Surge Synth

Surge Synth is an open source project that I contributed to. It is a personal project and a labor of love, but I recently ran out of time to stay involved.

I contributed a small amount of C++ code, interaction design, and UI assets.

UI Assets

I got involved with the project because the GUI needed to scale to larger sizes.

We needed it to work well on modern monitor resolutions because, at its native size, it was too small.

We decided to recreate the last shipped GUI from the commercial version of the plugin so we could start from a known, usable baseline.

We had the bitmap assets from the synth and that was it. There were no source files, so I rebuilt the UI as vector assets from scratch.

Later, I also created a more modern dark mode for the synth.

Both are pictured below.
