More visual modules if possible? #47

Love your photon modules. Could you do some more visual panels or controls in future? Thanks!

Ok sure, did you have something specific in mind? Like do you want more options for Photron and Photron Panel? Or just some new visual modules?

The more immersive (read synesthetic) you can do, the more better experience and inspiration we can get in VCV) after trying Photon today (all 4 upper CVs in phase LFO) I really though that's a gate away platform to perform really impressive patch to color sensitive people. I love this smooth transition between colors and their randomness too. A grid slightly messing though but I suppose it's how the thing is working right now, right? Fore Photon is pretty much ready to go so maybe you know some other algorithm for visualizer and would implement it in a new module then? Cv controllable preferably) and oscilloscope for me doesn't really matter. Those mixed color in Photon can be really inspiring Maybe some fractal generator would be suit nice here also?

Did you mean to type the grid is slightly "messy"? There's not really a way to make the resolution smaller without slowing VCV down to a crawl (other than using shaders) and that starts getting into some way more advanced graphics territory that I'm barely familiar with. That's also assuming that VCV even will allow shaders.

Maybe some fractal generator would be suit nice here also?

Thanks for the idea, I'll look into some more visual modules. I honestly didn't think anyone used them other than myself so I'm happy to know that you like them!

Hi again Jeremy! Today I found an interesting thing when sliglty dimmed the Rack. Your easter egg is a rectangle) But moreover - when the flashlight around cursor is moving on Photon there is a nice effect of hiding and showing the rectangle in pretty much "morph" style. It's really looking like an oldschool (maybe postcard thing?) hologram, hope you get me right :-) So suggest you to add some new CV to photon to apply that type of morphing movement on that triangle.

Ok see what you think of the new update with Photron and PhotronPanel.
