Hi all,

Now that synthmaker has become the heart of many VST DEVELOPERS its high time we start a video tutorial and user pdf forum/blog.

I am working on a multisampler project using synthmaker and will e posting the osm very soon.

Planning to add video tutorials and instruction manuals in .pdf and in .mpeg,.mov formats for component referrence and usage of them in making a complete vst aplication....

I like being able to go to the wiki as a central source of tutorials

Were you planning to do a wiki tutorial that at least describes the pdf/video and links to it?

I agree 🙂

It's cool that you're doing all that. Esp good that you're somewhat new, & understand the frustrations of a newbie... I've been around SM too long to remember that 😉

Thanks. I'm hoping to eventually add some things to it too, once I gain a decent understanding.

I would be VERY interested in video examples! 🙂

Video Tutorials - YESSS!

MDMA ·

Please make a video that focus on code and logic, that would be great.

It would be nice to have some video on the Wiki. I think that would be very useful and from a new user's perspective. Considering the prevalence of YouTube I'm surprised we don't have tons of video already.

As infuzion points out there are some results at YouTube but they taper off very quickly after the first page. Considering what you find with a Synthedit search maybe some videos would help ignite more interest in Synthmaker. I suppose we might get more love from Outsim if they were to sell a few more copies ... maybe then we get Ruby.

Anyone with a forum login can edit the WiKi (perhaps need to be Registered SM user).

I want too to create a sampler.. but, i cant find any documentation about NKi or something else wich can be surely used by SM.. because they are wav based

@infuzion I had know idea that anyone could edit it. I thought it was just for the mods. Angelina pictures anyone? Joking 😉

@CoreStyler In the case of SM the .sfz format is the typical way to build a sampler. Make sure to use .wav files as that is the format SM use's the .sfz format allows for compressed audio .. I think ogg ... don't use the compressed format it doesn't work in SM. The sfz format is a text document defining how to use the .wav files it can be edited with notepad although a good editor can be useful. Synthmaker uses a small subset of the .sfz opcodes look in your manual for a list of what you can use and you can read more about those in the Opcode List at the links below.

The sfz Format: Basics http://www.cakewalk.com/DevXchange/article.aspx?aid=108

This is a good starting .osm example. sample players

Here is a link to get your creativity going http://createdigitalmusic.com/2011/11/r ... more-21469

Hmm .. Now that I look around the forum for some links to help you, I see you are aware of .sfz and have asked and also helped with questions pertaining to it. So maybe you want to use just .wav files and already know the .sfz route? O well I started to give an answer but maybe you are asking for better documentation? In that case as infuzion pointed out we all can edit the Wiki so if I get some time Ill try to add something sample related to it. I will leave what I have typed so far and save my breath so to speak, unless I'm mistaken and you actually want more info on .sfz files.

As far as Nki is concerned it is a closed format so I don't know how far you would get, you surely could with some software translate to sfz. Maybe with Extreme sample converter as you recommended here. [old link]

The PDF tutorials in this section cover both basic PDF creation and ways to enhance your PDF files with links, bookmarks, and other options.
