MONA - New GUI for Diva

[midi_transmission]

And, maybe ... bigger font for the browser - or can that be changed in the script?

Fantastic work, huge respect!

Which scaling do you use?

I just wanted to post that the font is too big in the browser. And not as well readable as the orginal Diva theme.

The impression of the look of browser may be strongly affected by environments and zoom rates because it's made of rows of texts. And it seems that the font size (I guess) is rounded by system-- say 14px * 90% = 12.6 but it's rounded to 12.5, 12 or 13? Something like that can cause the browser look somehow irregular.

Thus this is one big part that is hard to please everyone. I think that "too small" is more problematic than "too big" so the font size is set to a bit bigger. As a result, in 100% zoom the impression may well lean toward "Isn't it big?"

It's a bit geeky but you can manually set the font sizes just by changing the value of following lines in Diva.txt in "Scripts" folder.

----------------
-Font size for folder list
line 10740 : PROPERTY control='_PresetManagerView' name='labelTextSize' id='0' value='13.00'

-Font size for tag cloud
line 10782 : PROPERTY control='_TagFilterView' name='tag font size' id='0' value='13.00'

-Font size for preset list
line 10875 : PROPERTY control='THE_PRESETSELECTOR' name='mLabelTextSize' id='0' value='14.00'
----------------

And no line spacing options here! how I wish it had.

That's not too geeky, it's awesome to share it. When you're using mainly 80 or 90% one can make the font size one point higher. At at 100% I can set it one down. For me it's very helpful and it's easy to change.

I understand all of your points and reasoning very well. Might be the best compromise like it is. Best would be an individual adapted setting per zoom factor but I guess that is exactly not possible.

That being said, regardless of the font size. Folder tree and tag cloud: the mid gray and white font is still a bit hard to read for me. I wish the background and tag background was a tad darker. In the list and actually all other parts in the theme the contrast is perfectly balanced for my taste though.

As said so many times before. The theme is great. But your commitment here is the icing on the cake.

Where is the Reset Phase for OSC1, 2, 3 setting?

Alright. I'll adjust the brightness for better readability!

It's in the footer and only appears when transient mode is set to "osc reset", as these knobs take effect only in that mode.

Beautiful work, thank you. Just purchased, can't wait to use it later today.

[krans]

I think you did such a wonderful job on this!
Thank you so much.
I always enjoyed the sound of Diva, but the workflow/GUI and I never got along. Not with the Volta GUI either.
Hive, on the other hand, is my favourite when it comes to workflow. And it feels like you just made Diva into Hive's analog sibling.
I just love it!

[1234Hi5!]

Yeah this is nice

[EvilDragon]

Yuta, absolutely freakin' terrific job you did on this one!

[gauderbock]

I've got to say, this has completely redefined Diva for me. I always loved the sound in presets but struggled to dial in my own, this skin has made it much easier. Thanks!

There is a typo: Bipoler Noise (bottom right).

Also "Tuning" would look better than "MicroTun", perhaps?

woooooo thanks, that's why I don't like English
oscillator, filter and bipolar...

As to abbreviation, being a non native speaker, not sure what feels natural. But want to keep a fragment of "micro" like "M.Tuning" or whatever.

[EvilDragon]

I think if you could spell out "Microtuning" fully that would be best. You certainly have enough space by moving VCA and Transient options a bit to the right, since there's all that space before Bipolar Noise?

Ehehehe. Yeah I can see how this could be confusing to a person using a syllable-based language. Curious!

Your English is mostly quite excellent otherwise, if I may be frank!



EDIT: Another suggestion. In Play mode, I don't think anyone really knows what VCC is (not sure it's even mentioned in the manual, I'd have to check). So maybe just naming that header VOICE would make more sense?

Naming the Arp timebase parameter Tempo is also a bit confusing, this is note values, not tempo. So I would suggest calling that either Timebase or Rate, both are more correct and familiar in this context (a Tempo control is expected to choose a BPM, not a note duration value).

All your points make sense. Now I don't know why I labeled it "Timebase".... Also I recognized that "VCC" is the term used only in script files, which maybe is an initialism for "Voice Circuit Control". I definitely should stop using it on UI! Thanks.

Thanks all, I updated the package with several fixes, enhancements and options.

v1.0.1:
[Fixed] Fixed the typo "bipoler".
[Improved] Changed label from "Microtun" to "Microtuning".
[Improved] Changed label from "VCC" to "VOICE", "Tempo" to "Timebase".
[Improved] A bit high contrast for browser folder list by diminishing brightness of the background.
[Added] Added an appearance setting: You can choose DCO waveform panel frame (light/dark/plain).
[Added] Added alternative images resource that you can replace by yourself: More classical "miniMG" look. Check out "Customize by Yourself" folder!

As for Scope on/off feature, give me some more time

uh, thanks, fixed and updated again now (v1.0.2).
To quickly fix it (rather than re-install the whole package), please delete the image file "ENV-MG-Label-ENV2.png" in "Pictures" folder.
