When a synth made in SM is loaded into a host, it shows the outputs as "synth". I would like to have an option to rename the outputs or did I overlook something here and is this already possible?

Hi, AM, yes it is already possible, although the mechanism is still a bit obscure to me. You can have the name of the synth typing it on the left audio channel , the very last LEFT "out" primitive of your synth or effect. Right channel renaming seems uneffective....(?)

cheers, A.

It seems that VST hosts read just the left channel name, anyway it's logical because the slot that will appear on hosts mixer has just a unique name identifier (this i surely SDK related, I know nothing of SDK, it's my fault!).

Once I tried to make a multiple out synth too and it works either, but I never experimented on names of channels in those particular configurations...I will....

Depends, I also name the Right channel in SE, as in some cases I like to have 2 mono channels (or multiple outputs) instead of 1 stereo channel...but good to know, as this wasn't clear to me. 🙂

    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.
