Hi,

I just created something with the code block but it did not work. It was very strange because the syntax highlighting seemed to be okay. The result was zero though. I recognized that the sytax highlighting is not case sensitive.

here an example:

monoin SampleIndex; float a; a = sampleIndex;

The first SampleIndex is uppercase while the second sampleIndex is lowercase. it doesn't work but the sytax highlighting shows no error.

Regards, Timo

Hi All, This one still hasn't been sorted out yet it seems 🙁 . I really hope that it can be because I tend to use CamelTextFormat for my variable names. Once a code module gets to more than a couple of pages long, it's a real nightmare to check the syntax by eye (and I have worked as a proof-reader!). I just spent an afternoon yesterday trying to get a 360 line piece of code working only to find that I'd accidentally typed Float (not 'float') in the variable declarations. Apart from this very annoying 'feature', the new 1.1.3 release is fantastic 🙂 - so much more stable, and the GUI elements in particular seem much improved CPU wise.

    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.
