Poly Zazel #74
Description
Extending Zazel to control 16 parameters. Info copied from Discord
Here is a VERY rough sketch of one way that a PolyZazel MIGHT be laid out. I'm trying to think about the end goal of expressively modulating a parameter over time and this layout felt like it may point in the right direction. That's why the shape knobs are in different locations on the left and right sides. This is on a 24 HP blank for reference. A wider module might help fit things comfortably but I didn't want this thing to become a beast either. I tried to change some of the labels to reflect the proposals from above
The red light indicates what the different windows are displaying. The top row shows that the control mapping is set up for the left side. Row three is a one shot and we see its mapping and easing info in their windows. I just realized there are 8 One Shot buttons missing for the other side so those would need to go in over there.
Here is how I think it might operate.
- Click the Map window to put it in "write" mode.
- Click an Easing wheel to set the side. The light changes to match the knob clicked by the user
- Click a control to modulate on another module
- Proceed as with a normal Zazel
Ins and Outs are through the Poly cables. This means the user will need a Split module to get CV out, but I don't think that's a problem since they'll need a Merge to get CV into it
Let me know what questions come up from this, I'm sure there will be a few. Also, the sketch is trying to capture functionality with a nod to usability. However, I am in no way an expert on interface design and am not attached to that layout. Feel free to chop it up and remix it however you feel wold work best to capture the Studio Six Plus One style.
