Novation V-Station and Bass Station skins (Peak, Summit and BS2)

[Boy Wonder]

Very nice. Thanks.

[Shabdahbriah]

Cool! Thank you. Look forward to revisiting this classic.

Ahh yes.. probably from the registration process, though the version on their website (dated 2020) is the one I have and I had bought it many eons ago.

The original on mac and pc had 44 files, yours has 37 but I haven't found any issue.

The one thing I can't remember since it has been eons since I used it, was I thought it had a drop down menu for the presets...this skin I can only navigate the presets with the +/- switches..
Don't remember if that was always the case.

Thanks again.

I also have an older version that I got for free with some Novation hardware I bought, but I installed the latest one since they fixed the bug with master volume not being saved.

I just quickly reverted to the original skin to check for the drop menu, but it's not there either.

These are the files that I removed:

• activation_bg.png

• activation_buttons.png

• knob_small_green.png

• vu.png

• legacy_mode_label.png

• blank.png

None of these files are mentioned in the XML file so I guess it' safe to remove them, but in case there is an issue with the older version that needs to be registered, you can copy back those files from the original Resources folder.

The original also has 3 button and 4 knob types, while I have only 2 button and 1 knob types, but that shouldn't cause any problem.

I'm spoiled, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed someone will reskin Synth1 like this.

Thanks!

I looked at some older youtube videos. The drop down preset menu was in my imagination.
Thanks for checking

Thanks for this skin Branis. Great work!

If the drop down menu is in someone's imagination then it's in mine as well. I'd swear there was a way to open up the patch list in the past.

EDIT: I've got an ancient WinXP system that used to be my DAW a hundred years ago that still boots up. I checked and it has V-Station 1.7 on it and there is no way to access the patches from the plugin gui with it either.

What I'm remembering is the patch handing of the DAWs I was using at the time. FL Studio and Orion etc. They will open up the banks to view. Getting old sucks.....

[zvenx]

Lol. I too am probably remembering cubase preset handling.

It does!!

It's a shame the skin doesn't come with a preset browser.

[Teksonik]

It's a shame the skin doesn't come with a preset browser.

It wouldn't matter because the synth doesn't have a browser system.

But I see in your signature that you use Orion so its preset browsing system will work.

Thanks Branis

But I see in your signature that you use Orion so its preset browsing system will work.

In Reaper you can also browse patches by drop-down menu.

I made a small update to the skin. I only changed the look of the program buttons:

Now there's only 35 files since I removed the two old program buttons and used the regular dark button instead.

The download link is updated in the original post

Synth1 is resizable...so it's not a real problem for me.

Those I would like to see with bigger new skins are Dune 1/CM and refx vanguard
I know they both are skinable

[EvilDragon]

Synth1 GUI is pretty much entirely vector/programmatically generated so there's nothing to skin, really. There's only very few bitmaps in the binary, used for LFO waveforms and the like.
