hello

one thing I must say.
The design is nice BUT!
I played today live and even if I don’t I would say the same. All the bottom menus are soooo tiny and hard to access. Especially MAIN & FX. These two are frequently used but sooo small.
I would suggest you to expand these > MAIN, FX, PADS and SAMPLER. There are as important as any of the knobs.
PRESETS and ABOUT can then be somewhere else like the “menu” item is in PRESET.
All the blocks have nice functional headings that can be grate model for these screen switchers (MAIN, FX, PADS and SAMPLER)
I know there is “no” place for it, but I think you have to find some.

I’m sure you wont scale down the logo :slight_smile: but I’m sure that if you squeeze the main part of each of the screens then there’ll be enough space left for better accessible screen switchers. That is matter of few pixels and the UI will be way more user friendly.

thanks for the awesome app. 2046

another GUI suggestions:
1. Knobs UI
2. UNDO

check this picture out(bellow).
I think self explanatory. When you touch the know you have almost no reference(visual) what you do. if there will be overlay like on the picture it’ll be more intuitive and more lucid above all. (Maybe the version with numbers is less confusing).
I think the worst are those without “light” reference point, like FREQ, RELEASE, …

  1. I would love to have the undo there as well, Sometimes I play a while with a settings and then want to know if the last one wasn’t better :wink:, but don’t remember last step(even after few seconds :wink: ).
    But please do not think of the shake undo style! Something more simple like one spot on the screen.
    Or the better a slider with say 5 steps back and forward :slight_smile:
