This actually is the living proof that just like any other programming language there are multiple ways of doing things, Turns out this was one of the wrong ways but was still an interesting project, Its a mess because theres not much point taking it further really, The technique used could be used to create the illusion of LED indicators around a knob and so on, I'm going to try this same project again but using the less than on the alpha channel instead of color, This is also a very easy way to create Tracktion style sliders. If you create two layers instead of three and then move the lower layer up to slightly offset against the original but keep all the settings the same you would be able to achieve tracktions blue indicator bar (Go try Tracktion if you dont understand). Using a version of the afore mentioned technique combined with the less than on the alpha instead of color would perhaps make the VU more accurate aswell.

IF YOU WANT A MUCH MORE ACCURATE AND CORRECT IMPLEMENTATION OF A VU PLEASE CHECK THE FORUM FOR UNKs TWO DIFFERENT (AND VERY GOOD) VUs.

Credits Jorge for making it FRESH Unkargherth for pointing out downfalls and creating some proper working VUs 🙂

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    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.
