Hi graphics gurus,

I'm wondering how I would go about creating a (fairly) simple shape like the one attached, using SM? Is it too much hassle? Would I be better off making it in photoshop? It's just that I have several modules that are simple rectangles, that use SM graphics with a transparent overlay on top of the main background. There's just one or two modules that I would like to be a little more complex like the shape attached, and I don't want to have to make 20 different sized rectangles in photoshop to match colours etc... I'd rather do them all in SM if I can...

Cheers

Thanks for the help Andrew, but I forgot to mention in my last post - the main background in my synth is a textured .bmp, so your example wouldn't work as it wouldn't show the background through the ellipse... sorry!

Cheers,

Mike

Mmm, then you're going to have to do it in Photoshop, Knobman or something!

    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.
