Final Touches

The project is now at a point I would say it is complete. Although there is always ways to improve a project like this, it is now at a point where I can say it is finished. All the elements work well together and the visuals look great. Finishing touches is all I needed to do now.

Finished whole view of patch

This is how the patch looks. I have used panels to sepearate the elements into different sections. The green panels are all the controls and inputs etc for the 3D rendered bars. The blue on the right of the patch are the 3D rendered spheres. The pink at the bottom is the controls to separate out the MIDI In key messages. The top includes all the various controls for the sythesiser.

What I have added since the last post is various controls for the visualiser. It now includes a control to select a different background colour for the visualiser. There are now hotkeys to control elements. Around the project there are a few comments on what each part of the patch does. Finally, there are instructions at the top to how to use the visualiser.

After adding in these elements, I decided to create something in presentation mode so that there were minimal controls for the visualiser. This keeps it easy to use and it's so almost anyone can use it without any knowledge of how Max works.
