Very Simple Example Synth

Huh...I compiled the VSTi and it crashed FL Studio...anyone have some idea why?

I'm using version 0.9.3q.

I hear a few VSTis don't like FL; have you tried other VSTi hosts? Try Toby's atleast. Latest version is _r

Your synth is kinda neat; simple & rash. I'd raise the lower limit the Cut & Res knobs; go too low & it won't produce sound.

Hmm, well I compiled it in _r and now it works fine. I don't know if anything changed in _r that might account for that.

FL has become rather solid as far as handling VSTs goes. A couple old ones like PPG Wave behave strangely (but a workaround has been added to FL). There are also a couple here and there it has a problem with, but the developers at Image Line are always claiming that these plugins were not built according to the VST standard properly (I have no idea).

In any case, it's funny you like the synth...it's just two detuned saws and a filter! I guess that has a classic appeal! Thanks for the idea on the cutoff - I'll keep that in mind for future projects. This one really was just for the sake of learning how the hell to put these things together. I'm getting it now!

I tend to like simpler synths, then layer them with effects like I do in Buzz. Sometimes an all-in-one like Bones's are fun though.

version 0.9.3r has been changing since last night until just a few minutes ago. Each time I fix a bug I upload a new version. I recommend you download it again.

You can get in a lot of trouble on some forums for saying things like that. You oughta see the new one, OVERkILLER, only available on our new album.

And if any of the pros have a moment, take a look and if you see any dumb things in the schematic, let me know if there's a simpler way.

Here it is - I give you STUPID SYNTH:

Enjoy!

Hey grease,

This is actually very neat!!....simple, yet effective, I especially like the WIDENING knob...cool...

However, I also had trouble with FL, it crashed when I took the cut down to zip as well as produced some really strange clipping when i raised the res. do you have an updated version?

thanks,

btw, name is DigitalShift...i screwed up on my user name...hehe...

Hi DigitalShift - you can toy around with the osm file if you want to make any changes or analyze it. Then you can compile your own version...have fun!

Maybe if it is compiled in newer versions of SM it will no longer crash FL. We'll see. It doesn't seem to be crashing FL for me right now, but I haven't used it much.

Really, there is nothing to this synth - it's just two saw oscillators! You could make the same sound with FL's 3xOsc - just have two saws slightly detuned and panned differently.
