(ignore) How to make a simple ADSR VST effect, what inputs?

It's hard to say without a screenshot or example, but for effects you will need to have 2 mono inputs and 2 mono outputs then it should be able to export as an effect.

🙁 I gathered that much, but the problem seems to be getting 2 mono inputs into the module. It seems I don't yet understand what is required to go from mono to poly.

Below is a simple synth I created in which the "boxed" part is what I wish to make into a standalone VST effect.

Thanks again for all your patience and help!

If you're making a VST effect, why do you want to go from mono to poly streams?

Usually, when working on non-polyphonic audio you don't convert it to polyphonic streams, instead you just make the whole schematic a mono section.

Nevermind... I figured it out! 🙂

All the modules I were using had poly ins and outs because they were originally set up with a poly signal at the beginning of the chain.

I didn't realize it was as simple as connecting a mono input at the beginning of the chain, disconnecting everything, then reconnecting so that they were all showing mono instead of poly. 😕

Good times. Love SM.

Thanks for putting up with a noob!
