i've done a vu-meter with knobman but i haven't find the way to import my striped bitmap in SM. i've tryed to modified native vu-meters without success, or either to import as animated knob but i didn't find the tip... Please heeeeelp !!!

thx and happy new year ^^

So where you at least able to load the strip in one of the existing ones here from the forum? Post an OSM maybe so we can show.

thx for your answer man 🙂

nooo this is my drama: i know how to load the strip in the animated knob module, but no way to find the same gear for vu-meter !!!

i not sure to be clear... my png strip is okay, but dunno where i can get a module to load it into... Could upload the png there, but i'm not sure of the interest...

... and i've search in the forum, but no way to find an existing module with external strip for vu-meter animation... am i blind or dumb?

lol

try the vu osm here: Horizontal VU Made Easy then on the properties page you can load your bitmap/png, alternatively you can get into the module to the strip loader. if your frame number differs, you may need to set the right dimensions on the property panel, or again inside the module.

all right !!!!

My vu is opened, with right dimensions !!! ok ! i've made a quick try with default SM synth connected with one channel of stereo clip, and it work fine, ... except with a few presets: clipping, flashing, black screen... lol heeeeem....

i'll try to modify: >frame number of the strip (actually 39) >snap (0.06 actually) .... or it'd may be a layer problem...? >step????.......... i'll find a way lol

thx for your help, i can go on !!! 🙂
