Cantabile Development Blog

All starting to come together!

The new UI is now starting to come together nicely with all plugin and rack manipulation complete (including cut/copy/paste), the metronome and transport buttons all wired up and I've started on a third ribbon tab for setup and configuration type options.

It's been a while since I've put up some screen shots so here's how things are looking.

Made a few changes to the home tab, including a new Replace Plugin button:

The new Setup tab, with buttons to configure just about everything. Still need icon artwork, but most of these buttons are functional.

Plugin Tools menu with all commands wired up and working:

New look program selector displays up to four columns and has vertical scroll bar when needed:

I've split the rack MIDI-In selector into a device selector (normally there'd be more devices listed at the bottom of this menu but the x64 Vista machine that I used for these screen shots has no other MIDI drivers)...

... and channel selector: (these were combined in Cantabile 1.2)

The target rack and MIDI-Out selector is pretty much the same as 1.2:

And finally, the rack and plugin slots now have context menu's for common editing commands:

Next up is metronome beat indicators and system load meter which will probably be in the status bar.
