They smoothly fade in and out, with a range of 2 db per LED, to be easy on the eye. they behave quite analog.


I have so many ideas for the other modules :-D I make this module downloadable as soon as I have finished some other modules.
Thanks! Looks fantastic - great work. The only thing I would say from a personal POV, is that I'm not a big fan of skeuomorphic perspective GUI's.

There are two reasons -
1. I find it hard to see what I'm setting the knob to - my brain has to do the extra adjustment because on real hardware I can physically move my head - but this doesn't work on fixed perspective GUI's.

2. In Stripper (a limitation of Reascript) - there is a limit to the number of bitmaps that can be loaded into memory per script. So having a set of different perspective controls eats into that limit slowly. Those 5 controls could be done using a single bitmap instead of 5. To be fair though - I've never hit the limit - Stripper allows around 700-800 different bitmaps for controls and background graphics - but it's possible I guess on very large projects.

However - having said that - there is nothing stopping me editing the strip for my own use and using a single knob graphic for all the knobs - so not a problem at all really. Would take me literally 10 seconds.

I'm really looking forward to the other strips you create
