transparent image and bitmap out.

[moody33]

- Transparent images are only possibles with png or gif files. do you plan to add these options?
-Since the "steps " modules have a "small" bars option, it make possible to build pianoroll patches. But only in mono..If the stpes modules could have a bitmap out, then it could be possible to build a kinf of polyphonic pianoroll with steps modules. Isn't it?

Another suggestions : array to bitmap ?

hi moody33,

For this, assuming your bitmaps are all the same size, you can manage with a fader.
Just make a bigger bitmap file with all your pictures in line *or* in column.
When you affect this bitmap to a fader, don't forget to set the right number of frames, then, when you affect a value 'n' to the fader, it shows the picture #'n'.
If your pictures are disposed in column, just set the 'vertical' switch to ON.
This is a fader used as a kind of array. It works with Controls that can manage multiframe pictures: 2 frames for switches, 1 to 128 for faders and knobs.
But, as far as I know, you cannot route this picture to another control.

cheers

the main pb is that transparent stuffs are very slow.
I'm still in test procedure to find the best way to do that.
I hope for that the future v5?
