My index finger is twitching with anticipation!    Is this the same vst engine as last time?

No, 100% new code.
Based on JUCE : http://www.juce.com/about-juce
I have it compiled already on Windows, MacOS and Linux.
My goal is to have it as a standalone app and a plugin version for each platforms.

Great!  I definitely prefer ^stand-alone editors.

Great!  I definitely prefer ^stand-alone editors.

Yep, standalone is better for sound editing but the plugin is great to effortlessly save your presets and load them back with your tracks in your DAW.
So both would be great :-)

Dear Xavier,

After looking at the editor screenshots I was wondering why you choose to have the 6 operators inside tabs?
If you use sliders instead of the envelope graph you could fit all operator settings in one screen.
This would give a much better overview of the sound settings imo.

Regs DMM

[Xavier]

I see what you mean
But 8x6 = 48 sliders ! Not  sure it would very relevant.
I'll try to add a button to open a windows that would superpose the 6 enveloppes on the same graph with different colors.

Hi Xavier,

I've got the idea from looking at the Reason PX7 FM synth.
I think this GUI is very well designed.

[Xavier]

The problem is that a small difference between the attacks of 2 operators can make a sound difference, and i think it's impossible to see this on 100 pixels height sliders.
Not ideal.

But thanks for the info, interesting UI.

Looks good!
Do you use some kind of GUI framework for this? I can help with mockups etc if you interested.

[Xavier]

Thanks, but most positions are hardcoded.
I still have to work on the color, so if you have any suggestion....

[DMM]

I thinking the metal case design is very nice. Maybe you can use the same for the plug-in.
White background,same blue/gray text and labels,yellow for the display

[Xavier]

Thanks i'll give a try.

Looks exciting!
Couple of things:

1. Small thing, but you might want to remove the second 'p' from 'enveloppe' (just a pedantic point, but the rest of the editor is in English, so…)
2. Have you considered some king of patch randomiser function? They've proved very popular in other synths (both hardware and virtual)

Also, do you have any plant to integrate any kind of librarian function into the editor in future?

Final question: will this work with Ableton Live, which filters out sysex and NRPNs? To work with Live, it would have to be able to connect to the synth directly, rather than relying on the DAW to forward MIDI data to the synth.

Keep up the great work!
