Hello everyone, this my first of (I hope) many post here!

I'm trying SynthMaker to made a project for my institute, but well, after a couple of hours messing with the modules and reading the Manuals I have a doubt.

There's anyway to launch a Xhz test tone inside SynthMaker so I don't have to export to vst and load the plug in the DAW and hear the noise burst....

I'm trying to add an some Harmonic content to a signal, so I need to try send the Test tone and see how my algorithm is working.

Thank you!

For a constant tone:

You can use the Wave Player for wave playback, or you can build a rudimentary synth with some kind of automated note repeat if you need envelope.

hey welcome to SM land 😉 i made a really simple test tone generator a few years ago. you can find it here: simple test tone generator it is VERY basic, means you can only switch the tone on and off, when switched ON it will play a Sinewave at 440 Hz at full Volume. there are more complex "test-tone-generators" available here in the forum, but i am sure after having some deeper looks inside some examples you can really soon create your own one with all the options you need 🙂

EDIT: hehe, oddson was faster with the answer 😀

Hey! Thank you guys for the help!

@oddson

I tried the setup that you showed but I can't figure it out how to "make it sound"

@philter5

Your osm sounds! but I can't copy it to my session and/or imported (I can't find the option)

😝

Do you have either a "direct sound out" or "asio out" module in your schematic? In order for the mono (blue) section to be processed, you need to have one of these in there and activated.

hahaha stupid me! I had a DS out module in the end, I changed for an ASIO OUT (like in the philter5 test tone osm) and now it sounds!!!!

Thank you for the help! I will be continued bunging around here :P

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

    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.
