Hey to you all, I'm new here - so forgive me if it sounds foolish... how can i make "KEYS" to a synth? I want to make a "Piano-like-keys" that you can press them with the mouse, also shaded them when played, and of course while playing on real midi-keybord. also - how can i make a PITCH/MODULATION WHEEL that roll nice (with shades and so...)

thanks!

Best bet for doing your pitch and mod wheels would be to use the bitmap knob module, and then use the free KnobMan program to construct the animation frames for the bitmap. Here's a link to the KnobMan download... http://www.g200kg.com/en/software/knobman.html This makes designing knobs and faders so much easier than anything else as it handles the lighting effects really intelligently.

Nippy Baynes made a nice pitch wheel long time ago, search "pitchbend" and you'll find it... ...or wait for my update which is on the way then...

WOW... I don't recall ever seeing this keyboard and it seems to have some major improvements over mine.

It needs the correction module for keyboards that use Vel=0 for note off but otherwise seems to work well.

Was there a thread on this?

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

    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.
