As part of my Dark Moon vsti (posted in the Examples section of the forum), I wanted to create a xy pad to use as a 4 x 4 mixer for the oscillators but also animate to selectively mix oscillators. I switched the xy pad with the one from oddson that allowed using a bitmap image for the dot. I created a spherical dot in knobman to give it a more 3D look. However, when moving the dot in the xy pad, the dot loses its spherical look (edges are flat) and is most noticeable when running the animations (circle, spiral, etc). I have tried several dot sizes thinking maybe it had something to do with the size of the grid and the redrawing of the bitmap as it moved.
Is this a redraw problem? Or a problem with the dot bitmap? Is there an easy way to fix this or do I need to use newer modules? I am using SynthMaker CM.
osm and pic attached.

SM's anti-aliasing sometimes flattens the edges like this when bitmaps go right up to the edge of their 'box', and then get drawn at positions 'in-between' whole pixels. I would try re-making your bitmap so that it has a 1pixel border of transparent pixels. - that usually works to let the anti-aliasing have a bit of 'breathing space' to work properly.

That is what I had done.
I don't remember leaking my XYPad to the public...

It's a WikiLeak!

Haha!

Sorry infuzion for not giving you credit for the xy pad (Angular Momentum as well, already mentioned Oddson), hope it is OK to use since it was on the wiki.
Thanks trogluddite for the help. I will try it out.
