the first Shroomboyz release cannot be far...

don't leave out a phantasy set with a forest theme, like owls turning heads, red dwarfs showing up and of course mushrooms as knobs

cheers, tom (kidding)

Wow, these knobs would be great with seperated inner circle and ring. So in MOVEknott one could set values and show movement with one knob. Maybe I will build a smaller version, which uses such feature. Problem in this version would be the amount of graphical movement on screen (which is actually quite heavy for my slow computer with the visualisation-panel on). So I'll keep my 'big' version seperated and with faders, which should be less graphic-power-eating...

Martin, I understand what you're getting at functionally, but do you mean you would like these illuminated surrounds separate to use with the existing black MOVknott knobs or would you like these knobs & surrounds separated? Either way, it's no problem & I'll send you the customized versions off-list so that you have 'unique' & exclusive versions for your device. I think it would be interesting to see the results of your idea, as it would be very unique.

Unfortunately, it would be tomorrow sometime before I could send the new work. Let me know either way & if you have a colour preference or want all 3 colour variations.

Great idea btw !!!

I have just recently recieved my SDK CD-ROM and am so busy working and trying to learn Solaris/ProWave Modulars, and comprehend all of my new rehersal cues, I doubt I will get to this anytime soon. It is good to know that you made these, as I thought I was going to have to learn 3d rendering and graphics software. It is exactly what I want to do with my projects. Playing live requires me to stay away from the LCD while performing, and this will help as I need to glance over at times, but the black and gray colors are not easily seen which sucks. I am hoping to customise all of my projects with these, and my upcoming DAS / Ultimate Ears FOH / Monitor DAW, and the SFP drum submixing DAW. Your recordings, as well as your graphics works is deeply appreciated. This forum makes paying the 1500 USD 4 SFP Professional cards a sound purchase. I could have never snagged the dance gig I'm doing with my archaic hardware touring rig, and that's a fact jack!!

Incense And Peppermints,

Sent you those surrounds separated Martin. You'll notice there's transparency in place of the knobs & also a new red version. Let me know if they're what you wanted. It's worth mentioning that if you want to streamline the file sizes of any of these knob animations, even just for your own machine, you can easily chop the 65 frame animations down to 33 frame versions by simply deleting every second frame left & right of center. You may have already done this with the tiny little knobs you've put on MOVknott.

I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to put all the downloads on this thread in a password protected location in an attempt to keep the designs in-house for SFP devs. I know it could still be hacked, but not by just anyone. What do you think?

go for it...
you have done work that one can trade for many suppers. thanks for providing the developers with some nice graphics!

Shroomz,
You and Brotha' Man Sharc have spent valuable time with your work, and agree it should be protected, and possibly liscensed if any developers profit from it's use. I hope the latter for you, as I'm sure you know what I'm banking on. These are a godsend for live players, and just down right bitchin' for any dark mysterious studio which will add custom LCD options. For instance, it is a must for me to have magenta as my special when using 1000 watt PAR lamps sweating the top off of my head. I had a unique piano teacher from the St.Louis Symphony as a child through my early teens, as Hendrix guitar licks were more fun than Chopin, I became a rocker and discovered blow jobs. But when I was 5 till 14, every manuscript I practiced from had these little avatars of a pair of eyeglasses using the color magenta. It was for every imperfection from wrong speeds, to wrong notes and dynamics, that these little reminders lessened every year as I performed at monthly recitals and auditions for music theory and composition classes, which were free if you placed well. For some reason the color of the gels in the 1000 watt lamps just makes me feel safe and unafaid , or it serves as a reminder for my years of study which I am eternally grateful for. But some people are unaware of the effect that colors can have on your productivity / comfort. I will choose the yellow neon for my stuff, as it will show up nicely with a black background. I think your productivity level is on a roll here with this GUI. The boring days of placing a picture of a dead ananlog synth, or vintage compressor on the LCD is long gone my friend. They are of no value to me onstage, as I couldn't read them in all the lights back in the late '70's and this hasn't changed, till now that is. I can't believe that Creamware and other third party developers will continue to build and not consider their use. Since Solaris was a virtual synth in it's conception, it was only logical to emulate a hardware control surface. Just imagine John Bowen re-doing it's GUI in the dark, while tripping on mushrooms and coffee! Inspiring 'eh?

Long Live The Queen,

hi shroomz

maybe you should just attach them to a creative commons licence, which in short would allow users to use them freely on free devices, but making them pay on comercial devs be it everything from Scope and vst devs to other interfaces?

http://creativecommons.org/

maybe a nice way to make a name (even if thats not your main intention it might be nice

An excellant idea. This is a no lawyer fee approach to a limited partnership agreement. I seem to despise paying lawyers their high fees for my adolescant antics, when I could be buying more DSP's, or Jaeger.

I'll look into that too piddi, but I do think we should try to keep these gui elements in-house & exclusive for use on Scope devices. Unfortunately I couldn't get our ftp client to password protect files or folders on sharc's pwp & since his space is running out, we need to look at hiring server space asap. In the meantime I have another idea for password protection, which I'll sort out today.

Shroomz~> · Post by **Shroomz~>** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 4:39 am

Ok, the downloads are as they were, but all of the zip archives are now password protected. Not completely secure, but better than being freely available to anyone who stumbles in here from google. I should've done this sooner.

There's too many developers here to send private messages to you all, so anyone who needs the password is more than welcome to PM me for it.

i still think u should do a rights management thig about them, just in case. not neccecarily CC but Something ... a zip pass aint worth that much really
