I'm working on a new set of sliders that will be none rectangular so to speak. How do I fill an skewered rectangle?

skewed.

IE: a trapezoid

You could do the fill by yourself! See this example: Filled Rectangle Using Gradient Fill (made before the gradient fill modules have been introduced). Instead of rectangles you could basically use any shape.

Heh, yes. 'Skewered' would be a rectangle on a stick. 'Skewed' was translated to me as an arbitrary verb for 'somehow modified', so I thought I better ask what he wants 🙂

fill it as a normal rectangle, then Rotate it. (hint, type Rotate in the search in SM's toolbar)

... but it's not just a rotated rectangle - it is "skewed" as shown in jobro's picture.

Well, technically, they are Parellelograms. But I insist, they are very easy to make

    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.
