Wow, that was unexpected! Highlife is already excellent so it will be interesting to see where it goes from here.

just my two Euro cents ..

If there currently is no mention of him in the docs, then yes that does seem like it would be appropriate.

A very generous move and one that's appreciated here - I love to dabble with this sort of thing

Cheers,

i can help out with some ideas/testing/design if needed.

this is a red letter day.

I do like the original HighLife GUI but HighLife with a grymmjack GUI would be

This is great news. Now I know literally nothing about coding, but I'll be happy to test things! Even though I'm sure everyone will get to test. But still I'm open to helping whenever I can.

If only Zaf could(providing he's legaly able to and well, maybe just willing to) do the same for Aodix so this absolutely fantastic piece of software can evolve.......

Thank you. That is very clear, whereas the examples and definitions of the BSD license I found elsewhere were written in legalese, that's why I had to ask.

This is a great thing that you are doing, George, and I can't wait to see all the creativity that will stem from this. Between this and the release of Short Circuit as freeware, what a great time to be a sample user, and for sample developers, a challenging opportunity to get content out for musicians using these amazing tools.

It is is him who have wrote the code anyway , "open source" doesn't mean "forget about History ".
No Arguru , no Highlife code ever ...What do you don't understand about this , the code didn't come from the sky or something ...
In every open source project there is the name of the guy who has started it .Period.

I do like the original HighLife GUI but HighLife with a grymmjack GUI would be

here are a bunch of ideas for possible improvements:

full skin engine with RGBA png support
skin engine should support custom colors for values/readouts
polyphony governor (voice limit)
vst plugin browser (like library browser)
visual graphs for envelopes
bigger click targets for prev/next buttons up/down buttons
midi learn for key range parameters
visual key mapper/zone mapper
double click a control to enter a text value
alt click a control to reset to default value
double click digit values for manual entry mode
undo/redo for sample editor
drag/drop samples into sample editor
drag/drop fxp onto plug to load preset/program
drag/drop samples from sample editor to host
button: explore library (opens file explorer to library)
customizable colors for sample editor: background, waveform, start position marker, end position marker, cue marker
better filters
distortion effect
eq effect

No problems.

So @george:
what about putting Argu on the sourceforge page?
Thanks

Chris Walton · Post by **Chris Walton** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 8:52 am

Is there a known fxp/fxb loading bug? Just talked to somebody whose hosts crash when trying to do so ... I should be able to get on that tuesday (you caught me on a busy weekend

) but it'd be nice to know if anybody else knows about this.

...george?

Hi grymmjack, you're welcome to join. Please make a Source Forge account and PM your UNIX name. I will add you to the team. Once you are with us you will be able to submit feature requests to the tracker located at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=209777

I think the GUI should be put on hold right now. Grymmjack is a very skilled GUI designed although there should be more priority in the audio engine.

Any other people willing to test or contribute, please do a Source Forge account and PM me or to Chris the UNIX name so we can propery add to the project as tester, developer, etc.

Yes, his name will appear in the readme files, pointing to Image Line Arguru's tribute page as soon as possible. Now that HighLife is open source, Image Line can check if there is any code used in Direct Wave from it and comply with the BSD license.

Firstly, any possible bug should be submitted to the tracker http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=209777 and we will see what we can do. I have been getting no host crash in all this time and I suspect it is not a HighLife issue at all. I can say some host crashed because they couldn't handle a big sized FXP. There's probably more info about it searching at KVR.
