@ stefan: please let me know what you think of it when you had a look 😀 . hope you like it

Unfortunately I can't try the DLL out right now, and the exe crashes here.

hmmmm 🙁 🙁 🙁 i have tried the exe several times before and it seems to work. i don´t know the reason, i will post the schematic soon so you can have a look at it

It might be something with this computer. Never had any issues with SM exe's before though. I'll give it another try at home later on.

on no, it was my fault 😊 😊 😊 i included the wrong exe in the rar package because of (almost) same names 😊 😊 😊

but i´ve edited the post once again and now it is the right exe in the rar. if ouy had not told me this i think i had allready mailed the synth to hundreds of people without the knowledge that it crashes, so thx for the quick answer & help !!!! 😉

Now it works! It can make some sweet sounds! Ofcourse, the multi-ramp oscillator suffers from aliasing noise, so don't play too high tones 🙂

Nice synth, IMO i would put the octave/fine tune before the Osc's rather than after the ADSR but it doesn't matter much i guess 😉

@ tom7777: you´re right but i love doing things another way then they were normally done 😉 😉 😉

the gui look's fine 🙂 the only thing i would suggest to add is a little switch to turn off each osc, that way if you wanted to you could just use one or two, and then if you want a 'bigger sound' you could use all four, obviously you could just turn the volume down on each one but i alway's think it's handy to be able to just turn them off. it wouldn't affect the gui to much, you only need a little switch in each corner of the osc's.

@ exonerate: you´re right, it is a lot easier to use a switch than the volume slider, i will fix that right now... thx for your reply.
