@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.

I mostly use a 5% compressed jpg

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

[MikeB]

@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 See here - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/1806/filmstrip-size-limit

[MikeB]

@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]

@d-healey Yes you said that once, I remember. I forgot the @all ;)

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

[UD AUDIO]

@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.

[UD AUDIO]

@lalalandsynth You can have a look at the project if you like.
(but I still need to clean it up)

here's a simple mono script you can use(last note priority):

@Lindon Thanks! This seems already integrated with the legato script by @d-healey.

[Lindon]

@UD-AUDIO - then you are covered right?

[UD AUDIO]

@Lindon Guess so.. Most things do work well but the fx are without function yet.

[MikeB]

For example, this is what it looks like in Studio One on a 40" 4K monitor (3840x2160) at different window sizes.

70%

100%

150%

200%

[UD AUDIO]

@MikeB Would you say that it is sharp enough at 200%?
And at a zoom factor of 50% my eyes are bleeding (With the actual knobs) :D

Nice to see it in 4K! Thank you!!
