Created to support non-rectangular shapes, these are still actually rectangular but support transparent pixels. Here the red circle is partially transparent. Specify which type by deriving your module class from the appropriate base class.
In your graphics class header file, and also in your XML file These windows are a new type currently under development. These are also composited windows supporting transparency , but also work on Mac.
This provides excellent compatibility with your existing projects but can be confusing when your bit plugin ends up drawing slightly different than it did in SynthEdit.
It will also enable new features like zooming in and out on your project. SE Version 1. These are displays with more pixels than standard HD high density. Also known as High DPI monitors. The Graphics in SynthEdit 1. These are usually:. This module converts a polyphonic signal to mono by splitting off only the most recent note played.
The output will be similar to a monophonic instrument. This is useful when trying to modulate a monophonic object e. This module mixes-down a polyphonic signal into a monophonic signal that includes all voices that are playing.
This information is used to identify any plugin you make. Plugins made with SynthEdit sometimes need to reset. This causes a short pause in the audio, it kills any sounding notes, and resets MIDI controllers to zero. The reasons a plugin might need to reset are:. These are events that cause modules to be added or removed from the signal chain, which in turn forces SynthEdit to recalculate the entire signal chain and is not something that can be done in real-time.
Future Development. Future versions of SynthEdit e. This is in line with industry trends. This is due to SynthEdit being a small company, we don't have the resources to support every plugin format on every operating system.
Older builds of SynthEdit suffered from inconsistent text drawing on Mac. Mac plugins would draw fonts slightly higher or lower on the screen than the same Windows plugin. This problem is now fixed. However, the fix needs to move your fonts slightly, so the fix is opt-in i. SynthEdit will not adjust your fonts unless you ask for it. Remove any lines beginning with ' vst3-vertical-offset ' - this is an older fix that was not very useable.
This will enable the fixes and disable the old behaviour. You will need to restart SynthEdit to see the changes. You will then need to check the alignment of all you controls and fix any that have moved.
The only remaining difference with font rendering is that the Mac renders fonts a little heavier in weight, but that behavior affects all apps on Mac, not only SynthEdit.
Some types of signal processing introduce an unwanted time-delay to an audio signal. This unwanted delay is called 'latency'. Latency is not to be confused with deliberate time-delay e. Examples of processing that introduces latency include spectral effects, look-ahead limiters, oversampling, and sometimes filters. This latency is a side-effect of the processing, and we would prefer to experience the effect without any unwanted latency.
Plugins can report their unwanted latency to the host DAW. The DAW can then compensate for this by time-shifting the audio on the plugin's track. Shifting a track's playback earlier in time can compensate for a plugin that adds latency to the signal. The result is as if the plugin added no latency.
Note that latency compensation works only on pre-recorded material, it is not possible to time-shift live audio. For this reason, you will sometimes hear latency from your DAW when you are monitoring a track while recording it, but not hear latency later when you playback the track. You can enable and disable this latency reporting when exporting your plugin from SynthEdit. The options are 'Off', 'Full' On and 'Constrained'. This prevents the user from experiencing too much latency when monitoring a live audio signal or instrument.
Too much latency makes it difficult to play a software instrument with good timing. SynthEdit's Feedback modules do introduce latency but the output of these modules gets mixed with regular not-latent signals.
So It's not possible to reconcile the mixture of two signals with different latency. For this reason, the feedback modules report zero latency. When you oversample SE has to run the audio through an upsampler and later a downsampler, these introduce latency a delay to the signal.
You can enable latency compensation to fix this problem. The result is as if the oversampler had no latency, i. In a plugin, the latency compensation is reported to the DAW, which can then time-shift the track slightly to hide the latency.
Routing around latency in a project does not eliminate the latency e. SynthEdit will simply add latency to the alternative route to compensate so they can be mixed back together correctly. SynthEdit will recalculate latency when you delete or add patch-cables on the panel. Latency also does not apply to muted modules, they are treated as having zero latency. I came across it around thanks to Rick Jelliffe who has written up some of his creations with it.
While it's perfect kit for making original, novel instruments as Rick has demonstrated , to get the hang of using it I put together a very traditional s? This also happened to be something I was lacking - there are plenty of suchlike synths available out there, but I've never found one I felt really comfortable with. Homemade was the obvious answer. It looks like this:.
