All MeldaProduction plugins have been updated to 8.00 !!! FREE Update!

[MeldaProduction]

Yeah, let's be positive!

Now about the "grid" - there were so many changes in the history, that I have no idea, what is this one . Anyway I'm afraid you cannot really change these things in the style editor, well partly. Here's the thing - the engine is made, so that it is easy for the user the change the color, using just 4 colors. But of course lots of it cannot be changed then. The engine is choosing "ideal" colors whenever needed, so if the background is dark, it uses white for front for example.

Yes I'm offering to be positive and help. That's why I don't understand your latest PM

Anyway it was at least in the past possible to change the grid colors in MReverb:


codec_spurt helped me achieve this but to be honest it's been so long I don't remember how. Hopefully he will remember.
My point is that these elements need to be included in the skinning system if it's going to be considered a truly full skinning system. The Style editor is a brilliant tool but it should be able to handle all the parts of the GUI in order to achieve it's full potential.

I'm not criticizing I'm just giving my opinion and advice as a user........please take it in the helpful spirit it was intended...

Hi Melda, Vojtech.

Thanks for the amazing job you are doing! Best plugins ever. Always my GOTO .
Very nice new view and handling of the GUI.

But here is a problem. Maybe it's not exactly to be addressed to you, but anyway, if you have any solutions, please come up with them.

The plugins crash as wrapped versions to RTAS in Protools with this new update! But it must be said : They were wrapped with FXpansion Vst To Rtas Adapter V2.11 .

I use Windows 7 64bit and ProTools 8.0.5. I use the Windows32bit version of your plugins because the 64bit version will not do a thing in Vst To Rtas Adapter V2.11.

Thanks again.
Frank

Teksonik:
Teksonik, I'm quite confused with the PM system here on KVR, so I hope I didn't really respond to something else (I never know which message is that, it's just so weird... ), if so then sorry.

Anyway these elements just cannot be skinned particularly. These are hardcoded in the plugins - can you imagine the style editor would define every line in every plugin? Did you see how many graphs and editors are there? It would be impossible. Now it is perfect. It doesn't let you do these things, but it selects optimum colors automatically - well, there will always be people who won't like it, but some compromises just need to be done for the sake of making the styling easy-to-use.

BUT to let you understand the process of choosing the color - the grid in MReverb now simply uses "green" color, which IS predefined. So in fact you can change it in the style editor! But it will change all other graphs using color "green". In most graphs the black/white is used, and that's defined by one of the 4 colors you can select directly in the style settings in each plugin. It can invert its brightness if it is on a background, where it wouldn't be visible. Note that there are color on which no color is actually visible! Red for example, you can write black or white on red background, neither will be easy to read.


room732:
Aaah, that's too bad, I'd say it's because the plugins now have sidechain, so there may be some confusion in the wrapper. Please let FXpansion know, I can do it myself, but I don't even have a way to check this, ProTools are not officially supported. I'd like to develop AAX in the near future, so we'll see how that will go.

Teksonik is a genuine fan of your plugins. He has spent a lot of time redesigning your guis and he gives to the community with other guis he has done for other vsts. I believe you owe him an apology. He has an opinion and it is his right to voice it without being insulted.

Thank you so much for the kind words codec_spurt. I am a genuine fan of Meldaprodctions plugins it's just some of the color schemes shown lately have been too........over the top shall we say. Perhaps I was too vociferous in relaying my opinion of them. But the good thing its they can be toned down to suite the more conservative taste.

Anyway let's turn it into something positive and work together and see if we can make some new guis and/or color schemes. I know you kindly helped me remove the green grid in older versions of MReverb so if we can figure out how to do that again it would be great. I have the new style editor now it's just a matter of finding the time to learn how it works.........

That sounds great!

I didn't know the new style editor had been released. That is great news. I will be sure to check it out toot f suite.

As I understand it Tek. And you know we to'd and fro'd a lot on this, what it basically came down to was the fact that the old gui developer was a serious hack. It was a wonder it worked at all!

Obviously Vojtech understood it, but..

The only problem with the black/green problem was that it wasn't a normal kind of gui colour. It was a place holder/alpha kind of colour. He assumed there would be no other lime green in his guis. Happy days!

It only took me two days to debug. But f**k, that lime green shit had to go. Don't tell me he has reintroduced it?

Lordy.

Hopefully no one is taking anything too seriously here. I don't have a lot of time to spend on this. And I don't check email anymore, so that is a hard way to reach me.

We can sort this out.

I actually think the new gui improvements are a major step forward.

I will test them on my main DAW which has the horsepower to handle stuff. But the old system I worked on was crippled. Not inefficient, but BROKEN. Not good.

And btw, Turd Brown, with Lime Green Underpants is not a colour scheme, it is an aesthetic accident waiting to happen. Hopefully we have some translation problems here. Sometimes it is good not to speak the native language. It's late.

[codec_spurt]

Vojtech.

PM me and Tek the latest version of the Gui Developer or whatever you call it.

We will work amongst ourselves and come up with some variations that you will be free to use. No charge. No obligation. If you do not like them, then don't use them.

If you do like them, you can have them and include them as options in your next install.

Sound fair?

We will show you what our vision is. In fact, me and Tek have quite different tastes, as was shown last time by working together. But we came to a gentleman's agreement.

Let's do the same.

Is that not the same as the old Style Editor? Unless I got something wrong it sounds like the same behaviour.

The "v8" Style Editor is very similar to the old one. Just had a look at MReverb, yes the green is there on the positioning graph (along with some scary looking Mekon dude). Here it is not lime-green here, but a darker green. AS i am using green for the "highlight" colour it looks OK for me.

Extremely versatile and (now ) BEAUTIFUL GUI!!!


Congratulations with an amazing work on the design of the GUI. I see it like this: Melda stays Melda with scientific clean clear visual design which relates to FACTUAL change of sound. (And now even improved) Besides this you have the possibility of making your own preferable perfect look within this frame. (As mine above. Love it.)

About the malfunction in the FXpansion VST to RTAS Wrapper:

Hi Vojtech. WT...
For some reason now after trying again, There seem to be no problems at all! All work just Don't know what caused the crashes first. But I'm a happy man in Melda (RTAS) Heaven now.
Thanks!

[MeldaProduction]

Thank you!

I finally reverted back to the 7 Version as I can't look at and work with these new guis...

I finally reverted back to the 7 Version as I can't look at and work with these new guis...

After a bit of colour tuning and and a "miminal" (geddit? ) amount of editing with the Style Editor I have some styles that I am very happy with.

Perhaps you could indicate which specific parts of the v8 GUis / styles you find difficult to work with? Others may then be able to suggest alternatives or Vojtech can consider your comments.

For example, select the v7 Style and, in the Colour Settings, replace the "Titles and Border" colour by a darker version of the "Highlights" colour

Ehem... I am back with the same bug(?) that I had some weeks ago. It's only MRhythmizer now. If I go into settings, set automation CPU protection to low and disable high quality interpolation, then go to "set default settings", close the plugin, open a new instance, the settings I just saved are lost and the old defaults are enabled (automation protection medium and high quality interpolation activated).

No is it me or is it (this time) the plugin? Only MRhythmizer affected, storing settings works for all others (as far as I can tell now).

[MeldaProduction]

I just checked with MRhythmizer 8.02 on Win 7 64 and it seems fine. Anyway please send me your info and your "GlobalConfiguration.xml" to info@meldaproduction.com . You can find the file here:
