I was thinking that it could be very useful to have the posibility to turn on the noise burst that is "included" in every vst export in SM`s demo version. Like, you have std version, but want to to make a demo of your vsti. So, in the "export as vsti" dialog, there could be an option: "include noise burst module". It could even have a volume setting for noise.

There was a lengthy discussion over at the KVR forum about this.
General result was that nobody would like to have his ears/speakers/nerves killed by a noise burst.
Most users agreed that a smooth fade-out / fade-in would be appropriate or/and disabling preset save.

It's not so difficult to build your own "disturbing" module. I've made one, where you can choose between noise and fade method (see here: Demo Module). It is not very optimized, but kept simple. Drop it near the output of your VST(i) and select how long you want to annoy your users 😈

Well , I know it should be fairly easy to build a noise module, it just seemed useful to have the "default" SM module available for our demos, so you wouldn´t have to be turning modules to "purgeable" o not everytime you have to render a vst.
BTW, instead of a noise burst, I thought of adding something like a drum roll or a chord progression or a lick. Or a routine to ruin you MIDI data, so after some time of using the plugin, it would just go nuts - playing the wrong notes or something like that. Just some ideas.

I personally would assume such a plug-in as broken and dump it. One customer lost.

You can always include a popup on load telling that such behaviour is a limitation of the demo version.
And I can tell you, I know more than one person who would love a plugin that decides what note to play regardless of what note you tell it to play... 😕
Anyway, don´t take me too seriously - I´m just drunk with happiness as my video on youtube (demoing my vsti) got 300+ views and some good comments on a couple of forums. 🙂
