I would like to consolidate your valuable feedback and suggestions on this thread as I keep working on this skin.

EDIT: Abandoned for now at least.

Just a couple of things that stick out, IMHO:

Frankly, the 'TYRELL N&' logo looks outright terrible - Photoshop Layer effect 'Glow' with the default yellow colour? Yak!

And why is the Chorus module title in lower case but a much bigger font size than the corresponding all caps title of the other modules?

Third, a deep red background to black text isn't ideal for legibility in the top simulated LCD.

All IMHO, of course…

Kind regards,

Joachim

I'm waiting for a much brighter skin vor v2.0.
The original v1.0's creme colored skin was near perfect to me.

What he said

I don't like the gray border & lines...

It;s looking like the Tone 2 Saurus now. I found out from Polly8 people don't like red LCD's. I don't like the faux wood borders either. Make it all black like the bastard child of a Moog and a Juno.

why is there a line separating the filter mode and poles?

That was a bad move at the last minute on the logo

Will update the logo and the chorus title. I couldn't dig in more to change the black text on the preset section. That is on my next to-do list.

Will see if I can come up with something better.

I have not looked at Saurus, will check. Should not be very similar. Thinking of changing the LCDs to all black with reflection. Watch out in the next update.

Genuine mistake, will fix in the next update.

Thanks everyone for your inputs. I will try and implement in the next update.

Awesome that you're spending your free time on this! (I just looked at the original v2 skin and pretended it was all a bad dream

)

Much, much better than the first skin you posted! Not a fan of the blue-ish tone, but that's a personal preference. I like the subtle use of the texture for the background. People easily over do these sort of things in Photoshop. Good job!

P.S. also not a fan of the Copperplate font for the "Tyrell" logo. It makes it look a little cheap, especially since it's a font people recognize from their system fonts. Try something like the House Industries fonts, they cost a lot, but a lot of lookalike freebies can be found on dafont.com.

This one would look great, looks a little like "Chalet" from House Industries:

Or this:
http://www.dafont.com/wonderfull.font?text=TYRELL+N6

Choosing the right font is often half the job. Atleast for me, it's not unusual for me to spend atleast 30% of a project's time on looking for "that special font". But don't tell that to the customer

Very nice version 3!

I'm not even interested in the synth, just wanted to say good work for the community.
