It’s important to understand that all three layers will rotate when you rotate the knob, except for their shadows. It has a radial gradient that makes it look spherical, and a blurred light circle around it that separates it from the inner circle nicely. Now, #3 is a round piece that I call the center. That creates the look that the inner circle is embossed in the control. It contains the nicks and has an opposite shadow to the inner circle. #1 is the outer circle, it has small dents on it and shadow that falls from the top left corner to the bottom right corner almost as a linear gradient. We start with separating everything we draw into layers: If you have some experience making custom analog-looking controls, then you know where to start. However, please be warned it is not completed and you will need to fix or finish few things before you can use this code in your own app. I’ve included the source into this article. You can imagine that it also clicks when you rotate it – and our Android replica will also make that sound! Also, an important property is that this knob does not rotate smoothly but switches from one nick to another. ![]() This type of control is often used for browsing through a list of options that can be wrapped around. Today I’d like to share my experience of re-creating a knob that looks like this:Īs you can guess, this type of knob does not have min/max bounds and can be freely rotated as much as you want. There is also space for an enormous 200 user kits.For some reason, I really enjoy recreating analog components on Android. These can be dialled in using an LED rotary dial alongside compression and ambience (taken from the actual room mics of the recorded samples). These are balanced with a number of electronic style kits which seem to be mostly there to showcase the vast effects available within the DTX-PROX. The module has 70 built-in kit presets which for the most part are made up of fantastic acoustic samples. On a similar note, it’s worth mentioning that any changes to kit settings need to be saved before advancing to a different kit or powering down the module otherwise they will revert to default. For example, quiet practice at home vs full-on gig mode, or even a configuration that uses acoustic triggers. Thankfully multiple trigger settings can be saved and recalled for different playing situations. We found that we had to dig in on the toms more than usual while the cymbals are the opposite by default. The module itself is relatively plug-and-play, although extra time spent tweaking the trigger parameters to your own playing style will be greatly rewarded. The setup is completed with a heavy duty Hex-style rack (RS10-HXR) plus stands for the hi-hat and snare pads. Both kits are powered by Yamaha’s DTX-PROX module which is brimming with incredible features such as high quality samples, individually assignable multi-fx, space for 1000 user samples, recording to USB memory, recording via USB audio, Bluetooth audio (brilliant for playing along to tracks from a smart device), equaliser and setlist creation, to name a few. The DTX10K-M and DTX10K-X both feature two 10” and one 12” tom pads, 12” snare pad, 12” bass drum pad, 13” hi-hat, 13” and 15” crash cymbals. There are two variants of the DTX10, one of which comes with mesh heads and the other Yamaha’s proprietary TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) heads. Available in Real Wood or Black Forest finishes, the wooden shells go some way to giving the DTX10 an acoustic kit aesthetic (also helped by the chrome Yamaha lugs) however a middle ground is struck between the more low-profile electronic pads and the deeper toms that we all recognise from our acoustic kits.
