PHENOME VSTi | BEST FREE SF2 PLAYER | v1.70 released!

[EvilDragon]

It's working well over here. Suggestions:

1. Label the interface sections. Which controls are for Delay? Which for Chorus? Which for Echo?
2. Unnecessary duplicated Delay/Chorus/Echo knobs. Either emove those from the rightmost part of the interface (where you tweak the individual effect, or remove the section below Key Split
3. Add a value display so we can see everything numerically please
4. I don't really like the way menus are done (click-drag), it's counterintuitive. The up-down arrows do not suggest that you should hold the click and drag, but only to click on those arrows. Please change these to either dropdown menus (mouse-scrollable), or just enable the up-down arrows to do their job. Please
5. Echo effect is kind of moot when we have Delay. Replace it with a nice Reverb if you can, please
6. Double-click a knob or menu or anything reverts it to default value.


Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Did that Forgot to update the screenshot.

The knobs to the right control the overall volume/mix of the effects! Guess i will make this clearer or add a label somehow

3. Add a value display so we can see everything numerically please

Might be a good idea, will try that!

4. I don't really like the way menus are done (click-drag), it's counterintuitive. The up-down arrows do not suggest that you should hold the click and drag, but only to click on those arrows.

You're right i think. Dropdown menus would be perhaps the best solution generally.

5. Echo effect is kind of moot when we have Delay. Replace it with a nice Reverb if you can, please

Noted!

6. Double-click a knob or menu or anything reverts it to default value.

Could be tricky - let me see what i can do


Cheers!

Another vote for suggestion #3 above, numeric values get you precision,
and you remember the specifics and can return to the sweet spots.

I'm currently updating Phenome to v1.5, with the following changes:

-all "LCD" controls will be changed to popup-menu instead of mouse up/down.
-add textfields for program/multi name
and author
-add patch/bank (FXP/FXB) buttons
-effect returns are now "on" at default
-add filter drive/distort
-add note-off trigger mode
-might change the echo effect to a built-in reverb...

numerical value readout will follow later!

Sounds Excellent!!! Any plans on adding the ability to unload a soundfont as well?

But have you been fishing, dating, sleeping, so all this coding
doesn't drive you ?

Great list of 1.5 updates, thanks!
