hey!

I am quite new to synthmaker but already love it...I want to built a vsti synth with a sidechain input and the sidechain input should be routeable to different parameters like the cutoff of the built in filter etc.

the purpose should be for example : if you got a vocal sample and you want to filter down the lead synth everytime the vocal comes in you just put the vocal on the sidechain of the synth and route it to the cutoff so that it turns it down exactly in the style of the vocal.

it works with VSTfx, I already built a rudimentary compressor with a sidechain input and the sidechaining works well with live 7 . my question is if there are any limitations using a second input like sidechaining for VSTis concerning the VSTi standards.

I am also very grateful for any links to similar projects or tutorials.

thanks a lot and greets from berlin, easy

Nope there are no limitations doing this in a VSTi other than those imposed by the host If the routing in your host is anything like XT or Reaper you will have full control

    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.
