Is it possible to do a user-definable color in SE, like Daichi's Synth1 has?

I think the yellow and black GUI looks great. It's the same colours as my motorbike. Looking forward very much to the release.

I'll be there

well, it was worth a try
to me, preset compatibility of too much importance, it is a new synth after all.
maybe the new gui is easier to use, but the old one was easier to the eyes.
anyway, i do not want to play smart here, take the development course you feel comfortable with, and we hope to see the final product soon!




huh? i am aware of the level control, but i haven't seen the waveform selector nor the speed slider for the lfo. forgive me for being ignorant, but i really cannot see it.



well if it is clearer and more vibrant, the better
good luck with the project, as you can see there is quite a lot of people eagerly awaiting the result.

No more CPU issues you say?

Then I'm looking forward as hell, becouse when I had just singlecore PC, REZ was one of my first "wtf is synthesis" brothers! Still love it, but with that CoreDuo i'm not able to use it fully. But Whole new Rez? Whoa!

To a certain extent, you can add images in SE that can be tinted. However, the interface for that wouldn't be the greatest, and I think the settings would be tied to each preset (or if set to ignore program change, perhaps not saved at all). I may be wrong about that, but in any case, I just don't think the UI can be up to the job for that sort of task and I'd rather not include a feature if it means implementing it badly.



Glad at least a few people other than me like it.


Ah, I understand what you mean. I've done things a little differently this time, making use of a newer control option in SE which eliminates the need for forward/backward buttons.

- Slider controls the level.
- Click on the waveform text display to select one from a list.
- Click on the speed text display to select on from a list.

Here is a demo of some of the early test presets.

Some nice ones in there.

Thanks

Sounds good!

About the gui. It looks clean, very reminiscent of the M-Theory gui. But why didn't you choose for this one to make it more ehh.. square by making it less wide and increase hight by putting it into more rows from top to bottom? If you know what I mean?

Making better use of screen space so that the knobs and sliders, etc. can be made a little bigger

And when I think of Rez then I think of blue to be honest, but that's just me

I'm looking forward to the final version

copper?

Meaning of "Rez"
Hungarian name
In Hungarian, the name Rez means- copper haired. The name Rez orginated as an Hungarian name. The name Rez is most often used as a girl name or female name.

Personally, I didn't like the look or workflow of stacking the controls for a square layout. Also, when I am working in a sequencer and have the GUI open, I prefer to have less vertical space blocked.



Honestly, I prefer more compact controls. I realize not everyone agrees with my design choices, but my inspiration for my plug-ins has always been based on what I feel would make for a good addition to my collection, and how I would like it to look/function.



The GUI for v1 was red. I really did like the blue GUI, but I figured if I was changing everything else, then perhaps I should try for a new color too.



That could be tricky. Without the metallic feel, its easy for that to look more brown/rusted than copper. So I might have to go more photo-realistic to make copper work.



Interesting, I didn't know that. The source of my initial inspiration for Rez was the high resonance filter sound in Underworld's song, Rez. I didn't really achieve that sound, but I certainly liked what I ended up with.

Orange is a good colour, like the Waldorf

resonator
resin

violin wood brownish and black

Or yellow, like the original Waldorf Q.
