I have left this in for those that have these controls, but sadly Sasha deleted his website and appears to have left the SE community, so they are no longer available. Whether he will return to the SE community no one knows, we have been unable to contact him.
Sasha, one of the 3rd party module developers has released some SVG controls for SynthEdit. These modules are not free (only in a demo mode), but cost 49 Euro, and are available here.
These controls have two main advantages:
1) They can be re-sized with no loss of quality.
2) Highly customizable.
The basic set of control is shown below.
The Help Files.
s SVG Control:
This is the module on which all the SVG controls can be created. It displays SVG files and makes them interactive by using @commands, and animation
Filename: (Text) Supplies the SVG file path.
Animation X/Y: (Floating Point) These plugs send and receive (exactly as the default SE controls) the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) animation position of the control as a GUI Float value between 0 and 1.
Modulation Value: (Floating Point) The input plug for animation modulation. This animates each layer which name contains the “@modulate” command with the modulation value. This must be connect to a Patch Memory Float Out’s Value pin. Input is scaled so that 0-10 corresponds to the default of 0-1.
List Choice: (Integer) Sends and receives index value of the selected List Item as with other SynthEdit sub-controls.
List Items: (Text) Input for the list of items. Any input other than blank makes module the operate in a stepped mode, a blank input allows for a
continuous (un-stepped) movement of the control. A single item input makes the module operate in trigger (on-off) mode. Each list item’s text will replace the “@item” text in the SVG file.
Note: For the stepped option to operate correctly there must be the same number of List items as there are list choices. Important: the Integer list for choices must start at 0, not 1 if there are 5 List Items, then the List Choice shall be 0,1,2,3,4.
Mouse Down (X/Y): (Boolean) Outputs mouse pressed state.
@image: (Text) Supplies the bitmap file path. The Bitmap is displayed on a rectangle in the layer name (in the SVG file) which contains the “@image” command.
@label: (Text) Inputs the text string which is used for replacing the “@label” text in the SVG file.
@value: (Text) Input to supply the value text. This is used for replacing the “@value” text in the SVG file when the mouse pointer is over the control. Note about Hover: For the @value text to be visible the Opacity Normal value in the s SVG Control’s properties must be set to 0.
All Color plugs: How to specify the colours- This is either standard HTML colour names (i.e. Red, Orange, Yellow…), or hex color codes in the following formats: #RGB, #ARGB, #RRGGBB, #AARRGGBB.
@color: (Text) Input for the main control colour.
Cap: (Text) Input for the colour of the cap on the control knob.
Neon: (Text) Input for the hover text colour, and the “slot” for the slider control.
Pointer: (Text) Input for the colour of the pointer control knob.
Print: (Text) Input for the default text and scale colours.
Hint: (Text) Input for hint text (mouse hover)
Menu Items: (Text) Input for context menu items
Menu Selection: (Integer) Outputs the context menus item index value.
Position (X/Y): (Floating Point) Outputs the mouse pointers horizontal (X) and/or vertical (Y) position in the normalized floating point range (0.0 to 1.0)
Mouse Over: (Boolean) Outputs the mouse hover state.
Shown below are the controls Sasha has provided as pre-fabs with the SVG module pack.
