Set channel color #312

Open monocasual opened 4 years ago

monocasual commented 4 years ago

it would be nice if we could set the channel with different background colours. For example, I could have my kicks in blue, vocal in yellow, bass in red and so on. That would kind of allow us to have a grouping system.

Is this issue hard? I just got into Juce and was looking for some interesting projects to work on.

monocasual commented 4 years ago

@AK04 this should be an easy task. The bad news: we use FLTK for the UI layer, JUCE is only for VST processing. Also, this feature would require a bit of UX design. Let me know if you want to did deeper.

This project is very interesting(I make EDM as hobby) and I would like to contribute. So I'll just check out some tutorials on FLTK and get back? Any other pointers? @monocasual

monocasual commented 4 years ago

FLTK should be 80% of the job. The rest is about persistence, i.e. reading and writing JSON with JSON for modern C++.

AK04 commented 4 years ago

Neat. I'll work on this.

AK04 commented 4 years ago

Hey @monocasual , is there a chat forum for the devs where I can ask questions?

monocasual commented 4 years ago

This is the place for dev discussion. Feel free to ask anything you want, we are here to help :)

AK04 commented 4 years ago

Hey, I might take a while on this. I just got some other work assigned to me but I will definitely be back later :). BTW installing FLTK on windows is a pain in the a**.

monocasual commented 4 years ago

Take your time @AK04 ! And yes, FLTK is painful: #153 will help...
