My first VST

[Nickateenbeats]

Hey guys hows it going? Just wanted to share my first vst i made. I do have a few problems i would like to share.
1. When im testing the VST i can press multiple keys at once, after export it turns to mono.
2. The GUI keyboard does not play any keys when pressed.
3. Feel free to add anything to it. Collabs are always welcomed!



Also, Please do not take this and sell it or anything.

Hi Nickateenbeats

I’ve had a quick look and here’s what I found:

In the MIDI module the max number of voices was set to 1. This means monophonic. You need to set this to maybe 32 for polyphonic or, even better, have a user selection.

Stereo clipper should be right at the end of the audio chain with all the mono module outputs going into it. This means the audio interface will never be overloaded.

The MIDI keyboard should be connected between the incoming MIDI input and the MIDI to poly module. In your schematic it was sending MIDI wirelessly to all the knobs and controls!


Suggestions:

It would be better I think to have an additional selector option for each of the 3 effects in the chain. The option would be to bypass with the selector prim, so if not required they don’t use CPU.

It’s more usual to have any reverb at the end of an effects chain, to give space to any sound you synthesise. But it’s your designer’s decision to make for how any routing is set up.

Good luck!

Hey spogg, i followed all the instructions you provided and everything seems to be working fine. However, when playing more than 1 note at a time the audio starts to get a distorted sound to it. It only happens when the echo delay is turned on. I tried moving the delay but nothing seems to help.

When you play more than 1 note you can get addition and subtraction from peaks and troughs in the waveforms. The peaks can be up to twice as high as a single note. So I would suggest you use a scope and see where the levels are too high. I think you’re getting clipping somewhere.

Good luck!
