I've contacted the dev to no reply so far (about 3 weeks have elapsed).
Granted, they have mentioned in their Github that they are rewriting it for optimization, so maybe that's the priority.

Given that it's open source, though, in the mean time, might anyone know of someone online who could get into the code and correct the problem?

Are AI's good enough to fix this? Hahaha...

Bugginess aside, the synth does work and sounds great, just that because a bit of the bottom is cut off and the scaling feature doesn't work, it's a bit unusable. Has anyone who's tried this synth having a similar problem?

Resonarium 0.0.11 ---> https://github.com/gabrielsoule/resonarium/releases/tag/v0.0.11

Hi @Sackbut, I tested the GUI and attached the images. One of Cakewalk Sonar and one of Studio One.
Do you perhaps have a picture of the problem? Which operating system do you use?

 

Thanks, PW. Does the rescale work for you?
I use both OS's (Mac silicon & Win 11) and run Ardour DAW.
I am on another computer ATM, but will retest it later to double-check. It's possible that the scroll feature confused me.

 

I used the scaling in the lower right corner to make the GUI smaller, and it works.

 

Ok, I just double-checked it and may have found the problem: I have version 0.0.10 apparently. Yours says 0.0.11. I could have sworn I had downloaded the latter, but anyway, I'll try to download the latest and try again. Thanks again, PW!

Edit: Wait a minute, yours also says 0.0.10 alpha. So we seem to have the same one. What's going on?

I have the (Mac) title bar up top as well as a bar below that for the basic DAW info like sidechain access and whatnot and was thinking that if I knew how to remove those two bars, Resonarium should fit exactly as you have it. Yours doesn't have those two headers above Resonarium's header bar. That's probably why yours fits, although the scaling doesn't work for me, even after a DAW restart. I might throw the question later to Ardour's dev.

What's your OS?

For Windows there was a tool named "KDE Mover-Sizer" which enabled (by adding a key combo) to drag any window, no matter where you grab it with your mouse.
Was very helpful back in the days when the new "Netbooks" (very small laptops) came out but their displays resolution was so low that even the Windows settings windows was too big for the screen. Used it a lot to move windows "above the screen" to reach their bottom corner.

Maybe you can find such a tool for mac as well, then you could move the window anyway to reach the scaling feature.

Edit 2: I also noticed that I'm running a previous version of my DAW, so I'll upgrade it, even though, for various reasons, I'd rather not. ('Oh these delinquent end-users!')

BTW, were you able to operate your KDE Mover-Sizer upside-down like in your icon? I suppose you'd have to be pretty fast. /dad-joke-mode, bargain-bin-section

Windows 11

 

Thanks. I'll upgrade my DAW, reinstall Resonarium and see what happens.

 

This could be the solution:
https://github.com/mikker/Moves.app/releases

Video from the developer:

It's basically KDE Mover-Sizer for MacOS and it's free unlike other possible solutions like Rectangle Pro.

You can resize & drag windows from any area of the window by holding a key combo on your keyboard.
That way you could try dragging the plugin window in an area where you reach the scaling option.
