Hey, A fellow on the Orion forum has brought this program to my attention-> http://puredata.info/ It seems that you can design VSTs cross platform with it, for anyone who wants that for Mac 🙂 I'll report back here after some trials. I am so lost in code yet, so graphical is really my only way to develop. Cheers

versions exist for Win32, IRIX, GNU/Linux, BSD, and MacOS X running on anything from a PocketPC to an old Mac to a brand new PC. It is possible to write externals and patches that work with Max/MSP and Pd using flext and cyclone.

The bad thing about Max/PD is that they process audio in packets IIRC. I also don't see a VST plugin interface for PD, like MAX/MSP4 had with Pluggo?

What does the packet processing mean when applied? Like you can't stream at samplerate or something? Thanks for letting me know. Here is the link to pdVST-> http://crca.ucsd.edu/~jsarlo/pdvst/ It hasn't been updated for a long time, but the bloke from Orion forum has it working in Orion 5. I'll tackle getting it working soon, after the pile of SM stuff I wanna do 🙂

You can, but it seems to be a special mode.

PD is quite nice, even with it's ancient TCL/TK based GUI system which absolutely stands no comparison to Synthmaker. But it's open source nature and the amount of available solution makes it an invaluable source for dsp studies.

Before your first post

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    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.
