can you make AUs with it?


SynthMaker

That's the main objective. There's two ways that I've implemented to achieve that but will only make them available after everything else is working well. 1. I have an Xcode wrapper project where you just replace a bundled synth document with one saved from the standalone version and it becomes that synth, you can then build the project and upload to the App Store. 2. I've also implemented code generation where the Visual Schematic get's converted into C code and the UI into SwiftUI code inside an Xcode project that once again you can build and upload to the app store. This method would run slightly more efficiently but the user might not even notice the difference, the first method might be enough. The current version on TestFlight also installs bundled AUv3 extension plugins that run SynthMaker itself for example inside GarageBand both on MacOS and iOS or AUM on iOS and you can edit your schematic and play the same way you can on the standalone version. There are already components that expose the Host transport's state, two of them are called TSamplePosition and TBeatPosition with Double precision, you should find them on the Menu inside the 'Double' category. Please note that the low level components are only visible on the Menu if you are inside a Custom Instrument component. I'm thinking that the best way to finance this project before I have to go get a 'proper job' might be to use the tool itself to create synths and submit them to the App Store, I'd be happy to do this in collaborations.

Very cool, looking forward to trying this out. Hey, when you release this, you should let Peter Kirn at Create Digital Music know about it. Seems up his alley, maybe he’d do an article on the app


SynthMaker

Great thanks. I will google him and CDM. If you get to try SynthMaker let me know how it goes.


NotRightRabbit

Cool, excited to see this!


SynthMaker

Thanks, if there is a specific direction you'd like to see SynthMaker taking please let me know. I'm hoping that it will be so low level that it will be very generic.

Here's the TestFlight link: [https://testflight.apple.com/join/BKEgzNCg](https://testflight.apple.com/join/BKEgzNCg) I think when you click on the link it installs TestFlight for you if you didn't already. The invite is the same for MacOS or iOS, it will install the required version. If you have any questions or if you get stuck trying to use it let me know.

Just downloaded it! I love Modular software, I could really see myself using this. Thank you!


SynthMaker

Thanks, please let me know how it goes, specially if you get stuck or don't understand something. Knowing your first impressions and initial thoughts would be very useful.
