Just a small detail: since there is no left shadow in the knobs and other elements of the GUI (rather a small right bottom shadow), I think there shouldn't be one either on the keyboard. The current keyboard is sown as if there is a light coming from the right. A keyboard with a perspective look from above, with a tiny bottom right shadow too should be what goes in there, IMO. Not a big deal, it really doesn't bother - just a minor observation.

Nicely done Norbz. Going to give them a spin right now.

Hey Norbz, do you still ahve this one below? Or are the knobs optional? Still my favorite I think...

** I just redid some more of the fine tuning on the placement of stuff. Still finding tiny little things to fix here and there - if you've already downloaded the .zip please re-download and replace files.

@Echos - the knobs there were just photoshop files but yeah I can knobman them in the near. The background I'll try to dig up or redo quickly next time I'm in there..

Cool, I think the flat look is nice (not too shiny).

By the way - Some advice for those newer skins: I see that you have a colored ring around some knobs now. As you have it the coloring starts at the left position and goes clockwise. I think it would be wise to do this only for those controls whose starting position is full left. Many of the knobs starting position is centered and have a negative value to the left and positive to the right. In these cases what you actually want is the colored ring to appear from noon position moving left or right.

Downloaded both the beta version and the skin in my Mac, and everything is working (almost). What might be a bug: In MainStage, if I select a patch from the instrument window, it doesn't load. I have to load the patch from within the GUI of Poly-Ana - is this intentional? Because it certainly isn't the standard behaviour.

I noticed that other banks except the default one do not play (I guess that's because it is running in demo mode).

The skin looks great, bit I would like the version with the grey knobs (too much flashy metal, I guess

).

Anyway, good job Norbz and H-Man. Now, I'd like to be certain that Mike will not make this useless in a next beta. I am willing to buy Poly-Ana, but I would be pissed if in a future beta this skin would be blown out.

Awesome Norbz. Amazing what a new dress can make out of a synth.

Valid points for sure but I would just remind you that Norbz has already put in a bucket load of work

to create the template for others to adapt.

To be honest I'm not entirely sure that Norbz is in fact one person

I just did a version of that flat knob in about 5 min so maybe I can create some more knobs tomorrow and up load them if it helps?

Cheers guys,

As you can see - it's going to take a lot to please everyone, and from here you guys can create skins, knobs, variations, additional knobs etc. very fast.

I just did another one in 10 min - flat as requested - preview and download ahead - enjoy

The button of Phase in Osc 2 is always on (as if it was in Negative Phase). Bug in the skin?

OK, this is nice, but I "really" wanted the ADSR inside the knobs

Don't know why, but this is more appealing to me than have tiny ADSR below them. Hmmm... I guess that would need a new background?

BTW - How do we select which background to use? Right now I just copied the folder, and it worked with the dark background. How can I change that (if I want to - not that I really want to do that right now)?

Norbz · Post by **Norbz** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 2:54 pm

Nope, you just need to create 4 separate knobs in knobman (I might do it next time I'm up - must crash now just pulled an all nighter for this

).

H-man could probably do it too. Here's the knob BG:
