Highstead 0.1.2

Musical tuning readouts and complete interface skin packs.

Musical tuning

  • FREQUENCY tooltips show signed semitone offsets relative to concert pitch, with up to
    two decimal places and no trailing zeroes: 0 st, +12 st, +7.25 st.
  • FINE tooltips show cents instead of raw knob rotation.
  • The frequency readout follows the selected calibration and tuning law. EVEN spans
    -12 to +36 semitones; ANALOG and the drawn circuit follow their own curves.

The readouts describe static tuning at A4, with modulation off and FINE centred for the
FREQUENCY readout. Tuning remains continuous. Audio processing, presets, automation and
typed rotation entry are unchanged.

Complete interface packs

  • Custom .ifskin packs can now dress the stereo strip, keyboard case and preset browser
    as well as the instrument panel.
  • Packs can supply checked fonts, replacement materials, face tint and custom panel height.
    Controls and menus follow the selected height; a host that refuses resizing restores the
    previous look.
  • SETTINGS > LOOK > OPEN SKINS FOLDER opens the shared folder for manual installation.
  • The CC0 starter and full-editor previews help creators make and check their own packs.
    Signed Idle Foundry packs are verified offline through the shared plugin-kit reader.

See the skin-pack guide (docs/skin-packs.md in the source archive) for installation and creation. Packs contain
artwork and data; they do not change the sound, presets or automation.
