Looks great and share same familiar aesthetics as the Glue. So easy on the eyes. I look so much forward to not only use this one, but all future products from Cytomic. Hopefully we wont have to wait too long for modelled eq and mic preamp, considering Andys faster workflow.andy-cytomic wrote:The gui is almost done, I need to add the edit panel when you click the MODS button:

Yes, please do this.whyterabbyt wrote:Can we have a non-skeumorphic variant that doesnt waste quite as much screen real estate? You could fit those controls into the top half of that space without much difficulty at all.andy-cytomic wrote:Any other general feedback on how it's looking?
All those controls could easily fit in 1/8th the space. Not everyone likes to have a large portion of their screen taken up by fake cables and chassis.

What I like is that all (well, both=)) Cytomic plugins so far released share this color scheme. So IMO it's great Cytomic for brand recognition. But adding a bit of green, maybe as a stipe behind "The Scream" logo, could be nice as well.Chandlerhimself wrote:Looks really good to me. Personally I liked the dark green better than the black. With the black I don't think people will recognise it as a TS, but if it sounds good who cares. Everything else looks great.
I like those knobs.

Personally I prefer knobs along the side rather than the current approach.andy-cytomic wrote:The gui is almost done, I need to add the edit panel when you click the MODS button:

Not sure if you're aware, the entire gui is resizable, and these screenshots are done from a retina display mac. Here is a comparison when made smaller against the default gui in Live:whyterabbyt wrote:Can we have a non-skeumorphic variant that doesnt waste quite as much screen real estate?

Also the space over the square silver "effect active" button will be used to display a mods panel.

By resizing the user is now forced to sacrifice control interface size for some useless graphics. If they want larger knobs then they sacrifice sceen real estate for those useless graphics. It is a lose/lose situation.andy-cytomic wrote:Not sure if you're aware, the entire gui is resizable, and these screenshots are done from a retina display mac.

Please have a very simple non-skueomorphic option at the very least.

Personally, I like the current GUI, as well as the controls along the side for quickly changing other parameters. Even though I will ultimately judge it based on its sound and playing feel, all things being equal I will almost always gravitate towards plugins that both sound good AND look good. Yes, I am that shallow...

You can use your default controls in the DAW for a vector interface. Doing two interfaces for the same plugin doubles the work.HobbyCore wrote: Please have a very simple non-skueomorphic option at the very least.
I'm not really liking the look of the vector controls down the side of the 3D version of the plugin. I've got an idea on how to get rid of them and keep the 3D looking clean and reasonable as a physical device, just like I do in The Glue and The Drop. I think it's the break in paradigm as much as anything that is the issue here.

Wont there be a bunch of exposed parameters coming from the mod section though? It seems that w/could make using the DAW's(if it has one, few do!) default UI even worse.andy-cytomic wrote:You can use your default controls in the DAW for a vector interface.

I just want less space wasted on non-functional gui elements. Thank you for listening and responding.
