Modules wishlist 32/64bit

idea re: text displays

global.txt edits don't guarantee your plugin will display
correctly > fonts are not bundled with plugin

DH Text modules have quite limited font selection

>how about a module that allows any font to be used, maybe
from a specific folder, embedding it in plugin? low cpu,
maybe renders the text eg: to image?

don't know what the issues are here. copyright?!
(anyone know any good free font creator program that doesn't
time out?)

i dont think its possible but i would need a module that moves containers (or a bitmap image with this function?) to front or to back.

sample accurate bpmclock for SDK2 / v1.01x

maybe i misunderstand:  if you put your images in their own containers, and put these into an overall
container, you can bring that to front over your background etc. and you can change panels without
your panel disappearing: the contents of the main container are always visible.
if you don't do that, your panel disappears 'to back' and can't be retrieved.

im not sure what code it is... c++ ?
and the first reply is:
"I have check this tempo algorith with the tempo of a real hardware device, and they lose bit a bit the syncronization."

i checked my transportrun with bpm-lfo with FL-Studio and it ran 45 minutes without losing sync

about the bitmaps and containers:
the container in front will always stay in front.
but i need to change the order and see both bitmaps (with transparency stuff) in the same time.

yeah i found that a bit odd. interesting concept.
but if you count 1234, 1234 etc. you can't really
see where it can drift in the digital realm.

that was really a very quick look, i didn't go on
any dsp site or anything.

anyway i sent antto a pm so see what he comes
back with. he must be busy programming his new x0xbox
cpu's firmware(bigger cpu more room for more ASM/functions)
i'm pretty sure he actually showed me what it looked like,
so i've either cleared out my message box with it, or backed
up a little txt file somewhere, not found yet.

www.synthedit.com/sdk3_docs/index.htm

here's your link for the page with autoduplicate  etc.

he finished the VB303 - don't know if he plans to change things on it.
really good - but you really have to figure out the modes, and use it
with a keyboard to operate it.

hey, here is what antto just said:

"as for bpm.. actually, it doesn't make sense to check for bpm multiple times per block, i was wrong

the host calls your process() function and doesn't know which sample you're on

so, in vb303 (as well as in AS_XC3) i just request the tempo once, at the top of the process() func
it seems to work in the DAWs i have, and no one has complained.."

so what does it mean???

if you want to know loads about the tb303, there is a thread called Open 303 on KVR - with an excellent
plugin by Robin@RSmet(2 versions)- i studied it and bodged up some prefabs to test what i was reading,
defnitely some good ideas there. 80 pages!(oh maybe not that many..)

yeah your sequencer looks nice, freemobil showed me his
graphics - i need to do more work on mine, then i can show it
very slow atm - distracted by internet..

i have a nice idea for some sems: a font sem - maybe rebuild of
DH Text Display and Text IO ( as one? with read only option, and
'-1 transparency-capable' (!) ), able to choose colour, size, font
etc. from within SE, and actually use the font when rendering, instead
of looking for a host/local font.

so it would have its own font resource folder, (defined in? the sem?
a definition *.txt file in same folder as the sem?) where you could
drop up to (quite a few) fonts, without having to install them in your
OS.

(i haven't drafted a plugin with DH text display/IO yet - where does it
look for fonts?)
