Sytrus - a couple of requests

[woodie]

Gol/Reflex - I'm no expert at your synth, but having a blast using and learning it, so the below requests will help, at least for me, navigate around Sytrus better.

1) the indicator lights on the operators that are on/active is a faint grey color. I would like to see the those little indicator lights (or the whole button) turn into something like an ORANGE or a YELLOW instead. It doesn't have to be bright, but keep the same tone as the rest of the GUI; that way...it'll stick out like a sore thumb when it's on/active.

I find I have to keep squinting to figure out which operators are active at the top since I can hardly see the grey indicator lights on the operator buttons esp. if I'm sitting back from the monitor. Of course, one could look at the matrix and see which ones are turned on, but those indicator lights are really helpful though for quickly eyeing which operators are active.

2) same as above, but on the envelopes & sub-envelopes; right now there's no indication to which envelopes are turned on + there's way too many! So this would be a BIG HELP, especially since there are quite a number of "pages" of to go through.

Here are a couple of petty wishes off the top of my head; not a big deal, but while I'm at it, I'll throw them in.

1) Oscillator menu under Options...to be also accessible off the Right-Click menu over the oscillators. I especially like to play around with the "Randomize Waveform Settings" feature, so when on an Operator, it would be nice to have that same menu under the Right-Click of an oscillator window.

2) Clicking on the "?" at the top of Sytrus shows your "Info/About" page, but also brings up the Help file at the same time. Would be nice to just have a button that pulls up the Help file or the About page only. When checking the version number after downloading a new version of Sytrus...I just quickly want to check the new number, but have to keep closing the Help file that pops up since I don't need to see it at that time.

Even better....place the version number in a place on the main GUI to be visible at all the times. Anyway...not a big deal, but just a small wish.

Great job again on the Sytrus and glad to see the latest surge in support it's getting here at KVR.

All the best....

I'd love to see some kind of browser that popped out of the side. This would first contain a list of all operators with their child attributes (volume etc.) the next level down, and their operators (envelope, lfo etc) below that. If an operator is in use, it would be highlighted, and you could then drill down to find its active components which would also be highlighted.

The browser could also contain a library of envelopes, arps, wave forms, filter presets, fx presets etc - and obviously patches themselves.

That's quite a good idea! You mean something like the browser on Reaktor? It would be convenient to have something like that.
