ok so a user can control the synth via midi using the keyboard which is cool, I was thinking that a "Keypress To Float" would be very cool with the keys set to a value eg 1 for A, 2 for B, 3 for C ect like there order in the alphabet. This way you could have the synth set out really well for a live set environment where the user presses for example F which = 6 that controls the filter panels switch ect. If you wanted to go one further you could have every key mapped and then you could use the arrow keys up and down connected up to sliders and counters to do some cool things 🙂 I guess there would have to be a page about it on the site or forum post though cos there would be alot of values but not too much info would have to be written just the amounts each key equals.

A "Keypress To String" would be cool and then you would be able to do the same sort of thing with colors ect press R for red, G for green ect or use it to type in realtime and rename patches type stuff. Im sure you get the sort of thing i mean and how it would be useful. I hope you like this idea. Thanks 🙂

Hi Tom,

We have already created some components for doing this but there are some issues we need to sort out. These will be coming soon.

    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.
