AUDULUS USER LIBRARY PATCH

The basic collection could also make more liberal use of SVGs to make different sizes of text when labeling with the text node is inconvenient, or results in text being awkwardly off center. There’s a great balance of utility with multiple interface elements like switches and different sized knobs. If you want a good balance take a look at the Intellijel range of products. You ignore it once you know it, but until then it’s cryptic. Maybe those should be the focus for further polishing.Īlso clearly labeling something with words is never bad.

Honestly, I wish the basic VCO has separate waveform outs, like a Dixie II+ but other than that the basic VCO, step sequencers, clocks, filters, and LFOs modules are great. The oscillator on the right has so much space in it. Lol, i feel like this is one of those push polls. So given that that will happen eventually, does that change your mind about how the current library looks as a template for going forward? After a while, if you have everything explicitly labelled, it might make everything look more busy than it needs to be - hence the hidden but easily accessible tooltips.

Of course since I designed the modules I know exactly what everything does and when I look at a patch I can “see” everything in a way that newbies can’t. But you think tooltips would solve this? The idea is we’d have standardized icons that mean only one thing (like octave shift or fine tune control) and then when you want to know specifically what an input, output, button, or knob does, you enter a help mode and just tap on the knob and a text box comes up describing what it is. I will say that the current UI aesthetic, while cool, makes some of the modules much more opaque… something like a product by Ciat Lonbarde… full of expressive potential, but sometimes you just want a VCO.
