Hi. Give your opinion on my new synth in development. The front side:
And the rear side:
I will work more for the GUI, just a little preview!
Dominus VSTi Alpha 03 preview GUI
From the original SynthMaker forum (2004–2014), with its members’ names and dates.

Just some quick comments, hope you find them useful:
For the "VST is a trademark of....." part, maybe you could use the graphics provided by Steinberg itself for such purposes - it would look better. IMHO.
And the MIDI connectors (the ones on the rear side) are wrong - you´ve drawn XLR connectors, not DIN5.

Nice texture,perhaps a little smaller scales? Maybe just tone down the amount of space used by adornments if you like, And perchance knobs a little bigger. Good start, show it us as you progress, would be curious to see 🙂

Tanks! I will follow your suggestion... Oh damn i added XLR connectors! I've dont see the pins. I searched but i found images from audio cards, pc and synthsizers too little for having cool connector.. I will search for more.. I will also share this kind of stuff. Knobs are little for now since synth features are not complete ad the moments. So i will add maybe a arp and trance gate when i manage to create them. Then maybe i will change if they are small too...

hey here's a D IN5 Connector I made in photoshop.

EDIT: I've re-adjusted the pins as they weren't in place properly.

I know you already have an AC Input but thought I'd make another one in photoshop 😀

..oh' it has a mini USB connector. But does the instrument come with signed drivers for 64 bit windows?
But joking aside, for my personal taste the GUI has too much wasted space. The blue-ish plastic knobs don't fit the metal style. And since you are keen on representing real hardware: the step lfo is lost on the surface and maybe could be put into a fake lcd screen, and real hardware doesn't have selector buttons, maybe replace them with radio buttons or dials.

My ispiration was on Rob Papen predator synths. If you look at albino III has this "hardware" style for the rear. Also if he had a digital style UI. I can't use radio buttons for lfo or free env selection since i have too much connections for them, maybe i can put a screen.. a matrix.

Good! i had to learn from you. Maybe wen can collab when synth engine is done. If you want i will send you the already done PSD files and Knobs (if you like) to make a prototype. A feature i would add is a skin changer. Im not sure of this but i think that we can change not only the images of background and elements but also the knob png. rigth?
