitmap Knob; currently this is set to display four different animation strips. I've loaded it with different coloured knob animations to demonstrate the principle. To load your own animations, open the properties panel and use the 'load animation' buttons (sorry no preview). This assumes all animation strips to be loaded will have the same cell dimensions and count. Note that the first animation is displayed when the x-y pad controller is at the bottom, and the last animation when the controller is at the top. For the x-y pad itself, if you don't want the controller to move in discreet steps on the y-axis, open the properties panel and clear the 'Steps Y' checkbox. The controller will now move smoothly, but the animation strips will transition as before. Note that you will also need to leave the Min X,Y and Max X,Y properties at their current values, otherwise the knob will not display the correct animation strips and cells. Hopefully the principle is clear enough for you to be able to increase the number of animation strips if you need more than four. Good luck 🙂

EDIT: Actually, here's a way you can do it without needing the modified x-y pad; as long as you can live without the steps on the y-axis, theoretically you can use any x-y pad. This way you can have any range of x-y values coming from the controller that suits your dsp needs, while the values fed to the Animated Knob are scaled/offset as neccessary. The point to remember is that the input X-Value must range from 0 to 1, while the input Y-Value must range from 0 to the number of animations strips - 1. (Maybe you already figured this out!)

peppermint · 18 Jun 2011

Pitch Bend and Mod Wheels. The osm contains versions both with and without the marks, and the usual variety of labels/readouts top and/or bottom; it also contains the marks as seperate images so you can position them suit your taste:

peppermint · 18 Jun 2011

Here's one I wasn't going to do, but here it is anyway - an alternative LCD Switch. Works the same as the earlier LCD Switches, but with the font to match the alternative LCD Knob and Float Label a few posts back. The reason I wasn't going to do this is because the font used has a number of shortcommings when used with text: a) the font has no lower-case character representations (so it's upper-case only); b) many of the non-alphanumeric characters (signs and symbols) are not rendered in the LCD style; and c) some of the letters are virtually indistinguishable from each other (letter A appears same as letter R), or are easily confused with numbers (letter B looks like number 8). I made these because I had a need for them myself in a situation where they would only be used with numeric captions, however if you can find a use for them, you are welcome to use them:

peppermint · 20 Jun 2011

Create your own knobs having the illustrated scales using these Knobman template files. Simply design your knob to fit over the red circle:

peppermint · 23 Jun 2011

An update to the earlier Animated Knobs - all knobs/sliders with readouts now feature a Prefix property for the readout (just above the Units property in the property panel). So if you want the readout to look something like '1/knob value', just enter the '1/' in the Prefix text box. Also the Label property has been removed from the knobs having only readouts:

peppermint · 24 Jun 2011

Made small versions of the 'reinvented' Moog knob animation strips (see screenshot below) - metal cap silver colour only this time but scales in both black and white - 53 in total, all in the one download (includes a readme file stating the cell dimensions):

Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?ed6is4kau8au6a1

Hi pall, not sure if you mean graphics or dsp when you say 'for sequencer' - if it's dsp you mean, here's something basic I've been playing around with. It's a long way of finished and I hope to add a lot more features eventually, but it was while I was making this I decided that I need smaller components for the GUI (hence the 'flood' - I post them also!). To use, connect the input to the Pitch output of the MIDI To Poly module, then connect the sequencer output either directly to the Freq input of an oscillator or indirectly through a Detuner module. The readout knobs set an offset from the keyed note up to plus or minus 13 semitones. The Frequency knob sets the rate of progression of the sequence, and the Smooth knob adjusts an effect similar to glide on the output. The LCD knob selects how many notes of the sequence are actually used - 8/16/24/32. If this is what you are looking for, feel free to modify/use it as you want.

Small Slide Switches - smaller versions of the earlier slide switches; includes both 2- and 3-state versions:

Cheers Peppermint!

I made a 104-Band Equaliser using your knobs.

It started at 88, migrated to 104 and, going to be extended to 120-bands.

