It would be great if you could colour the whole knob as well like this plugin http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?pl ... EQ&id=2499

Thank you for the update.
Haven't had time to test it yet but am looking forward to it, as always!

There are new MuLab 7.3.3 packages in http://www.mutools.com/galaxa/

What's new:

• Module Slot now has an audio + event + modulation input and output by default.
• Module Slot options button now shows a more complete context menu.
• Window titles could be displayed beyond the window buttons. Fixed.
• Dropping MUX modules onto a Module Slot didn't properly work. Fixed.
• Dropping an Input/Output module on a rack slot caused a crash. Fixed.
• Resizing a MUX front panel, making it too small resulted in odd behavior. Fixed.
• Preferences panel now includes a search field.
• Other mini improvements.

How to install:

First make sure you already have installed the M7.3.2 package because it contained a whole bunch of changed graphic files compared to M7.2.

Then:

Windows: Put the new .exe and .id files into the M7.3 installation folder.
Mac: Put the new .app file into the M7.3 installation folder.

Does it rescale the vst windows too? This could be a god sent

[MuTools]

No VSTs cannot be rescaled by the host. You'll have to see if your VSTs support that.

New MuLab 7.3.4 available in http://www.mutools.com/galaxa/

What's new:

• Step sequencer: When the composition is cycling, then in a very exceptional case the step sequencer could be confused about the start of a bar/beat/loop and hence only start playing the pattern a bar/beat/loop later. Fixed.
• Also added a 75% GUI Scale option.

I like the new scaling, could be useful.
Would like the ability to reduce certain aspects of GUI while others stay at 100%.
For instance the top Toolbar could be reduced to 75% while the racks could be reduced to around 80/85% but the mid section remains at 100%.

Perhaps too complex, but would help reduce the screen space required for these lesser used sections and expanding screen real estate for the track/sequencer/browser section. Just my personal preference. But this sort of flexibility may be more suitable or useful for others with smaller screens, or even hi-res screens.

At 75%, I think I've got room for the full top-bar keyboard without scrolling... but the scrollbars are taking up some room, so I'm not certain. There's definitely a lot of unused space to the right.

[MuTools]

In the next version, that top keyboard will take all width it can take.

New MuLab 7.3.5 available in http://www.mutools.com/galaxa/

What's new:

• Top keyboard takes all width it can take.
• File browser (Open Project, Import Sample etc...) now also properly takes GUI Scale into account.
• Other mini improvements wrt the new scaling feature.

MUX Modular 7.3.5 VST test version available in http://www.mutools.com/galaxa/

How to install: Many graphic files have changed hence a complete package install is necessary, but of course you can copy over your user settings, see this doc page: http://www.mutools.com/info/docs/mux/installation.html

What's new since MUX Modular 7.2.23 Plug-In:

• The whole GUI now is rescalable up to 200%. See the "GUI Scale" preference.
  A rescalable UI is relevant for users with a view issue and/or on high-res monitors. Also relevant wrt touch-screens.
  Screens are getting bigger and bigger and hence the MuLab UI was getting smaller and smaller on those screens.
  This new feature handles that.
  Rescaling the GUI can be done via main options menu -> Preferences -> GUI Scale.
• All tree lists: Improved search behavior:
  * Starts searching from the cursor downwards, eventually looping to the start of the list.
  * [Ctrl]+G searches again for the next match.
  * After 1 sec, typing new characters for the search string will create a new search string.
• Project browser -> Audio Files: Support for selecting multiple files.
• Renaming objects: The current name is always filled into the edit field, even when it's using the automatic name.
• Fixed a potential sonic bug in the noise generator.
• Moving windows via [Alt]+drag border does not limit the window at the top anymore, the window is freely movable.
• New "Module Slot" module. It's like a single rack slot and can be put on a front panel.
• Step sequencer: In a very exceptional case the step sequencer could be confused about the start of a bar/beat/loop and hence only start playing the pattern a bar/beat/loop later. Fixed.
• Dropping an Input/Output module on a rack slot caused a crash. Fixed.
• Resizing a MUX front panel, making it too small resulted in odd behavior. Fixed.
• Preferences panel now includes a search field.

Thanks for the updates

I like the smaller scale, but the text becomes too small to read easily on reg res monitors. Be nice if we could have some font options. Just sayin...

Great job.

Reduce GUI scale but have separate scale for fonts

Thanks for updates
