damn, the audio wave visualization on the wires in the thing that's like the Bitwig grid editor is just BRILLIANT.

probably would be a bit much in a complex finished instrument but that's amazingly intuitive for the building phase, or for reading someone else's instrument.

i wish there a way to translate old Reaktor library stuff into more modern synth GUIs. there's some amazing gold in there but it is nigh impossible to understand between Reaktor's uh... challenging UI and the total lack of documentation for the signal paths to try and explain them to a relative novice. you can very easily see _what's_ built, but god help you try to understand why on your own without adding a ton of scopes everywhere manually

The oscilloscope-as-wire idea is one of those rare ideas that seems obvious in hindsight, yet no one (to my knowledge) has done it before, at least in a box-and-pin UI.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see it start popping up elsewhere, similar to how Ableton made everyone realize they had somehow been living without retrospective MIDI capture.

hey! I'm the guy who developed bespoke. I too thought that the waveform-in-wire thing was original, but a few years after I put it in, I realized that I had subconsciously stolen it from ReacTable. there's nothing new under the sun, everything is a remix!

Not quite the same but I love the way the ports in VCV Rack are LED's who's intensity changes with the signal voltage, really makes debugging at a glance easier.

This, I believe, was something introduced by Expert Sleepers in their Eurorack modules. That was certainly the first place I saw it.

Is there a similar tool for doing graphics?
