Koala is super bland.
You know when Van Gogh painted the sunflowers? Guess what he was looking at .
Creativity within composition feeds on visual stimuli , if your senses are fed with bland lifeless shite , imagine what your creations will turn out like.
Garbage in.... garbage out.
The Van Gogh metaphor holds up irrefutably , it’s about surroundings ,environment , immersion and stimulus.
It’s cool if you don’t get the concept , not everyone does.
That’s why some people are professional composers and others are risk assessment officers for the local council.
Nonsense, the Mutable Instruments designs are not bland, minimalist perhaps but they have a distinct and instantly recognisable aesthetic. If you look closer at some panels, e.g. clouds, you will see subtle patterns. The colour and shape of knobs, font etc, its doesn't look like lab equipment like say Doepfer modules. But of course its not as wacky as say Noise Engineering or Make Noise.
Van Gogh is a genius, I love his stuff. As for music it about listening to sound, visual is nice and function is desired. Mainly great musicians are blind. The developer is concerned about people who are visually impaired. So simple big GUI would help them.
A 'neutral ui' goes a long ways especially if the stuff under it is deep and one is willing to invest some time learning it.
We can take S_nV_x as an example. For me it make me to want to dig deeper and explore what it's capable of.
It's pure text and boxes and some graphs but that's it...
So for me the ultimate Plaits module would be a list of parameters that can be changed
🖖🏻
No, please, @burns_audio....
Don’t lose time in the GUI. The most important thing in the port from open source to other platform like iOs is the code, the functions and the stability.
After that, whatever

I'm sure whatever GUI you hold in the highest esteem, someone here would claim it looks like the ugliest thing in the world. It's entirely subjective.. if you fail to see that, then I don't know what to tell you.
My vote's for the plain interface because I always find simplicity to be the most inspiring.
Bleass over Sugarbytes any day of the week.
If composition requires visual stimuli, then how would you explain all the blind musicians out there (many of them brilliant?). I'd argue that visuals impede music making. An ornate harpsichord doesn't make better music.
Nobody said it requires it , I said it feeds on it . As it does with all stimuli whether external or internal. Do you honestly think a blind person dreams and imagines in a lifeless sterile colourless void , that’s quite an ignorant perception.
‘Naive’ might have been a better choice than ‘ignorant’ if you wished to avoid being insulting.
never said that. this is getting silly.
yeah, but when you say "garbage in, garbage out" about something that has no effect on sound, and that hendrix would've taken up oboe if a guitar didn't look cool, (gotta say, I honestly find oboe to be infinitely cooler than guitar, so I'd have loved it if he had) and ultimately that if this free plugin doesn't meet your personal gui standards then somehow it's garbage... it comes across as awfully entitled.
Interesting , yeah next time your oboe band is in LA drop me a pm , I’d love to see that.
Ha ha !
I wonder why some seemingly inoquous threads elicit so many strong emotions?
Fresh air anyone?
Van Gogh used quality palette knives. I can’t imagine he cared what his brushes looked like because they allowed him to take his inspirations and create a masterpiece. THAT is the equivalent metaphor. The palette knife needs to work, it doesn’t matter what it looks like.
Funny thing, because the metaphor actually supports the idea that visual appearance of the tools don’t matter remotely.
The metaphor breaks down because a sound plugin does in fact have a visual component as some musicians need to visualize what we are doing. In sound design, what the tools look like can make them easier to use. Smart design and visual layout can actually help inspire creativity in a sound plugin.
It is really up to each developer to decide if they are going to build something that will be visually inspiring or something that just works great and requires the musician to tinker and explore the sounds or already know what the parameters will do.
I think the MI plugins will be fine with minimal visuals. @burns_audio Can I recommend AUM as visual inspiration? Its graphics are vector-based, very minimal, but well implemented in every way and it just works.

Do you not look at the plugin you are using? Of course you do you pedant.
In some cases the UI can 'restrict' the sound-engine that drives the synth if there is too much focus on the UI and a decision has to be made what parameters to show in order to avoid bloating the UI.
In those cases it would be handy to have a clean 'parameter list mode' with all sound parameters exposed and that mode could be a top down 'slider view' with check-boxes for on/off parameters.
I remember having a discussion with Jim regarding features of Poison-202 and the answers were mostly like 'the function is in the sound-engine but no space for it in the UI'. (These were things like start-phase oscillators & lfos and oscillator polarity which are all there in the sound-engine but no way to access them from the UI).
Anyways, I do hope we'll at least get a taste of the the plug-ins are capable of once the underlying engine is stable.
no better way to make a compelling argument than to start calling people names...
look, if you're so passionate about beautiful, inspiring UI's then by all means, design one. but you're certainly not going to get what you want by slinging insults at people. please keep it civil and constructive.

speaking for myself, I will not be looking at the plugin when I'm using it. like most other plugins I use, I'll map all the parameters to midi a controller and play and sequence from my hardware. As long as cc parameters are exposed and the plugin works, I'm happy. I'd hate for the UI to take up any more resources than necessary.
There's a separate mix between out and aux for both left and right outputs, and the "left source" and "right source" parameters are assignable outputs in the mod matrix, so you can do things like have the LFO or envelope mix between aux and out differently for each ear creating cool stereo effects.
The ipad screen recorder seems to record in mono though, so none of the stereo effects (like pan spread) have really been demonstrated as of yet.
Give me some space for a noob question: these Moduls are routed with cables in a modular context. How do we route it as AUv3. A question that arose beside all thought about GUI
Anyway the codes I saw made me quite excited
