I i have a question... Is possible to convert the output of SM as ASM to a c++ program? How it is worth?

why would you want to do that?

Stepping back to C++ you'd loose performance, since equivalent C++ code is probably a bit more redundant thus slower.

You could embed SSE assembly code copypasted from SM into C++ code, e.g. using the SSE intrinsics using some brainwork. Here is a good example: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/sseintro.aspx

But it's of course possible to translate ASM code back to C code (either by using tools or the good old pencil&paper method)

Ohohoh... i don't think i have time to learning this kind of conversion.......... Will be cool to embed ASM to C++.... but... if i add ASM the C++ will not provide me the thing i want: portability. True?

If you learn C++ for audio, you have to learn inline ASM. Intel ASM will work on all Intel CPU chips.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    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.
