There are lots of other Audio Processing Environments and free Audio Processing Environments out there (let's call them APEs and FAPEs.) In terms of FAPEs, there's PureData, CSound, Supercollider, Synthedit, etc. In terms of APEs, there's Max/MSP, Reaktor, and whatnot.

What are some of the best FAPEs? APEs?

If your interested in modular workflows theres the vst hosts Audio Mulch and Energy XT which may be of interest, great for live/experimental sound creation and sets and lol maybe an extreme idea but you could make componants in SE and SM and then export them host them in energy XT, have a reaktor effect chain after in the chain and run them through a few cool vsts like glitch and livecut and if you wanted to go nuts do this all with energy as a vst instance in audio mulch (as it runs as vst) 😀

erm..... Synthmaker?

for the rest you already named the most important. You might also be interested in SyncModular (Reactor Clone), VVVV (video synthesis) and of course: the mighty GCC

Hehe im fairly sure chironex knows SynthMaker already rl 😉 SyncModular is nice, i believe it was being developed by someone that later went on to develop reaktor but is no longer in development so possibly buggy but still nice for making sounds with no doubt 🙂

ABox2, just been updated and (now) free too.

Comes from a different angle to most other environments, less data, more wires and volts.

Fun!

    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.
