Custom Graphics

[Evh0u812]

Just wondering if its possible for me to do some custom artwork that could be included in the firmwares?
Happy to create some that i think are missing from the standard Tonex library if Greg is open to it?
Id love to contribute.

Hi. Are you meaning the amp/pedal skin images? At the moment the issue there is storing them.
I'm am currently working on changing the storage method to make more space available though.

[Evh0u812]

Yes the skin images. I'd be happy to do a set of custom ones to expand the range of you want to get in touch . Just need to know the resolution and dimension the images use and I can throw some together. I was trying to get a hold of you privately but couldn't fine a contact link on any of your socials.

This sort of thing. Although I see IK have updated their models lately to include the Diezel Soldano and a few others.

I'm reluctant to ask you to do work, when I'm not sure if I wil be able to store it in the memory. Right now there is no space. but yes I am working on fixing that. I don't yet have this working yet.

[Evh0u812]

No problem. If you figure out its possible please let me know. Happy to contribute.

Getting back to this – I'd love to see artwork corresponding to the amp/cab/effects and I'm capable and willing to contribute if needed. I don't think that it needs photorealistic representations. If we'd go for a simpler reproduction, reduce the amount of colours and store only the pixel size that is really needed, the files could be really small.

How much space could you realistically free up, @Builty ?

With V2.0.1.2, I was able to make things much better. You can find the curent skins here:
https://github.com/Builty/TonexOneController/tree/main/skins_png

And the converted bin files here, that actually go into memory (the graphic library prefers this bin format over PNG so a convert tool is used):

Currently amp/pedal skins combined are about 5.7MB, and I have room another approx. 4MB.

Reduced colors can get trricky with the alpha channels, as indexed color changes the alpha channel from 8 bit to 1 bit, so edges may not be nice anymore.
