A number of people have expressed, publicly in forums and privately to me, an interest in designing RE UIs. Coming up with an original design is a very different process from redesigning a pre-existing RE or recreating one in 3D. But unless you're already developing REs, you don't normally get a chance to think up the first design. So here's your chance.
To be extra clear, I am not looking for someone to design my synth for me. I'm making no promise to use anyone's design as the actual design for the synth upon release. This is just an opportunity to try your hand at designing, instead of redesigning, and then I hope you share your design with the community here. That being said, I haven't done the actual device design yet, but when I do, I may consider whatever designs are posted here. If I want to use your design, I'll reach out and see if we can work something out. But no promises.
So here are the rules: There are no rules. This is just for fun, so do whatever you want. As an incentive for people to share their work, I promise to give away one license to the designer behind whatever I deem to be the best design. I have no idea what "best" means, so it'll be entirely subjective. However, there must be at least five different designs submitted by five different people in order to trigger the free license giveaway. (Sorry, but if you're the only one who posts a design, you're not going to get the free license by default.) In terms of deadline, let's say July 20. That gives everyone two weekends.
And finally, here's a video about the synth. (Why is the BBCode for youtube videos not enabled here?)
Here are links to a Reason screen cap and a high-res render.
And here's the synth just waiting to be designed:
Questions?
Good luck!
