sure - I'm not criticizing this - as I said I like the knobs, and I
agree the colors are very aesthetic.
However it would IMHO be even better if the colors were used more
consistently:
fi: freq related controls: blueish; gain: red; mode settings: green
time-related: yellow; generic controls: gray
linear controls could be brighter than log.
Parameters which are more commonly tweaked while the instance is running
could be more saturated as opposed to others that are set just once. but
making that decision is kind of tricky.
I'm just curious if there's more to it than aesthetic and "local"
consistency (zita-rev all the freq-ctrls are gray and the gain is blue;
zita-at1: blue is used for tuning-freq and gray for bias & smoothing)
I don't have access to the NDA zita-eq which may use yet other colors.

And Fons has, most importantly, refrained from using Godzilla Green,
that terribly saturated affront to eyesight, and good taste, that some
seem to find necessary in other apps to attempt some semblance of
affinity with hardware equivalents.

Hello all,
Two new Jack apps are available at the usual place:
Zita-at1: Autotuner.
Zita-rev1: Stereo or Ambisonic reverb.
More info at <http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio>
Enjoy !
I'm curious: is there a system behind which colors you choose for each
of the parameter knobs for zita-rev1 and zita-at1?
It's a minor thing and way beyond 0.1.X, but once you release the plugin
API and host-app it'll benefit from consistent coloring of knobs
according to function and/or range.
For all I know it's likely already on your ToDo list or I've missed
something :)
Anyway, the knobs are very nice: both in functionality and I like the
look & feel.
2c,
robin
