Synthmaker Greatest Hits

Vector Knob Maker

I hope the title explains what this clever tool does! And it does it really well.

You can select and edit all the parameters you might need and de-select those you don't need.
There is a working knob to show the effects as you edit and when you are finished you can just save the knob to your toolbox. You can see from the schematic just how much work and time went into this and I found lots of earlier beta versions so I know it was an act of pure dedication.

Multipath file selector

This menu device has 6 buttons, each allowing you to load the specified file type from any chosen folder on your PC. All the files in the loaded folder have their names then listed for selection from a menu box.
In this way you could have, for example, a folder button for percussion, strings, metallic, images etc.
The output provides the full path and, separately, just the filename. These strings can then be used with a File Dialog prim system to actually load the files into memory.
The module doesn't store the actual files so remains a small element in a schematic.
There is no Preset Management interfacing so I guess the host DAW would need to save the whole VST state in order to recall the settings. When you save the schematic in FS the paths and filenames are stored.
Looking at the schematic it looks to be easy to add or remove buttons to adapt to your needs.

Spogged: nothing, just loaded a couple of folders to test it.

SteadyScope

I found this scope inside a module for demonstrating oscillator phase and I thought it was so good I had to put it here. I couldn't find a reference to it as a separate project.

The nice thing is that the trace is, as the name suggests, steady. And this is without level triggering. It updates the trace when the input changes and seems to work, basically, by magic of some sort
I also like the + and - dotted reference guide lines so you get an idea of absolute amplitude.

Spogged: I knocked up a version with X and Y knobs and included it. The guide lines move with the Y axis control.

Author: Unknown but Martijn van der Lee and aliasant are mentioned for part of the contents.

MIDI CC emulator

This nice tool is exactly what the title says; it creates MIDI Control Change messages for test purposes.
This must have taken ages to create the list for the drop box. Just select the CC type and the value.
There's also a useful explanation text.

Spogged: Copied (not moved) the explanation box to the top level from deep inside the module.

Hello Gang,

Well as Spogg would say he Spogged one of these Synthmaker greatest hits , I guess I Bob'ed one he just posted.

Note, to change the colors of the Scopes display to your liking just go inside the module.

Find my Bob'ed Steady Scope attached.

Enjoy, till next time!
Later then, BobF.....

Hi Spogg,
kudos for your efforts with this!
Barely worth to mention but just to complete your infos... the tool was actually done by me. The CC list was taken from craig.

Continuous rotary data input controls

Here are two variations of a "round and round" type of data input knob, allowing for a wide range with good accuracy.

One of them has 2 ouputs, for angle and turns. These float outputs can go positive or negative.

The other one generates configurable triggers as the knob is rotated. 2 trigger outputs are provided, one for clockwise and the other for anticlockwise. This could be used for an up/down counter for example.

Note that this is for data input only; it's not a knob that can be addressed by a Preset Manager. Both have a reset trigger input to zero the position and the floats.

Spogged: This was originally uploaded as 2 separate FSMs and I combined them here. No other changes.

Reducing triggers on preset change

This is a fascinating demo, set up to show how you can modify knobs to block triggers on changing a preset and just use the Preset Manager's wireless output "After Preset Change". This gives a single trigger instead of one for each knob.
This is clearly an educational post and I think was made to teach something about trigger behaviour.
I can imagine that in a schematic with many controls this technique could reduce the time taken to change to a new preset.
