Hi,

I'm a total newbie but thanks to the great help of people on here I've managed to get a Synth up and running that I'm happy with. However I have 2 fundamental problems:

- Every time the user starts the application they have to select "Primary Sound Driver" from the audio menu. Is there a way to set this as a default?

- I can't select which MIDI channel to respond to. I need to create 2 versions of the synth, 1 to respond to channel 1 and the other (using a different base sample) to respond to MIDI channel 10. I have a feeling I need to insert a MIDI splitter somewhere along the line but it's a bit beyond me right now.

Can anyone help please!?

Many thanks,

Simon

PS I attach the OSM for reference.

Try using the Midi Event instead of the Note Event

you need the midi in and DS Out on the outside of the synth when exporting.

and for the midi selector i'm not quite sure may'be try this:

hey simon, use the midi event like aliasant said it works wonders 😉

Here's a true channel selector - using the note event primitive is not so good, as it fixes the lengths of notes. this version will also filter controllers etc. so that you can have MIDI control of knobs etc. Setting the channel to zero removes the filtering for an 'any channel' setting.

Guys,

Thank you so much. I now have MIDI channel selection working perfectly!

Only remaining issue is that since moving the In and Out outside of the main VSTi module, the correct MIDI input device is no longer being selected by default (although my Primary Sound Driver is now being selected by default as I need it to be).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Simon

try using the midi in select module???

BTW, that test OSC is handy! Where did that come from please?

This is very strange. If I put the MIDI In Select inside the module the right device gets selected by default but if I put it outside the module the default doesn't work automatically any more. The opposite is true of the default device on the DS Out.

I need this synth to work automatically as it's launched in the background of another app. Anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks,

Simon

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
