I Hate Knobs (II)Sun, 27 May 2007 09:33 in Studio, Computers This post continues a previous discussion. Click here for the first in the series. Having complained about the state of standards in user interface widgets in virtual hardware (soft-synths and FX modules) in the world of digital audio workstations, I will offer a list of design attributes that I consider important when designing a UI:
These go somewhat beyond the standards as laid out in documents from Apple and Microsoft (for example), but I think there is some room for inovation here, especially in this area, and especially on the Windows platform. Next, I'll propose some additional "standard" UI controls and how they might be used in a theoretical peice of virtual hardware. This discussion continues here. |
