          @UD-AUDIO I'm not a pro GUI designer but if you like working with big images, I don't see why you shouldn't. But IMO this size it too much for a plugin, you should leave room for the DAW to be displayed. For my taste, 65-70% should be nice (without the wood part :grinning_squinting_face: )

            @UD-AUDIO Keep total assets below 50mb (the images are raw bitmap, they are not compressed once in your plugin).

            You can see the total size in the image pool, this is the value you should keep below 50mb.

              @Matt_SF I agree on that! Well I like the look with the desk.
              A negative factor with resizing it to lower sizes is that the synth is a bit tiny because of that desk.
              Maybe there is a way to have the desk optional. But I guess this would need rework
              for the whole GUI and this is only doable with vector graphics right? Or maybe with panel magic?!

                @d-healey I will keep this in mind! Thanks :) The image pool is 36mb with one skin only.
                I will add more skins to it at the end. 1900x900 GUI image is 1.,33mb

                  @UD-AUDIO as David says, look how many Mb the sum of your images is already.
                  The invited images are not compressed.
                  So if you use a 1200x500px image of 450kb in HISE it will take up 10MB of space there unfortunately.

                    @MikeB In Affinity I mostly decrease the quality of a jpg file from 100 to 95%
                    which has almost no loss in quality but less than 50% of the filesize with 100% quality.
                    But I don't like the "almost" so I go with png for max quality.

                      There is no compression once it's in HISE, it is a raw bitmap.

                        @UD-AUDIO Unfortunately HISE doesn't care what you use - it doesn't matter at all.
                        As soon as you import it into HISE it is 32bit and uncompressed and 20x bigger.

                        HISE reserves a colour space of 4,294,967,296 colours = 32BIt for each image. Even if your picture has only 2 colours.

                        So you can compress it or not.
                        The only thing that matters is the number of pixels.

                          @d-healey 5% compression was wrong. It's 5% quality reduction. I didn't use that method with HISE.
                          But how can the image in HISE be uncompressed when my export from another app isn't?
                          Does it encode the file or something? Just curious..

                              @UD-AUDIO Again - it doesn't matter if you compress your image in Photoshop. HISE uses the 32bit bitmap format internally and all images you import are 32bit.

                                @MikeB This is interesting and impressive.. Thanks for clearing!
                                Btw I never would use jpg files for in-app-usage.
                                You also wouldn't use a mp3 instead of wav with your DAW right? :)
                                (Just thought about optimization methods in terms of speeding up the VST)

                                  @d-healey Thanks! Very helpful.

                                  @all
                                  How to make the desk optional?
                                  -Crop the whole vst with a button? :D
                                  -Scale the synth itself?

                                  Or I could just leave a tiny bit of the desk.
                                  But I WILL KEEP IT !! lol

                                    I don't care about graphics, I care about efficiency, so you're asking the wrong guy, but I think this is the solution. :p

                                          @UD-AUDIO Is the synth monophonic ? If so , how do you deal with note priority ?

                                            @lalalandsynth The mono knob is using the "force mono" of the waveform generator which doesn't work like I thought. And the panning also doesn't work properly for now. It should be able to have mono and stereo.

                                            I'm not sure how things work in HISE. No note priority handling yet. Just the legato script.
