First impression/suggestion/skin?

First off let me say thank you so much for this plugin. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Upon using it for the first time I am in love with it. It is so intuitive! br
br
There is one feature though that I would have like to have seen. Would it ever be possible to add a visual image of the final waveform it self? I would find it very useful if I were visually able to see what the what the kick actually LOOKS like. It could be displayed in background in the area directly behind the automation lines. Then adjusted in real time as you make changes to the sound. Essentially just showing you what the kick would look like if you were to record the sound as a wav or mp3 file.br
br
Finally, is there somewhere to obtain the files to make a custom skin for Kick?br
br
Thanks!

Why not just bounce it?

Yeah waveform display is something might look at for an update.br

It would defeat the purpose I suppose. I mean I could do that, but it would take entirely too much time to bounce it every time I make a slight change to the sound. Seems like it would come in handy to be able to see the changes in real time as you go, know what I mean?br

Yeah man :slight_smile:

can i suggest that instead of calling the “gate” option gate, that you just call it “oneshot” that’s more like what it actually is doing. when it’s in the off position it just triggers the whole sample if you will… and when on it only plays as long as you hold down the midi note. would be a little less confusing for users i think. also, if you could be actual numeric values on the knobs that you can enter that would be great. like for the eq, just turning a knob and not knowing exactly what frequency you’re at is not super useful. it would be nice to be able to know, i want to cut a little at 440hz… so i dial it to exactly 440hz… you know? and same with the volume and gain knobs. actual numeric values of how many db’s you’re boosting or reducing something would be nice. thanks! and love the plugin!

Thanks for the details on this. I found the folder but it doesn’t seem to contain artwork for the dials. Any idea where I can find that? (I’m on PC btw)br
br
EDITED: I found them… :)br

Cheers.

It would be nice to have the option to lock nodes for preset browsing(even if in some cases it would completely change the sound of the preset). It would also be nice to have the option to lock the mute and solo bottons of the click section.
