sYnYx synth

tektoog · 3 May 2008

Another update... 1.4 random sequence push button added, random tone generator push button added, some fine GUI adjustments as well as for the overall sound. This is probably the last update before i dive into deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep debugging...especially for the presets saving bug ... Anyway the synth works well... has not made any crashes, creates fast and cool sounds and melodies... thanx to all the guys outthere whose i used some modules... and to the one who answered my noobish posts... cheers, TekTooG

I just checked your last standalone.

The problem with the presets is related to your preset names for your knobs and/or modules.

You need to give every knobs and/or modules preset name an unique name. Just save one of your presets as a txt file. When you open it you´ll see that you have several copies of the same preset-name.

Duplications of preset names are not allowed. Every value in the txt file need his own name.

The 2nd thing are the indicators of some knobs. This can be fixed in the same steps when correcting the preset thing.

Here´s what i´m talking about (Knob properties/Module properties/Properties Module).

Cheers, Neptune

EHm, actually IS allowed, and that's where it comes the usual problems, SM does not make any warning when you copy & leave the names identical.. 😉

I like it, it's a lot of fun. The random sequence bar thing is fun, although I prefer to manually dial in simple phrases.

If you're thinking of selling future products, a big point would be cpu, on my dual core it runs fine at around 20%, but on my 2.6ghz single core it's too much to run without worry.

hey thx a lot !!! first comment ever about the synth itself !!! I know it's kinda heavy...it definitely needs optimization... but if you compare it to a synth from arturia for example ...it looks rather kind of light... I know i'm far form the quality of their work but nevertheless... Since i always had slower machines than the ones developpers used to create these heavy synths, i 've taken the habit (good or bad i don't know about that) to keep a minimum of vsti running live in my sequencer... as soon as i've got the right pattern or riff... i render it to wav. first it saves some resources for the PC, and second it allows to get rid of bad surprises...like plugins that don't recall the right preset when you reopen a project. So when i really like a plugin or i really need it for my track, i manage to get it in whatever the process i have to follow... But that's me... !!! So this is actually what i am working on... cleaning up the schematic and see what i can do to light it up a bit... I know some parts could be coded but as i am not a math person, i am more on the poetic side of music, i guess they will stay the way they are.... Update 1.5 should arrive soon... cleaned up and preset saving bug free !!! I think also it is very fun to play with... thx again for your comment !! Cheers
