Question: Standardized Knob / Slider Controls
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2018 7:56 pm
So; After looking around on the KVR Forums I realized that Synthmaker / Flowstone does not have the best reputation.
And after testing the product I have to admit I think that it is one of the better in DSP's and bar synthedit being a second I cannot falter its efficiency and reliability.
I bought the Bluecat's plug'n script as well; While good it has a plastic sound. I like the sound though (volume on it seems raw... dangerous almost) but Flowstone is cool.
So towards it having a better Rep; I wanted to start a question and conversation regarding standards. And those standards regarding knobs are as follows:
- Double click to default
- right click to type in value
- ctrl to control speed / coarse - fine
- 2 / 3 decimals.
It seems a small thing but I have to question why that Flowstone is getting such negative reviews. For instance I notice that VarietyofSound's plugins are extremely reliable and yet there is still this beef.
So why can we not start posting standardized items?
For instance I notice Digitonix was the only one who had a slider with dbl click default and I looked at how He did it.
I was working on a horizontal slider and wanted to do the same, so I did this:
and here is the example of the reset module I'd found (not mine , but very useful). BTW within default I removed Left click and ctrl and then selected left double click + a 200 ms tick delay so as to avoid retriggering.
This would make products made by Us more like waves. I'm fond of the idea and I believe We can compete.
