Hi back,
o.k. I spend a little time reading and experimenting with UI-Toolkits
(please keep in mind that my app-programmingskills are limited) and
have the following thoughts:
- for the UI we will mainly need sliders and knobs
- the UI should be lightweight to run several plugins per song/track
- as far as I have seen only 2 UI-toolkits have knob-widgets include
in the standard lib and that are FLTK and Qt
- gtkmm has no knobs but with gtk and cairo I can draw some ->
brummer, the dev of guitarix gave his o.k. to use his knobs and
sliders
regarding my programming skils:
- FLTK is ... less documented (to be polite) .... development unsure
- Qt is big, unless we say that most people use QJackCtl, then Qt
support is installed anyway
- gtkmm sits on top of gtk and the most designfiles are kinda "closed source" .o
I think my first step will be to redesign the FLTK-UI and make it more
Zynaddish / Yoshish keeping the nice PPG colors
Work began yesterday - be polite - this is my first UI ...
I will add a "soundchooser" like in zynadd so that we can create banks
and a "midi-map" window.
regards, saschas
