Hi,

I've played around with the beta version of the vst plugin wrapper in Synthmaker 0.9.1a. Nice, it loads even complex vsts like the Tassman without problems. As it's a beta I didn't expect it to be fully functional, so perhaps most of my observations are already known bugs or planned features.

Bug: If the vst is placed inside a module (and the midi input and filter outputs are routed through module inputs and outputs) the vst plugin doesn't seem to work anymore. Optional features: It would also be nice if the plugin wrapper could remember presets so that vsts could be used as "black boxes" without the need to open their guis anymore (e.g. in order to make "wrappers" for these nice Tassman PM resonators that could be placed in the toolbox until native Synthmaker equivalents are available 😉 ) Another nice option would be to have access to the automation inputs of the vst if there are any in order to e.g. use powerful vst effects or filterbanks to their full extend and control some of their parameters from a common Synthmaker GUI.

Greetings,

Hi NothanUmber

Interesting that you discovered the beta VST plugin component, it is actually more alpha than beta. The VST hosting components most probably wont be a priority until after v1.0. Version 1.0 will focus on Synth Making but after that we'll probably move into making SM more of a host. Your suggestions will come very handy by the time we get back to VST hosting, so please feel free to post them here. In between doing what's on top of our current list of priorities, I might at some stage take a break to improve the VST hosting a bit with your suggestions

    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.
