carla generic plugin UI is supposed to be a dialog, not a full-screen window. it looks awful when you make it full screen, because that is not the intention of it. note that carla needs a little bit more space to show all possible values of enumeration/list type (notice how radium does not support those) plus the MIDI-CC/CV controlled status.
in the future, that parameter page is going to have a search bar. UI-wise, not much is going to change there, only fixing what is already in there and maybe support files / strings. the "edit" tab is something I do not like at the moment, but your ticket is not related to that.
I appreciate the feedback, but to be honest I am not really sure what to do with it and how to go about "fixing" it. When would the ticket be considered done? It seems all subjective and a matter of taste and opinion.
I am at a point where I want to more or less finalize Carla, as it has already many features and time is better spent fixing/polishing rather than change it or add more stuff. I am happy with the current plugin generic UI as it is, as I want to have more than 1 of them open side of side or then a small search bar at the top, so the current design fits well.
Sure, see it as feedback.
The feedback is appreciated for sure. One possible solution too is to have the parameters in the sidebar, following the currently selected plugin. I think having the plugin info in a separate dialog would be useful.
Hi there ! Let me add my feelings... There are some good ideas here, and I am agree to say that parameters view could be improved. But there is maybe no need to do big changes to the things that are already here.
Maybe it could be possible to add a 'Parameters' tab to main panel, without change the rack view :
In such a view, we of course need to keep those feature : on/off, dry/wet, volume.
Question are:
Fiddling a bit with Renoise and Radium, to see how a tracker works. Sure, plugins will have it's advantages, but having the GUI of the plugin open in a special window, above the canvas of the DAW is not really pleasant to work with for me yet (Renoise).
In a standalone synth in NSM (or as plugin in Carla), you've a dedicated window/workspace for your synth. Put all the attention to the synth and turn some knobs instead of picking the preset.
Radium seems to have a pleasant alternative / middle-way, its displays the plugin parameters on a GUI-less but workable overview.
