Hi, i was building a VST Effect . I made it stereo. If i use it on a stereo track in Cubase, everything is OK...but if i use it on a MONO track in Cubase, it doesn't work , audio plays like thru a gate or something... do i need to do something special in order to make it work in MONO also? or maybe i just made mistakes in the plug ?

will post OSM if needed...(i feel ashamed in exposing my poor ability in design and my spaghetti-garbled schematics...😉 )

ok, schematics here...but please don't laugh 😉

basically.. it has a 16 step sequencer

-colored bars control filter cutoff -one row of buttons (1st from the top) sends signals to a saturator -another row of buttons (2nd one) send signals to a bitcrusher

effects are applied in parallel (how can i make the work serially? i tried with a multiplexer but no luck...), the they go into a compressor and then into the filter

it's of course a very alpha phase, i want to add more effects to be toggled by the buttons...

I guess a mono version should send the same signal to both channels, right? Guess you might have to make a mono version out of the stereo version?

yes, that is waht i thought... so i need to make two different version of the same plug if i want it to work on mono tracks?

I think so 🙂

How about 4-in? (or maybe Ableton Live can't handle a VST w/more than stereo?)

    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.
