Good Morning! I agree. Here's something I've been doing. Aside from working on my personal plugins, I've been wanting to show my appreciation to the community by designing a set of 3d assets / filmstrips that people can use on their projects.

There are quite a few regulars in here that always get me going when im stuck. I Love it here!

This is just a mockup of one of the kits im working on. All of these assets should be available for anyone to use soon. Dont quote me on "soon". Im sure everyone in here has 10 things going at once lol.

Im still messing around with the faceplate so the actual release might not be exact.

Much Love to the community!
Special Thanks to @Christoph-Hart
and honorable mention to Mr. @d-healey who got me going on all this in the first place!
Im soaking it all in!

Just thought I'd hop on and wish everyone a great day! If you see this, I hope you're doing great!

Freebie for the community.

Here's the script:

namespace LafRealKeyboard
{
	const var FloatingTile1 = Content.getComponent("FloatingTile1");
	const var Laf_RealKeys = Content.createLocalLookAndFeel();
	
	//! DRAW WHITE NOTE
	Laf_RealKeys.registerFunction("drawWhiteNote", function(g,obj)
	{
		var a = obj.area;
		var WhiteUp = Laf_RealKeys.loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}WHITE KEY - UP 11.png", "WHITE KEY - UP 11.png");
		var WhiteDown = Laf_RealKeys.loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}WHITE KEY - DOWN 11.png", "WHITE KEY - DOWN 11.png");
		
		if (obj.down)
		{
			g.drawImage("WHITE KEY - DOWN 11.png", a, 0, 0);
			g.setColour(Colours.red);			
		}
		if (!obj.down)
		{
			g.drawImage("WHITE KEY - UP 11.png", a, 0, 0);	
		}	
	});
	Content.getComponent("FloatingTile1").setLocalLookAndFeel(Laf_RealKeys);
	
	//! DRAW BLACK NOTE
	Laf_RealKeys.registerFunction("drawBlackNote", function(g,obj)
	{
		var a = obj.area;
		var BlackUp = Laf_RealKeys.loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}BLACK KEY - UP 11.png", "BLACK KEY - UP 11.png");
		var BlackDown = Laf_RealKeys.loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}BLACK KEY - DOWN 11.png", "BLACK KEY - DOWN 11.png");
		
		if (!obj.down)
		{
			g.drawImage("BLACK KEY - UP 11.png", a ,0, 0);	
		}
		if (obj.down)
		{	
			g.drawImage("BLACK KEY - DOWN 11.png", [a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3] + 10] ,0, 0);
		}
	});
	Content.getComponent("FloatingTile1").setLocalLookAndFeel(Laf_RealKeys);
}

I had the help of @d-healey and @Lindon with making this and a few extra helps from gpt.

Bless!

• ROX

PS> if anybody wants to make improvements and toss it back, have at it! Together we can make the ULtimate Table preset menu. haha.

@rglides SAMPLE:

*HISE Logo for fun. Dont sue me. lol

Ok just sharing my first 3d Knob that I made! This is gonna be fun.

@lalalandsynth how do you get your shadows to show up in the animation? I can seem to get mine to show up on the transparent areas.

@Chazrox man I really figured this one out on my own and im proud of myself. lol

I started digging around and I opened the corresponding .xml file for the project and noticed in one of the lines that it was pointing to a default preset that no longer existed in the expected folder it was supposed to be in. Turns out I DID do something, which was move that folder that the preset was supposed to be in. I deleted that line and everything opened up as normal. fweeww! Sweats! haha.

this thing...

@CyberGen I had some wierd bug regarding midi and I found on the forum somewhere that if your buffer settings in your DAW are 1024 or higher it would break the midi in some way...I thought that it sounded bogus until I tried it and it fixed my problem. Just throwing that out there because it seems your out in the deep like I was so it wont hurt to try!

If you're like me and just need an extra visual helper, you might find this useful.

Drop a panel in your project and name it "Grid1".

namespace GridHelper
{
	const var Grid1 = Content.getComponent("Grid1");
	
	Grid1.setPaintRoutine(function(g) 
	{
		drawPandelGrid();
	});
	
	inline function drawPandelGrid()
	{
		local a = this.getLocalBounds(0);
		
		// Size Controls
		local NumBarsX = 10; // Number of Vertical Lines
		local NumBarsY = 10; // Number of Horizontal Lines
		local BarHeight = 1; // Horizontal Bar Size
		local BarWidth = 1; // Vertical Bar Size
		
		// Colour Controls
		local BarColour = Colours.withAlpha(Colours.black, 0.5); // Bar Colour
		local BackgroundColour = Colours.withAlpha(Colours.pink, 0.5); // Optional Background Colour
		
		// Spacer Logic
		local spacerY = a[3]/NumBarsY; // Horizontal Line Spacing
		local spacerX = a[2]/NumBarsX; // Vertical Line Spacing
		
		// Paint Background		
		g.fillAll(BackgroundColour); // Optional Background Colour
		g.setFont("ArialBOLD", 12);
		g.drawAlignedText("GRIDHELPER1.0", [5,5,100,5], "left");
	
		// Paint Lines
		for (i=0;i<=NumBarsX;i++) // Vertical Lines
		{					
			local x = i * spacerX - (BarWidth/2); // Center Line ON grid
			
			g.setColour(BarColour);
			g.fillRect([x,0,BarWidth,a[3]]);	
		}
		for (i=0;i<=NumBarsY;i++) // Horizontal Lines
		{			
			local y = i * spacerY - (BarHeight/2); // Center Line ON grid
					
			g.setColour(BarColour);
			g.fillRect([0,y,a[2],BarHeight]);
		}
	}
}

Its a snippet from @Morphoice that I modified to have both horizontal and vertical lines, made it modular with the all the controls variables and customizable so you can set a different amount of x or y bars/lines. Comes in handy sometimes when I just want to visualize a certain part of my plugin and make sure its equally spaced to my desired paramaters.

(idk if something like this exists already but I thought it was good excercise regardless). Bless!

@Lindon I havent gotten that one much before. I get whats happening now.

@Lindon Thank You Im gonna try this in a bit and get back to you. Appreciate it! Love the energy.

@Lindon @Oli-Ullmann @d-healey

Thank Yous! ha.

@d-healey Yeah I think it was a wrong type of value trying to be written in.

@Orvillain sheet. lol. See.. I told you im goofing it. all the loops got me in a loop. lol. Im not exactly sure how to go about that at the moment. Im definitely mixed up a little bit but still trying to figure it out.

I dont remember changing anything to do with this part of the script and all of a sudden I cant get rid of this error message "Syntax Error" . Any clues?

Everything was working fine until it wasnt. No clue why all of a sudden, Syntax Errorr...

EDIT:
I figured out how to get rid of the error, but I dont know what caused it. Can someone please shed some light?

How I fixed: deleted "DrumKits.json" and re-compiled.

Can someone please advise on this....

im trying to learn how to set control callbacks with loops for obvious reasons when dealing with large amounts of components.

I know i've seen an example of this before somewhere but I cant remember where, so I've been trying to do it from scratch but i've been stuck. Can you please advise?

Be nice, this is my first time doing this.

I have a good feeling that I goofed this. lmao.

@whereami518 Do you have anything scripted in onNoteOn?

@dannytaurus
So you've never seen my pretty profile pic before?? haha
Nice to meet you!

@dannytaurus ahh thats whack! lol
