So I've seen a few posts here asking how to "do" an LED-style control, and there's been a few answers - all of which seemed to require adding in a png for the LED itself.

So as I needed (or wanted) one of these that used vector drawing, and one that had some level of "red-line" warning as well as momentary peak measurement too I coded one up. You might want to use it - or adapt it to your needs.

So caveat no.1 : as @ustk has said elsewhere - this is not really a gain meter - its approximates one as it uses 100 milliseconds between each measure - so it may miss some peaks. But in any case:

I'm pretty sure the code could do with re-factoring so I'm always interested in a better version if you want to comment or contribute...

...sliding in late... happy holidays everyone...

OK so as promised, here I am at the end of the "name your Own Price" sale... to provide a few stats.

So the sale ran from 27 June to 5th August ( so a little over a month) and I did spend a modest amount of time pushing it on VI-Control, KVR and facebook.

Referrer order:

1. VI-Control
2. KVR
3. Reddit (who knew??)
4. Search Engines
5. facebook

All up I had 169 orders for 469 products. Yep still got a lot of multiple-product orders. For an all up revenue of $2658.05 (who was that person who paid $5.05 for something?). As you can guess more than 90% of people paid the minimum $5.00 for each product - so if you are going down this path then make sure your minimum is something you can live with. I know most people who run these say most customers pay way above the minimum, but frankly I'm unsurprised given the audience here is musicians - never found them to be the most generous of individuals (sorry if that offend anyone - remember I'm a musician too...)

My take: As a vehicle for getting product into peoples hands its a good approach, many many customers were very grateful I ran this and said so in public forums, but as a sustainable business model its never going to fly. To do this you need a fairly extensive (and pretty played out) back catalogue- which is what I had/have so it was minimal pain for me.

OK thats it have at it..

Hello everyone, so right now I'm running a different kind of summer sale over at Channel Robot. It's "Name Your Own Price" (min = $5 , max = list price). It's for my Kontakt instruments ONLY - and I'm pretty sure no one here needs or wants any of those but on one of the facebook groups I was asked to provide some feedback on how it went after the sale finishes. It occurred to me that this would be useful information to all of us - in case you were thinking of running with this format for your own product sets. So whenits finished I will try and remember to post some stats here.

Meanwhile - it's been running for 1.5 days now, so this is whats happened so far:

In the last 36 hours I've made 26 sales - selling 82 items (yep almost no one is picking up a single item..) for a total revenue of $429.00 - yes almost everyone (90%) are paying the minimum $5.00.

I am getting the feeling that if I'd set the minimum at $10 I wouldnt be so much down on sales and up a fair bit on revenue - but who knows. I will try and keep you posted - remind me at the end of August in case I forget.

yep happy and successful 2020 everyone...

@MikeB said in I give up:

but unfortunately I'm a graphic designer for 40 years

.. So just askin..... would you expect someone who has never done Graphic Design to pick it up in " a couple of weeks"? To be competent enough to charge for their services?

Coding take years of effort to learn how to do. I think its unreasonable to expect it wont take as long to be good at it as it takes to be good in any other profession.

I've been writing code for over 30 years...(ouch!), and I knew the day I started on HISE development I wouldn't be making anything of any value for at least 6 months - and so it proved.

Perhaps divide and conquer is your best approach - find someone who will build the back end for you and you (graphic) design the front end.

Me personally - I'm just here for all the free advice about cash-app transfers in those very helpful posts...

• praying (pretty hard) that this is in V3......

-- wow I just re-read the thread I pointed to - I've been a pita about this .....sorry.

@d-healey - no let me start with the documentation and I'l call if I'm drowning...

@Steve-Mohican said in Spectral Processing?:

@Lindon said in Spectral Processing?:

is it possible we could get the stuff on the list we all made first?

What do you mean with that?

we made a list we all voted on for things we wanted to see in V3(script node codegen rewrite)

-- which for the life of me I cant find in the forum now - any one help me out?

@MikeB - you cant (I think), you have to do what all the developers of your purchased plugins did - and write your own preset system.

@d-healey great - can you point me at the documentation for this?

So I have a "simple" UI that shows a filter and its LFO modulator - which can be set to "custom" and I allow the user to "draw" their own LFO shape - but down the back end I have several Filters(with modulators) that I want to apply this "shape" to. Is there a way to do this?

is that what this is for?

myTable.connectToOtherTable()

?

Can I do this?

myTable.connectToOtherTable(mySecondTable);
myTable.connectToOtherTable(myThirdTable);
myTable.connectToOtherTable(myFourthTable);

..and have it update all tables?

@Steve-Mohican said in Spectral Processing?:

Is it possible to implement spectral processing (for eq, comp...etc.) in scriptnode codegen rewrite?

is it possible we could get the stuff on the list we all made first?

@ustk sadly they are not.

@d-healey - yeah but I may as well just reference the widgets directly and load them into an array on init - its hardly any more work - and actually less in the init (but we are talking microseconds here..) Thanks anyway..

@d-healey said in myPanel.get("childComponents") - seems not to work:
