Hey guys, in my case (Synthmaster + Tranquil + OS X) the ModulatorColor ring when appliying a modulation to a knob does not gets displayed and basically renders the skin unusable. Any ideas for a fix?

Same here on Windows actually. No color ring to indicate the amount of modulation being applied. Synthmaster still shows everything in the Mod Matrix, so I wouldn't call it "unusable" (as Synthmaster never used to have this feature). However, that was one of my favorite parts of the 2.8 update, especially for a visual learner like myself. Would be nice if it was incorporated into Tranquil Blue.

I use Serum, Massive and Alchemy. I hate switching my eyes to the matrix each time I do mapping/adjusting modulations. Then I hate not seing what params are modulated. I purchased Synthmaster when this feature already existed - because the feature existed

Hence for me this skin is totally against my workflow so I reverted (until a fix, maybe?) to the default skin.

Good news guys, I have fixed the - No color ring to indicate the amount of modulation being applied problem.

v1.3 sent out today afternoon. It's a small change in the interface.xml file.

Ciao.

satYatunes,

As the SynthMaster itself has small interface, less colors=less confusion.
I would like to point out few inconsistencies - if you ever plan for a update:

Layer Section
For reference, I will point out the Voices selection: Poly, Mono & Legato are light blue text on dark blue background when bypassed/deactivated and yellow when active respectively. This is perfect - as I've said, is for reference.

When it comes to Oscillators in the chain, OSC 1 & 2 are bypassed when the text is light blue over dark blue background and active when the text is dark blue over light blue background. --- Can this be consistent with the yellow when active scheme?

The filter selection: Split - Parrallel - Series : The active selection is colored as are the filters when deactivated - again can this be consistent with the yellow when active scheme?

The most important: The next 5 effects: color scheme is opposite to the Osc & filter. Again, yellow for "On" would be great or at least a consistency over the color.

Also N/S portamento switches & the Pitch Bend selection box could be nice to be active in yellow.

Filters Section
Algorythm selection button (Digital - VAnalog etc) - can it be Yellow instead of Light Blue to preserve consistency? Slope selectors are again the opposite color in regards to OSC on/off selectors.

Envelopes & LFO's Section
A single Yellow for all active buttons will be easier to spot, instead of using two colors namely Light Blue & some Yellow when active.

Main Section
I can get the same color for Tabs & Pages, but the Boost button (between Volume & Tune) should be again Yellow when active.

FX1 & 2 Sections
The ON LED is the same Light Blue - Yellow is both more visible and makes sense. Same request (Yellow buttons) for the main LFO page.

Well, without our (paid) support, maybe this theme would not have been further developed by satYatunes and consequently would not have been reach at the stage to enter KV's attention. The simple fact that we'll have a decent Synthmaster theme until version 3.0 comes out, for a 2-coffees price, is simply great imho.
