suggestions for and questions about Guitarix
Posted: Sun Aug 16, 2009 1:54 pm
I've been testing the recent SVN code and have some suggestions and a question or two. First, the suggestions:
The GUI is nice but rather blocky. In the long run it could benefit from some further polish. For instance, the tuner's UI could be greatly enhanced, or it may be preferable to integrate an already-existing tuner with a finished GUI.
The English on the Guitarix Web site really needs some love. I hereby offer to tidy up the language on the Guitarix Web site, if brummer wants it done. Ditto for the README.
Documentation ? Examples ? Recordings ? Tooltips ? These items would be nice to see/hear. We need more things like brummer's helpful introduction to using jconv with Guitarix. For instance, I have no idea how the Impulse Response module works or what it's really supposed to do.
A question: Beneath the Fuzz control there is a little button. If I middle-click on it the button changes place. There are apparently three positions for the button. So what does it do ?
Another question: Has anyone got the MIDI output working well with a standard electric guitar ? It's not very useful for me, but I'm willing to assume that I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestions for a "best fit" to avoid false triggers ?
I like Guitarix, and I hope its development continues.
Best,
