is it possible to generate ultrasonic frequencies for a heterodyne interference sound element using SM?

or are we limited to only 20-20k?

It all depends on the sample rate you're using SM in.

..and the capabilities of the sound card and your audio equipment.

Creating inside SynthMaker is no problem at all, but the outside world will filter your sound at the sample rate's Nyquist/2.

Which frequencies are we speaking about?

I read some old analogue gear is able to go hundred thousands of hertz, to name one, the "Synthi"! 😈

In analog that's no problem, but you'll have a hard time to find an analog sound card for a computer.

    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.
