I feel the same way about developers, I've seen some bad behaviour from the guy who made Vangard and it put me off buying the product. Thing with AQ though is I got to know him before all hell broke loose and found him to be rather friendly and a very passionate about his unique synth vision. I think the forum Devs could of done a better job of moderating the whole debacle and alienated a very talented developer. Shame he couldn't of left AD alone as it has done his reputation a lot of harm.

It's probably my fault, but I can't seem to figure out how to add the limeflavour gui to xhip?

I'm on Reaper btw.

I also tried to look back a couple of pages to see if it was explained somewhere but my connection really sucks today.

I noticed there are a few people working on a GUI for XHip... How exactly is this working? Is there a public interface for the GUI implementation? I know nothing about DSP but I can do some coding, and wouldn't mind having a go at it if possible.

89> you need to rename the limeflavour2.xhipgui to default.xhipgui otherwise xhip won't recognise the new skin. I got this skin to work on my desktop pc with XP but I cannot get it to work at all on my laptop with Vista on it,
tried with Reaper and Chainer...

http://xhip.cjb.net/temp/public/ - there's alot of stuff here, kind unsorted.

the gui stuff is still not 100% flawless. it should work fine no matter what type of system it's running on unless there is some sort of a bug...

you can also create a file called "xhip.ini" with the path to the gui module on the first line, like:

Code: Select all

c:/my path to/vst plugins/xhip/limeflavour2.xhipgui

in order to write gui plugins you can start by reading what is available on http://xhip.cjb.net/

check the "xgdb" section and the "releases" sections.

an incomplete version of xhip is available here http://xhip.cjb.net/temp/public/adxhipwip.dll
(this version doesn't save patches correctly and might have a few small bugs)

aciddose, i'm still having trouble with the compiling of the skins but maybe it's better to talk this out on msn(or similar) instead on the forums?

aciddose · Post by **aciddose** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 1:00 pm

it might be,

by the way i've located the source for fontselect in my backups,
http://xhip.cjb.net/xhip/xgdb/fontselect_src.zip
http://xhip.cjb.net/xhip/xgdb/fontselect.exe

i've rewritten it to be smaller and remove the window used in the previous version. i'll need to make it automatically generate the font source files at some point and perhaps i'll implement it into the gui library in the future. the reason i use bitmaps is that not everybody will have the same anti-aliasing settings, font size settings or font files available so really it's probably better to just keep things with the bitmap fonts as they are. i'll want to implement more parameters to allow italics to work correctly, though.

for anyone doing gui development, the xgdb library has be updated:
http://xhip.cjb.net/xhip/xgdb/xgdb_v5.zip

the limeflavour2 gui source is also updated:
http://xhip.cjb.net/xhip/releases/xhipg ... ur2src.zip

aciddose, I'm glad we sorted that out. I've played around abit and made 3 different colorschemes. These a fairly simple variations, I have not yet grasped everything in the sources to make anything advanced...
http://xhip.cjb.net/temp/public/lf_rasp ... lt.xhipgui - pink + yellow
http://xhip.cjb.net/temp/public/lf_blue ... lt.xhipgui - blue + orange
http://xhip.cjb.net/temp/public/lf_peac ... lt.xhipgui - beige + beige

The skins I could arrange in a zip but the synth... Dunno if i'm allowed to do that?

AD, I simply adore your synth. Keep doing the brilliant work no matter the GUI. Sounds awesome. So alive I cannot believe it's coming from the bloody PC

.

Thank you for your time doing it! And thank you for doing it your way which is refreshing in these massively idiotic times of bigger=better.

I still can't believe it's freeware. I can't compare it to any other freeware synths out there, ok maybe Atlantis, and maybe Helix... but Xhip has a magic of it's own... I feel like tweaking me old mate Juno-60 while tweaking Xhip, dunno why... like the sound is somewhat similar to it? I liked it's simplicity and straight-forward sound. I could always get what I want with it, as I can with Xhip. Great VA synth, man.

Cheers!

XHip--Please finish your synth!!
