Hi! I found a schematic on the forum that was launched five years ago. It is a graphic ADSR made by Tention, which I made some changes. Graphic ADSR Hope you will like.

From the original SynthMaker forum (2004–2014), with its members’ names and dates.

It reminded me of some GUI elements I'd been playing around with and as you can see fits in really well
Nice work and many thanks 🙂

Hi Xtinct! I'm glad you like it, and that is useful for you. Cheers! 🙂

Hi pall so useful I made it a twin
I think I've got the preset management right, but I'm sure someone will tell me if not 😉

Hi Xtinct! Interestingly schematic. I saw the knobs no longer have wireless connection for presets, and the value management is done by Preset String primitive. I do not know how it will behave in a schematic with more parameters. It should be tried first in a simple schematic with Preset Manager, and saved presets. Cheers!

Hi yeah tried it in a simple synth and it all seems to work fine. I took the preset management away from the knobs because that way they can hold more than one value, in fact they could control a whole synth A la Blofeld. Would have been easier to have two sets of knobs and switch between them page fashion but as I said if you wanted to control a whole synth that would be a lot of pages and bigger file size plus eventually I'd like them to glide to thier settings when you switch. Would liked to have done the same thing with the graphs ie just change colour rather than switching layers but I wanted the currently selected graph to always be on top (though there maybe a work around)
I really like the idea of having a small footprint just like in the 80's when hardware synths had so many parameters they couldn't physically fit all the knobs required on a keyboard, to now with small net book screens where yes you can fit them on but can you see them clearly or touch screens where 5 decent sized knobs is preferable to a hundred packed so tightly together my fat fingers move 2 at the same time.
Still plenty of work / tidying to go, though may be slowed down as I've got a new/old analogue arriving next week so maybe distracted 😀

There's a quick way to do this using a multiplexer and tinkering with the order that you make the links...
...I find this way really handy, because the layers then can share a single MGUI and ReDraw - which cuts down on CPU load from redrawing the graphics. You could also then just use the colour change, like you suggested, instead of having loads of green triggers from switching over all those float values.

Great example Trog!
(For those who are not experts in English, what he means by "tick" is the near black band around the root of the link. Those bands signify order of execution.)

Yeah nice one Trog learned a lot about link orders relationship to layers while playing around with this and will definately be using that configuration if switching layers but I'm going to try adjusting the alphas on the colours so that it could maybe blend from one to the other though that way lies a lot of redraws 🙁 and getting them both to crossfade smoothly at the same time might be a bit much to ask of SM graphics and me so will probably end up your way. Cheers for the help 🙂
