I had this idea in mind for some time now, but im not experienced in programming.

bassically what i want, and first I need to ask if it is even possible: I want to create a Nexus type of VSTi, a rompler. it should contain a sampler that can play .wav files in loop as an oscillator. specific .wav files should be loaded when choosing a preset, meaning - when the plugin is loaded, it only loads the interface and only after choosing a specific preset the .wav files will be loaded. besides that it should have some special fx and other sections that i thought of. so what im looking for is a skillful programmer that can show me some examples of his work.

my part of the job is that im a professional graphic designer, I will create a complete GUI with animations for knobs and so on.

also, I will provide the audio files as I have a Virus TI and thats the main idea- to create a rompler/sampler with best looks and sounds possible.

here are both examples of my work with audio made with my Virus TI and my graphics skills:

if anyone is interested and if this idea is even possible, you could post a comment or contact me via email at: [email removed]

Thanks in advance!

That's no problem so far... but the plugin only works on Windows (Nexus works on Win AND Mac). Also they use their own filesystem (not just load .wav-files) and also got a nice internally update system etc. etc. etc. etc. 😉

How do you want to prevent it from beeing copied? Nexus uses a dongle for this case.

Ready-to-use sounds or just waveforms as .wav-files?

Perhaps it's better to release this just as a soundset for Kontakt, SFZ, NN-Xt etc.

    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.