I’ve also used your knobs in a design I am about to offer to the public in the coming weeks. So, all your work is not in vain. 🙂

Wow! Nice to see the stuff I've made being used in something. Thanks for posting! Hope it goes well 😀

Another revision to the Animated Knobs - added two inputs - Random and Reset. The Random input sets the knob to a random value each time a trigger is received, while the Reset input restores the knob to the Default value, as defined in the Properties panel:

peppermint · 28 Jun 2011

Added a Random input to all the LCD Knobs and Switches, both those from the original GUI Kit and the newer alternative versions. This input sets the knob/switch to a random value each time a trigger is received:

peppermint · 28 Jun 2011

Patch Bay (cordless). Inputs are rows - top to bottom; outputs are columns - left to right. Click on a socket to toggle a connection between the input at that row to the output at that column - a plug will appear inserted in the socket when the connection is made. Note that I'm not 100% certain about this one yet, as I don't have anything of sufficient complexity to give it a full test with. I have tried it with just a couple of inputs and outputs and it appeared to behave as expected. Note also that only blue coloured plugs have been used at the moment to indicate a connection; I'm uploading images for plugs of other colours seperately (see the zip file); if you go into the module, you will find modified versions of the stock Switch module where you can load these images if you want to.

philter5 · 1 Jul 2011

wow, tons of great gui stuff, peppermint. respect! i like the patch bay example, i made something similar a while ago but your version is definitely better! here is the version that i´ve used e.g. in my midi matrix, a real messy schematic compared to yours...

peppermint · 1 Jul 2011

Hi philter5, I took a look at your patch bay and it doesn't look a lot different to my first attempt - it's not easy to make it neat with that many connections - and I wouldn't say mine is neat, more like organized chaos! (Good idea using the right-mouse click to disconnect, btw). I've been trying to find a way to do patching for modular synths that doesn't rely on a matrix of any kind, and here's what I came up with. The screenshot shows a modified version of the example synth; the envelope shapers have an additional component which looks like a socket; this is used to select the input source (one of the four oscillators, or nothing). These components are a modification to the stock Selector, and will display a dropdown menu listing the available sources when clicked with the right mouse button. When connected to a source, the socket appears to have a plug inserted. If you look inside the schematic I've posted, you will see how it works. Each of the four oscillator outputs are terminated with a named wireless link. Each of these individual outputs are picked up inside the module named 'Broadcast' and combined into a single Bus signal, which is then re-transmitted through a single wireless output. Inside the envelope shapers, the Patch Selector component uses the Bus Extract primitive to extract the signal from the source selected. As far as I know, there is one drawback to this system, which is that all source modules connected in this way will be running continuously, since they are never truly 'disconnected' (a phenomenon discussed elsewhere on the forum).

I've uploaded the Patch Selector components used in this example in case anyone is interested in using this system for patching, you can have the selectors available in the usual variety of colours(!). The schematic also contains an additional version of the selector which functions also as an animated knob. The ideaa of this is that you can feed the stream extracted by the selector through a VCA and use the value from the knob to control the amplitude of the signal. Note that the knob value is adjusted using the left mouse button.

Animated Knobs - maintenance update. Fixed a problem which was causing knob animations with fine detail to appear slightly blurred or out of focus when displayed in some of the knob controls. Animations should now appear equally clear regardless of which knob control they are loaded into. Note that this update contains only the knob controls, since the sliders were not affected by this issue:

Oh, took me while to figure out that you are emulating a patch bay with terminating plugs; here is a side view:

peppermint, you have some neat stuff here, but I have no way of knowing what is what version etc. I am confused what is what on my HD now... Could you take down superseded versions, from now on have version numbers on the filename/in the OSM, & perhaps just have 1 mega-pack & just upload diffs for updates please? 7zip tends to compress a bit better, though with aggressive PNGs I don't think you'll save much. TIA

Hi infuzion; yeah, it is a bit of a mess, I can't deny that, esp. re the version number thing - I've confused myself on more than one occasion (I'm not much used to posting stuff on forums, so probably made a bit of a hash of it). Anyway, I'll try and get it sorted out at some point, but it probably won't be before next week.
