a gentle bump for this great thread of the most amazing skin of the most fantabulous oatmeal!

now, to add my own two cents, I think you guys are wrong about comic sans, it sucks, but PAPYRUS is the worst font of all time...

far far far far worse...

where I used to live in Alabama, it was always chosen as the font for 'vacation' billboards or for construction billboards or anything 'out there' according to the clients.... *shudder*

check out: http://www.midtownvillagetuscaloosa.com/

Which the great design firm I worked for created. Sigh. We begged the client for so many changes but no... so if you're ever looking at a site and wondering "how on earth could the designers have been so stupid?" understand that it's usually, you know, some fault of the client too

I wish you could have left your Maple and Brown Sugar logo and used it as the random button or something. Mmmm...it was good!

egarrard; maybe we could setup a cafe press and you could buy whatever you wanted with it on there

an oatmeal t-shirt would be hip.

yes, indeed.
Like Oatmeal : definitively not a "one trick pony". You can drown for hours into his depth.
About the skin : no, as far as i know, nobody ever did any skin....

sink; well maybe someone should. man i'm finding that skinning a plug is the best way to get to know it inside and out. charsiesis is wicked. fuzpils is a real guru with this stuff.

is charisiesis classified as a modulator or an FSU or what? because it seems to FSU (i like that term/acro) quite a bit if you twist the pots enough. i particularly enjoy the display though, the school of pixelated spheres.

it's the same kind of thing i was fascinated by in skrewel. the visuals lend a very creative and interesting way to design sounds. i think that this 'newschool' merge of creative visual feedback to help influence the creation of sound, is about the coolest thing ever.

i had so much fun experimenting with skrewel to get it to have these odd or symmetrical patterns of visuals that made the most interesting sounds.

Fuzzpil making a PM synth would make the best christmas ever, and the world a better place for sure

Ah, yes, papyrus, how i loathe thee. Fantasy-games and websites for people who want to seem 'mysterious' being its chief takers, i imagine.

I don't have a problem with these per say, just when they're used outside of their intended 'market', that being childrens party-flyers and such.
edit: I wish i understood Charsiesis. So far i just find myself randomly twisting knobs and randomising a lot, with predictably unpredictable results.

Every time i see/hear a reaktor ensemble, i tell myself : "one day, i'll buy it" !

No. One day I will persuade Ben to ban all Reaktor screenies from Kvr. It's just too expensive.

I just did a search for this thing. I only found your mention of it. Could someone post a link to more info?

Is it really? Considering what it can do and how big and beautiful the user library is... but you have to be devoted to that typical sound imho.

sorry, bit OT - I'm still waiting anxiously for that wonderful skin by grymmjack!
