Hi, Which is the easiest way to add a simpe label on a gui? i am getting mad figuring it out...please don't kill me I know that the answer is probably VERYsimple.... 😊
Add a label....please don't kill me....
From the original SynthMaker forum (2004–2014), with its members’ names and dates.

Nope, its not. Or do you mean a group window? Then its simple - with a group adornment!
autodafe ·
no, i know (at least i think) how to use adornments... i simply want to add labels to the main interface, and then be able to move them around... just plain text would be ok... I examined some OSM and noticed that there are a lot of modules involved just to "write" something on the interface... isn't there a simple "label" module ??? 😠

Well, you could for example grab the label from the "Level Meter" component. Its right on the first level of the module.

Try this: OSM
it's the standard knob with knob pieces deleted and a slight change to the area info being fed to the text...

I think i will simply "photoshop" the labels on the background picture for my synth...

THIS is what I was trying to put together...I just needed some small labels for "Filter LFO", OSC LFO and the names ef the effects... too difficult to add labels, I "painted" them on the background image 😉

well, this works nice...!!! I added it to the toolbox...but why isn't a very simple label added to SM?
i will try to work on something similar!!! many thanks!

...why isn't a very simple label added to SM?
Do you mean why isn't a (more carefully considered) module like the one I just posted added to the standard toolbox? I'd say it should be...
There lots of other examples like this that could be made part of the standard release.
The envelope follower was orginally released only as part of the compressor but now it's in the standard toolbox on it's own.

I'd say it too...this is a very basic module which is really needed, I think...

Here's a slight improvement: LabelsOSM
One version takes an external string and one uses the properties interface to set the text string.
BTW- there was a label module in the standard toolbox of 0.9.4 versions of SM so I'd assume one that follows the new standard interface would be part of the version 1.0 release.

Ah, yes. That needs to go in for sure.

I meant to mention this... don't be afraid to ask what seems like a dumb question on this forum. If you get any attitude from anyone, ignore it.
Generally you won't. I've always found the people on this forum to be very patient with new users. Those who lack patience should just let it go. 😇

eh eh ...I am not afraid to ask, i simply felt that my question was maybe TOO BASIC 😉

There are some tricky concepts to grasp in SM, so even basic questions can lead to deep insights for even us old-timers 😉 I learned alot of GUI stuff way before any of the audio-processing primitives.

The other side of this is... every 'basic' question that gets asked saves me from having to ask it later. 😉 So you are doing me a big favor!
It is a helpful place. More than once I have been helped.
