Transparency level in Group Adornments

In the example synth in SM 095m, the group adornments (e,g for the Amp Env etc.) have a transparent rectangle around the knobs.

How can I change the transparency level of this rectangle to more or less solid and how can I substitute other graphics as a group adornment background?

Thanks. 🙂

Hi db,

To change the transparency level for the group adornment rectangle go inside the group adornment module and find the String data component attached to the Colour input of the FRRect component. This is a shorthand way of supplying a colour. The format is (a:r:g:b) where a is the transparency level and r,b, and g are the red, green and blue components of the colour. All values run from 0 to 255 so 255 wpuld give you a solid colour.

If you wanted to use a bitmap instead of a rectangle then take the innerds of the Bitmap module and rework them. Sorry - bit short on time, I'll try to expand on this later.

Thanks, Malc, just what I needed.

I know I tried this last night, and I swear nothing happened. That's what I get for working when too tired to think straight! 😉

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
