hello. I'm completely new to synthmaker and i'm keen to try it out. What i'd like to do to begin with is create a crossfader plug for use in modular hosts.
The plug should have two pairs of stereo inputs (or 4 inputs in total) and a single stereo out (or 2 mono).
I'd like a single slider (or knob) to control how much of each input pair is routed to the output.
At slider position '0' the output would only play what was arriving at input A, at full volume.
At position '100' the output would play only what was arriving at the input B, at full volume.
At '50', both inputs would play through the output at full volume.
At '75', the input A would play at 50% volume, input B would play at full volume.
Sorry for the longwinded description of the crossfade i'd like to achieve, its a standard 'beatmixing' slope as seen on DJ mixers.
If it'd be possible, could you explain how to acheive this in as much detail as you have time for.. (a source file would be great too!)
thanks very much.

I've started Audio-In support with the latest version:
[old link]
It is now possible to do a crossfader although you cant yet create a VSTi or standalone version of it.
Here is an example of how to use Audio Input:
Please ignore the wrong symbol used for the FloatToMono component.
With DirectSound the captured data is available in channels 0 and 1.
With ASIO you have access to each input channel separately, e.g: with my DMX6Fire soundcard you have the following:
Channel 2-> Line In Left
Channel 3 -> Line In Right
Channel 4 -> Microphone Left
Channel 5 -> Microphone Right

hi jorge, (or anyone else who's fairly adept with synthmaker)
i appreciate you must be quite busy now. But I was wondering if synthmaker is at a stage where the crossfader plug in i described would be possible to build and export as a vst?
Mainly i'm interested in using it as an exercise to help become more familiar with using synthmaker by 'completing' a whole (small) project from design to export.

hi cbit,
I didnt forget about it. I'm getting very near it now, everything is there except the ability to create a VST effect. Actually VSTi and VST creation is the same except for a variable saying that its a VST and not a VSTi.
I have finished fixing the PolyToMono component, VST Effect creation is now on top of my ToDo list.

i'd like to do this too! I don't know how to emulate the curves that a crossfader uses though

I would maybe try a float slide prim or a filter
That should give you some cuttoff control i think
Sorry i'm a scratch DJ and we like our on/off instant faders 🙂
