Hey folks, I am new to this community (even though I'm fairly familiar with SM) and thought it was time to post something... 🙂 I needed a Color 2 HSL (Hue, Saturation, Color) converter and vice versa so I searched the forums and all I could find were some dead links. So I created my own, and they work fine, however I have a question. Regarding the scale to use, what would you find most useful to work with? The conical scale (Hue is in degrees [0-360), Sat and Lightness go from 0 to 1, everything is floating point), or the MS Windows scale (Hue goes from [0-239], Sat and Lightness range in [0-240], everything is an integer). Maybe a different scale? Any input would be appreciated!!! Thank you. 😀

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    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.
