Simple strip knobby with MIDI learn

Postby nix » Sat Mar 23, 2013 12:05 am

Heya,
I found myself posting this over at SM,
after fruitlessly hacking around in the stock knob.
I understand this can be done in Ruby now,
but for those of us used to the old-school logic,
this one could be easy to modify to taste.
Here it is->

It has 205 prims,
and MIDI learn is supported.
A cool thing about using this control is that using the mod wheel
doesn't crash the host like the convoluted default.
Hope you think it's usable.
Cheers, Nick

Hey,
Thanks nix, really cool and realistic...
How did you do it?
Can I ask you what software you used to make it?

Yeah sure man,
my family know I like talking about this stuff too much 8D
I used 3DS max,knobman,.png stitch and photoshop.
Here is a matching one to plug into the schematic->

They're both slightly flawed coz I can't work out how to have a
linear speed in the 3ds max animation.
But I don't notice it.
You're welcome,
glad you think it's kinda cool.
The perspective is so wrong,
but I kinda like them anyhow.
I have some colour inverted ones if u would like them?

Hehe... better talking about that than politic or religion... but I know how it feels...
You can only share with us... but good for us...

I haven't noticed it either... It's really OK!

It's not kinda cool... It's really cool :D

Thanks for the offer man!
Well it's up to you to post them up... I won't used them cause I did use some other people knobs at the begining of my SM experience, and I read some really nasty things about people using other people's work so... I'll pass...that's why I asked you how you made them...
But man... you're not kinda nice... you're Really nice !!!
Once again...I think you've done an amazing job with that...
Cheers!

I was trying to make the coolest knobs in existence for DJ Bryntesson.
Since I can contribute just a touch,
here are the matching black ones->

I feel if things are made available to use,
they are at that.
I am still learning to custom build everything-
I am learning now how filters work.
If yous want to use these knobs, go ahead.
It's actually a good way to sorta get known as a designer for me.
I lost my 3ds max discs in a fire,
and was able to get a download registered-
so I can still do renders.
As far as tips, meshes are pretty handy-
I am still basic,
which is OK for knobs.
You can get 'Blender' free and have a bash,
I think it can do amazing things, it's just I've used Max over the years.
Knobman is really awesome soft,
but I am interested in turning the vector knob maker into similar,
and so is Troggludite actually 8D
Cheers! raises stubby(hehe)
If we couldn't use what has been created by others,
I would be wondering what to do with sticks and stones
thanks a bundle for the props, I want that on my gravestone-
not kinda nice-really nice!
Warm thanks for the compliment on the job,
I had hundreds of frames going everywhere!

I'm with you on that one, like most of us here I'd like to think...

Hoho...tough subject... if you're not into maths...like I am...

Sounds promising! 8-)

No, no... you already went thru a fire... and still posting... nothing's gonna stop you now...

Thanks again for the knobs... you're setting up the quality level quite high now...
