Step by step tutorial to create your own knob, faders and use them in Usine.

We use the cool freeware tool named knobman

Use the Files/Open menu and open, for example /samples/LineShadow.knob. .knob files are knobman files.

On the right window you can test the knob layout, and you'll see that it has 31 frames.

in Usine

Add a control-knob in a patch.

In the knob settings-panel, tab design, click on image file and load the png file saved above.

Set frames count to 31, and frame alignment=vertical.

Disable show knob, show caption. and choose V align to bottom for the value

In the settings-panel, clicks on the snapshot icon and choose a name. Now you can see this snapshot when you edit the layout of a knob. You only have to click on this snapshot to assign this layout to your current knob
