Thanks!

I have Yamaha, Samson & Tascam, but for this I used the parts & colors that
looked easiest of all 3. Same for the layout, whatever looked easiest to
program.
The main macro takes #of input_channels & #of output_channels so far. But
the
idea is that I could specify different layouts to build different types of
boards.
(Not different brands, but say a recording board, a board for large clubs,
or a
small powered mixer.)  The main macro then calls the builder macros to build
the
board from a number of part building macros.

Heh heh, modeling was low priority, was working on arguments & scope  ;-)

Damn drummers!

Still working on that, its a texture and haven't figured how to change it on
the fly
yet.... maybe a texture array...

Only on analog... my Tascam is digital & it stops at 0db. Weird.

Hmm, have to try it. It does kinda have that knob/dial testosterone
appeal...

Haven't tried the rounded shapes yet, I'll have to look. Or I suppose I
could
just add toruses to these...

Cool! Is that all POV?  I like your toggles & jacks!

Good idea...

You're right! I forgot to difference the console. Thanks for noticing!

AA I think maybe helped by lighting.  Line is there.

Funny, last time I bought a board about 6-7 years ago, they were all like
that,
very colorful.  I looked at some today at a music store & they were all in
basic
black, gray, stainless steel & aluminum. Occasionally a somber blue.  Deep.

Thanks for the comments! If I get time I'll try some out & post an update.
Now to convert boards, knobs & dials to walls, doors & windows & see if
there's an IRTC entry in here somewhere!
