I got used to it after you added the tabs. It worked fine for me .The clickontheinterfacetogettothenextpage was a bit much. Lately i think it has become slightly worse actually with some 3d stuff in there. Have'nt tried it much lately though.

- dropbox for program name allows you to select the program from a listbox
- small improvements to structure of default gui's code and the gui libraries (if anyone is using them, contact me for the updated version)
- minor changes to the look of the gui
- fixed dropbox on control page for glide mode

i've finally invented a way to implement the 'event routing'. the next release will contain that.

Actually I forgot about your synth.
I've just tried the last version (I hadn't since a loooonnnggg time)
It sure improved a lot and I really think you have a winner.
Sounds fat and seems very stable!

Congrat!

I quite like it I'm a great fan of "medical" 2D interfaces, I HATE those fake 3D GUIs with shadows and reflections and a picture of a synth with screws and wood grain PLEASE! So last Millennium...

However I think it's much easier to get filter & envelopes "just right" with real knobs or sliders. Also that way you can adjust 2 parameters at the time, with 2 hands. A mouse is not that great, and not that fast either.

Nocturn mapping for whoever wants it - feel free to use/change as you like:

Personally, the only thing that makes things confusing is displaying information in the same 3-d button format as the controls. Keeping everything else and keeping only buttons/controls with the 3-d button look helps greatly. Also, it shouldn't be too much work for you to change the current GUI with this simple change, and make everything much more usable.

I've included an example picture to help explain what I'm trying to say.

I don't know if it will or not either..... With that in mind, I offered a simple (I believe) change that could really improve the current GUI.

do you guys realize the gui is open source and anybody can edit it or create their own?

http://xhip.cjb.net/xhip/releases/0/6/1 ... attext.png
http://xhip.cjb.net/xhip/releases/0/6/1 ... xt.xhipgui

add xhip.ini next to your xhip dll and add a single line like:

c:/vst/xhip/standard_flattext.xhipgui

you can also add a second line for the path to the default bank if you want, in that case like:

c:/vst/xhip/standard_flattext.xhipgui
c:/vst/xhip/default.adxb

make sure you add a <CR> after the last line too, it's good to get into the habit of that.

if anybody wants the source to edit the gui themselves just ask. you need to install mingw and make also if you want the process to be reasonably easy. (msvc will also work, but it's a pain in the ass)

edit: (the "xhipgui development bits" updated version is here: http://xhip.cjb.net/xhip/releases/0/6/16/xgdb_v2.zip )

editedit: "well, i'm still waiting for the gsoto gui, acid ... will it ever happen?"

gsoto is working on it, he's a very busy guy. that combined with me being a lazy SOB makes it tough to give any prediction for when it might be available. there is another guy who wanted to work on gsoto's design a while back also and he hasn't gotten back with anything yet. gsoto was wanting to cooperate with him on it.

anyone, really, ANYONE can edit the existing guis or create their own. you can use any type of code, vstgui, my code, or absolutely anything. you can even make the gui a console where you type in "cutoff = 5000" or something. ANYTHING. so there is no reason to bug me anymore

edit: typo'd "bug"

Seriously though...this is still one the fattest sounding virtual synths out there to my ears.
But the interface is slow and slightly tedious to work with.

Still a

all round

Thanks Acidose! I don't know how to do GUIs, but that little change makes things more readable. I'll try it out.
