My apologies if this has been asked before (couldn't find it in the forum or help) but I would like to be able to load a VST (or several) into my SynthMaker standalone...is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum xsys, SynthMaker and its exports are not able to host other plugins. If you are wanting to set up little networks of SM creations and exisitng plugins, but don't what all the hassle of a DAW (Cubase etc.) you might be able to use a stand alone VST host - I use the freeware VSTHost software when I want to do this kind of thing. Your SM creations can be made with extra inputs and ouputs to act as FX sends and returns to use in your networks of devices.

Thank you for the reply...

I use VST Host as well, and it is more versatile than anything else in terms of hosting...but I would like to customize the interface (and I don't mean skinning). I suppose the only way to configure a VST Host exactly the way I want is to write my own, and I was hoping that SynthMaker had the capacity for doing this.

It looks like I will have to write something native...I would rather work on music!

    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.
