Somebody suggested a pan knob. I'm against it. I like the GUI to be as clean as possible. With nothing more then the basic functions.

Second, I see no real point. You can pipe every single sound into whatev er speaker in a room full of speakers. If you like.

That would be some kind of "stereo". But honestly - the world is not stereo. The real world is - mono.

...and the real world sounds beautiful
You're right. I would add that the Mellotron was mono.

A cross fade between A and B will be easy to make without any overload of the GUI. Simply by... an horizontal slider, very discrete, in the style of the 60's (the same style as the current knobs but smaller, knowing that everything is MIDI Learn anyway in this GUI). This cross fade is a good idea and I keep it. Remember, my friend, the little horizontal slider I made on the GUI of my phase distortion double synth (I think you have kept it). It is the same principle. But of course here in the current visual style of BW-Tron.

The Attack/Release on each sound is a good point too, and can be done also without overload : just below each list of sounds there is currently a big empty room at these two places under the lists. And of course the central attack/Release disappears... therefore there is no overload added to the current GUI.

It would give something like this (the slider is just an example to refine with better colors to fit for the current style of the GUI and I have not yet added its label):

That way the GUI is not overloaded and there are all the features which have been suggested (except the split) knowing that we stay for the moment on a mono design.

regarding MIDI Learn - As in all SynthEdit VST/VSTi the , MIDI Learn,settings can be saved in a preset or a bank. So you don't have to assign the MIDI CC every time you run the software. Just load the bank or preset with the saved settings.

A little divider line between the A/B features and the general features at teh bottom would be nice.

Experimental - I wonder how an A/B vu meter would appear like.

Yes, the way Synthedit stores the MIDI Learn is a bit boring (in each preset !), so I'm trying to find a solution to create a special preset only for the MIDI Learn. But I'm not sure if I shall manage to...

Regarding teh vu meter. I don't know. I guess it depends on how teh vu meter looks like. What different types of vu meters are there?

To stay in a 60's traditional visual it should be a 60's traditional Vu-meter.

But now... would it bring a real interest to cost some room on the GUI? In addition, since there are two instruments in the GUI each one with its gain knob, there should be two vu-meters.

So, now that the discussion is very well started, to avoid any annoyance on this current thread focused at the old gems from the past, I suggest to you all who are interested by my development of this Tron to join this new thread I've just opened a minute ago:

BW-Tron Beta Tests

See you...!

i have tried to try. A little info inside says:
"Category : Effect. It sends vst time info (deprecated) and receives midi events."
I wish i knew what it means.

Found a Google server that has the Sir Elliot EQ and preamp plugins. According to all the links I've clicked, this may be the last remaining download site. Grab 'em while you can!
Unfortunately, as he mentioned here, all the compressor VSTs have been discontinued; according to my incessant mouse-clicking, the box dot com download links have also been deprecated.
