Hi All, Surprised that my searches didn't find anyone else looking for this...

I'm writing a looping tool for live use on stage and need to have several instruments connected to the PC at once via multiple soundcard inputs. I then need to be able to select between them from within the loop tool itself. I'm having to botch this together using VSTHost at the moment because exported .exes don't seem to support multiple soundcard inputs and outputs - I just get mono in/stereo out. I'd love to be able to use my schematic as a standalone .exe without needing to use a VST host - each of which impose their own limitations on audio routing. I'm sure that anybody interested in 5.1 surround work would also find this very useful, and for live work it gives the possibility of routing audio to multiple headphone feeds/external effects boxes etc. It's a bit of a shame because the GUI zooming feature of .exes is such a useful one when you need to see what's going on from the other side of the stage - I'll keep botching for now though, SM is seriously addictive 😍

    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.
