skins

[mj335]

Hi,
maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm new to Samplitude 6.xx (I've been using samp 5.xx
for several years). How does one go about making or editing a skin? I've seen some with really cool looking knobs etc.. Thanks.

Well there are two sides to this -
1. Making the Grafics - use your favorite "paint" program and experiment with the existing skins to get a start on that.
2. The Mixer.ini, Transport.ini and Vip.ini
can be edited to change the shape and layout of the whole skin - this is a very daunting task as there is not much help around and you need to jump in the deep end and ask questions if you get stuck.
You've probably seen my collection of user skins over at http://m.armsby.exhome.de
I also have a skin for V5.8 which was my first attempt at the graffics cause I wanted more contrast. http://m.armsby.exhome.de/MackieVer58.zip
Make a backup of the Bitmaps directory before you start ...

cheers
