rambinator Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hi!I'm still stuck with the design of my frontpanel-layout which should come close to the original mackie-design.I have allready designed all the parts in mechanical-desktop. I also want to use a camouflage pattern as background.The only thing I can't get done are the scales for the faders. For the pots scales I have used the FrontDesigner fromabacom. It also has logarithmic scales but not the kind that is suitible for mixers (the area between -6 and +6 db). Does anyone know some template vectorgraphics or something similar? what applications do you use for your layout? coreldraw?I'm using "hartschaumplatte" as material (the same as in axels great design) and I want to glue a coulour print to itand finish with some varnish....best regardsrambinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Rabbit Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hey RambinatorI think best will be, to set the fader positions in your host and see, what the fader shows on your MidiBox. Even if this isn't the 100% correct posuition if calculated, it represents the true value on your host ... and that's what counts.With Frontdesigner the trick is, to create your scale considering the smallest value step. If your controller needs a scale from -100 over unity gain (0) to +10 and your smallest step is 5 (like for example +5, -5 and -15) you choose the appropriate "Teilung" (don't know how it's called in the English version). In this case it would be 22.I created an example:http://home.tiscali.ch/screamingrabbit/Pages/Temp/Log_Scale_Example.SCLAfter taking it over to the Panel, you just erase the not needed lines.Hope this is what you're looking for.Greets, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
