DIY plugin

has any one here ever developed their own Vsti plugin from scratch?? if so let me know mat.oh n i am new here from Durban South Africa

check out 'synthedit' as an intro to creating VSTi's, http://www.synthedit.com/... you don't actually need to know any programming languages to build a basic softsynth in synthedit, not sure about similar applications for creating insert effects...

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

thanks mate! Where you from Jimmarchi1?

Philadelphia PA, USA.... born and raised

I believe you, who would lie about that twice? Did you get a copy of synthedit to play with?

oh yes i did. thanks alot mate!

cool, if you make any useful stuff post it to the forum so we can all try it out! Hint, the world needs a 4+ band comb filter VST with discreet LFOs to sweep the frequency of each band (or better still a synth with a couple oscillators, osc sync, PWM, RM and maybe FM with a comb filter section before the amp envelope where the filters can track any of the LFOs or the ADSR generator). You know, for swirly, screechy pad treatments/creation that go beyond flanging, phasing and what you can do with typical subtractive filtering.

Or maybe a 3 pole filter plugin that does LP, BP and HP and volume envelope tracking like an envelope filter guitar pedal.... the 18dB per octave filter gets no love, I don't know why

please refrain from making yet another compressor or simple subtractive synth though.... just some thoughts... I always enjoy me some plugins that do things that no readily available hardware can handle!

I see on your profile you build some of your simple pieces of kit, I build my own cables as well though most of my other projects are confined to repairs (though I have built a few guitar pedals from scratch). You mention a DI box, did you build a passive one or an active phantom power one?

You got a soundcloud?

Well i am no longer into music, used to make beats,i am more into mixing peoples songs and mastering tracks, usually some old school trip hop, drum and Bass Dub step(typical UK vibes) and 90s style hip-hop music i grew up listening to. to answer your question i built a hybrid type D.I.Box uses both 9V battery and phantom power. hope that helps

and thanks for the information mate
