Here is a demonstration of how to make a knob in blender , the basic procedure , showing that its quite simple.
Not a tutorial that you could follow as such but might raise some questions that I would be happy to answer.

I plan to do some proper tutorials in an attempt at giving back to this great forum
If anyone is interested that is ? Could also do a tutorial on Photoshop to After fx as well as Illustrator to After fx for vectors.

This one is actually hardware. (3D model of hardware)
Altec 1591 compressor , modified for Threshold.
Custom screen printed front plate.

Just bought a screenprinting machine, been wanting to do that for a few years as I used to work as a screenprinter.

If anyone is working on a drum machine, this one is available.

Impulse madness!

I dont know of a tutorial , was planning to make one myself.
I will attempt to explain.

First off you want the dimensions of the knob to fit your preexisting interface. you could always render at high res and then reduce the size of the knob to fit but lets say you need them to fit.

Say you have a basic interface , in photoshop for example.
Say your interface is 894x700 (just an example)

Set you resolution to those numbers.
Open that image in blender ( Import image as planes)
Place that image , set up a camera that captures the dimensions of the interface.( dont resize the plane , model on that and if you set the correct render dimensions it will fit your interface) I am using camera in orthographic mode and you need to make sure it fits the plane to get the correct size render.

Now you model the Knob and keyframe it 128 frames for example.

You would like to catch the shadow as well in the render but not see the plane or the background so set the plane to shadow catcher. Object data -Visibility-Shadow catcher.
To get a transparent background , render properties Film-Transparent.

So, now if you would render you would get a tiny knob somewhere in the 894x700 frame.
You dont want that , so what you do is go into output properties set file format to PNG , RGBA to get the transparency in the output , click on RENDER REGION and CROP TO RENDER REGION, important !
Then you use CTRLB to select a region for the render , that way it will only render the part you have selected resulting in a smaller image but on that will fit the dimensions.

Select an output folder then hit Render animation !
Open the pngs in something like GlueIt, set rows to one , glue , save !

@Natanr Yes, I will make a proper tutorial with a voiceover and key commands shown , guess I am checking interest ?

Making a Knobstrip from Blender.

My Logan String machine GUI.

Work in progress.

This is my next sample based organ, the 1965 Klavinett IE 40 Tube Organ - Extremely rare Swedish Organ.
First I need to restore the instrument , I am missing 4 notes at the moment but I think I have found the problem.
As soon as its up and running I am sampling it !
Bunch of Tubes !

I was so happy with the Ensemble FX I made for a string synth that I decided to make a plugin out of it. Super simple - IN/OUT and Amount.

Here is the first iteration , the middle meter will not have a VU , that is just a placeholder. I am working on something that will represent the amount of Ensemble fx applied for the center screen.

@d-healey Someone was assisting me that knows more about programming but maybe not so much about HISE.

I will prepare an example

@d-healey

There is a label created that can show the value when clicked.

var Labels = {};

const var TEXT_COLOUR = 0xFF9B9B9B;
const var TRANSPARENT = 0x00000000;

const var labelData = {
    "fontSize": 13,
    "editable": false,
    "bgColour": TRANSPARENT,
    "itemColour": TRANSPARENT, 
    "itemColour2": TRANSPARENT, 
    "textColour": TEXT_COLOUR
};

const var buttonData = {
    "bgColour": TRANSPARENT,
    "itemColour": TRANSPARENT, 
    "itemColour2": TRANSPARENT, 
    "textColour": TRANSPARENT,
    "filmstripImage": "{PROJECT_FOLDER}transparent.png"
};

function createLabel(label, postfix, x, y, w, h) {
    var buttonName = label;
    var labelName = label + "Label";

    var buttonComponent = Content.addButton(buttonName);
    var labelComponent = Content.addLabel(labelName);

    buttonComponent.setPosition(x, y, w, h);
    labelComponent.setPosition(x, y, w, h);

    Content.setPropertiesFromJSON(labelName, labelData);
    Content.setPropertiesFromJSON(buttonName, buttonData);

    Labels[buttonName] = {
        component: labelComponent,
        state: true,
        label: label,
        value: 0,
        postfix: postfix
    };

    //Console.print(trace(Labels));

    inline function click(component, value) {
        var buttonName = component.get("id");
        Labels[buttonName].state = !Labels[buttonName].state;
        displayValue(component, undefined);
    }

    buttonComponent.setControlCallback(click);

    return buttonComponent;
}

inline function displayValue(buttonComponent, value) {
    if (!buttonComponent) { 
        return; 
    }

    var buttonName = buttonComponent.get("id");
    var o = Labels[buttonName];

    if (value) {
        o.value = value;
    }

    if (o.state) {
        o.component.set("text", o.value + " " + o.postfix);
    } else {
        o.component.set("text", o.label);
    }
}

I am having this issue on sliders where it will not show the correct value at the lowest setting , strangely it "works" if I move the slider slowly, although it should go to zero and not stop at 1ms.

This is only a display issue as its correct on the corresponding module (delay in this case)

I think I have posted about this before but cannot find it.

Code I am using.

var PREDELAY = "PREDELAY";

const var Delay1 = Synth.getEffect("Delay1");
const var sliderPredelay = Content.getComponent("sliderPredelay");

var pred = createLabel(PREDELAY, "ms", 275, 455, 128, 22);

inline function onsliderPredelayControl(component, value) {
	Delay1.setAttribute(1,value);
    Delay1.setAttribute(0,value);
    displayValue(pred, value);
};

Content.getComponent("sliderPredelay").setControlCallback(onsliderPredelayControl); 

@ursbollhalder not sure, but you can use oversampling for the convolution in scriptnode, which is essential in my opinion.

@christoph-hart great !
Maybe I am overlooking something but what I am looking for is timeline sync as in :

(Slow lfo starts playing at the correct phase position according to where you are in a "measure /beat" )

OR
(Drummachine w/sequencer would start at the right place in the sequence according to timeline position)

Would "setOnBeatChange" do that ?

@dustbro Has this been implemented , kind of essential.

Sounds great I think , needs some tweaks.
Will have to check for any phase issues , but does not sound like that will be a problem.

@crd Yep LFo into Peak node.
Much better after I set the response to linear.

@ustk I see , But I would need them all to be identical or I will get a slight pan.
I can save a curve but only to use for that particular curve, cannot copy between them.

Or something ...I am getting a slight tilt on the stereo image , not sure why ?

Having said that , I am getting closer to it sounding correct again.
Obviously I am making a stereo ensemble so its a bit "extreme" or "modern" but man does it liven up the strings.
