ChrisX1010109mo agoI'm not sure if this is something wanted in this repo, but it helped me while experimenting with some effects locally, so thanks!
There's a minor issue: if you press play with an effect and then change the effect, the start/stop controls don't sync correctly and stops working as expected.
Also this is surely a personal preference, but I changed the knob dragging from horizontal to vertical: dragging up increases the value, dragging down decreases it. This matches the behavior in GarageBand and feels more natural to me.
You are most welcome, sir! I am glad it helped someone at least, it is still a prototype and as you said experiment, the issue for the audio automatically stopping after switching is due to the convert.c file, I had a similar issue with my TUI Linus originally approved I can make, I think it is the same issue here too and I can fix it, but yeah please feel free to commit any changes and the scroll bar regarding tuning is a cooler concept for a GUI imho, so yeah. Feel free to share the code and I will work on fixing these issues for the weekend and let's get it working! 🙂
