    I checked and in fact I put it on the alpha juno II page because on the TAL site it's noted that it's an emulation of the alpha juno II. Do you think I should also put it on the alpha juno 1 page?

    Hi @pixel13, very nice work! I've just visited your museum and found, among others, the SIEL Opera 6 that was my first synth and an emulation (made with Reaktor). I was able to download the zip file to use within Reaktor but the link you mention in the description (http://www.meis-software.eu/bit31/soap-opera6.html) is no longer functional.

    @pixel13 Hello, that's a crazy amount of work you put out there. Feeding the database, editing the images, writing the code.
    It's definitely useful and can keep growing. :yes:
    I'd recommend sorting the synth names alphabetically (asc-desc). That was my first thought when trying to poke around.

    I recently created a synth related app, if you want to build something else I'm open to collaborate!

    here's a proper clickable link

    https://virtualsynthesizers.com/

    Interesting site, if you are css style sheets for your design, you might want to provide an alternate or two for people to try out different looks, I find the black on black a bit difficult to see clearly. at least on the keyboard page, you could try black on gray or black on cream/ivory. I'm using firefox. I'll have to try it in brave(chrome)

    its been decades since i coded any web pages, but here's some template links to give you ideas if you want to try changings designs.

    One idea is to use a different color/shade on different pages to make it simple to tell your in a new section.

    here's a link to check out

    https://uicookies.com/free-simple-website-templates/

    and

    https://colorlib.com/wp/free-html5-website-templates/

    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=web+page+templates&t=brave&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images

    Great idea though, and I'll have to spend some time on your site... have you got a forum yet?

    Hello Garamondo Furbish :)
    Thanks for your suggestions and no, there's no forum at the moment, I'll wait a little longer. I currently have between 500 and 800 visits a day and I'm afraid the forum is a bit empty, do you think I'm wrong? Do you think I should set it up anyway?

    The internet is a repository of knowledge. A forum would be another way to increase and preserve knowledge, also with a view to newer generations of musicians and interested parties. I would also like to encourage you to set up a forum if you have the time. Everyone starts small, and it grows over time.

    Hello ricbm710 :),
    You're right about the alphabetical order, but surprising as it may seem, I'm having trouble setting it up, I can't figure out how to do it even though I'm trying. I'm going to spend a little more time on it.

    Your game is nice, I tested it :), I'll see about putting a link on the site if you want. If you have any other ideas, let me know :)

    yes, set it up, it always starts at zero, its the nature of numbers... just think when you have 1 visitor you will have doubled your forum traffic, 4 and you've quadrupuled it,

    TDPRI is a guitar forum, the name is pointeless, but people have been going there for 2 decades, and most of the forum chitchat is insane,silly, stupid, and very repetitve, BUT, its a great repository of knowledge about building guitars, buying guitars and amps and pedals, my point is knowledege will accumulate which is great, and point 2 when you set it up, block all political posts and block the folks who make them after a warning or 2 or 3, or it will just become a mud hole..

    https://www.tdpri.com/forums/bad-dog-cafe.18/

    btw though the layout is a bit bland, it is easy to read, it uses a cream/light yellow background...

    Thank you for this message, I understand what you are telling me. You're right, reading comfort is indeed optimal. Pretty is good, but comfortable is better.

    In the early days of the internet, everything was a paradise. Everything was new. People followed the rules. There was hardly any advertising. Then the whole thing took a turn for the worse. We were inundated with advertising. Forums were shut down by users who couldn't behave.

    When companies woke up and saw the internet as a new market, the destruction began... If you tell the truth, it's considered fake news, and if you say something against the woke, you're called a right-winger. I'm curious to see where this all ends!

    I think that it would be ok. also, consider putting U-NO-LX in Juno 106 section.
