I know this has been discussed earlier. It really would be cool to be able to import processing functions from a dll. Some function which gets passed num_inputs data streams of sample data and/or green data and provides num_outputs output data streams.

I really need this, someone else ?!? 😀

The only problem with this sort of question is that if you want to load in dll's then you are obviously capable of writing c++ (or the like) so why not write the synth your making in c++?

I know synth maker is really really nice to develop in, but for things like that do it in c++.

I would love the feature too, but I cant see why the developers would ever add it, as it falls quite far outside the design brief of being able to make synths without any coding knolage.

NO ! The main reason I bought Synthmaker was to be able to use it for testing out algorithms on a 'drag and drop' basis. Now, the software is really much more than that ! You are able to do ALMOST everything in it, but for some special cases it would really be great to be as flexible as in some higher level language. I definetely would go with the code component, but its quite restricted if it comes to some sophisticated 'number crunshing' ! So why not give the developer the opportunity to CHOOSE if he would like to use some external functions. You do not NEED to if you do not want to use it !

    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.
