GUI design: adventures in Blender.

Hi everyone!

I've started experimenting with Blender. I'm trying to rebuild a 2D design i made into 3D. The process is already well underway because i waited for the new forum to launch before starting a thread.

The "original":

Some working shots of the 3D version (work in progress, obviously):

The idea is to, when everything is built up, render each panel element separately so that what you will see in Reaktor is a top view like this, with all the controls in perspective view.

Like so:

Still plenty of work to do on this before i can start to try rendering and compositing, but so far it's going pretty good.

I don't have many details right now, and i'm learning as i go, but more later.

Feel free to ask me anything.

Greets,

Working on a simple little filter box.

I need an LP filter / LFO combo and my DAW doesn't come with one.

If you want it, i'll upload it to the UL when i'm done.

That's really nice man. Are you going to use the factory shelving filter? If so, let me know, I think they set the cut off frequency where the shelving actually bottoms out. So the deeper the cut causes the start of the cut to go downward in frequency for a low pass. Look at my post ensemble, you can see it clear as a bell. Unless I did something wrong, but I don't think so. Here's the link. https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/7925/something-is-screwy-with-the-librarys-shelving-filter#latest

ICYMI: Tempo sync added to all three LFO's in the latest version of CRUDE.

Click the indicator LED of each LFO to activate/deactivate tempo sync.

Started designing the GUI for Dowager 3.0.

It will be a simple, all-standard components, four oscillator synth.

This prelim version of Dowager 3.0 will be a very basic, four oscillator, synth. I might start a thread about modernizing the sound after the initial version is uploaded. Not sure yet.

Back to this one.

Getting closer to a readable GUI by getting rid of the (unused) memory banks section, changing the physical dimensions of the whole synth, and resizing the GUI.

This is the first version i made. An accurate copy of a real life Juno 60.

This is what i'm working on now. It's not an accurate representation of a Roland Juno 60, but at least it's a bit more clear and readable.

Mod section added.

Does anybody know why Mouse Area modules ignore mouse button clicks when they are less than, say, half a second apart?

When i apply mouse clicks in rapid succession it doesn't transmit half of them. This is very annoying.

Is the Mouse Area module just a POS, or is there an other reason for this?

I'm trying to build a keyboard that is playable with LMB clicks, but if it's not going to work half the time, i might as well not bother.

The rapid mouse click events that you are missing are being sent from the ‘Db’ (double-click) port.

Connect the ‘BL’ port and the ‘Db’ ports together using a ‘Merge’ module and then use that for your mouse button clicks source, then you won’t be missing any clicks.
