If I make a standalone version of my synth what tempo will be read in for tempo-syncing?

Uhm, how about "whichever you feed it"? What was your approach so far?

Just to create the standalone .exe file on my desktop and run in. How does it get tempo information in to it? Would it be dependant on my soundcard or is there a default tempo I should expect?

If the VST gets its tempo information from its host then where does the standalone get it from?

Just don't mind me, I completely overread the word "standalone"... Must be blind or something.

Apart from that, I think that it is quite the reverse of what you are thinking. When you load your vst into a host, it is wanted that you make it receive its tempo (through the module that I just forgot the name of). When creating a standalone you of course have to set this tempo yourself. So maybe you would add a switch into your vst and have both, the host tempo and a set tempo. You could then let the user choose which tempo he wants and offer him a dial for that maybe.

    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.
