There are lots of reasons why you might want to write your own VST plug‑ins. The learning curve can be steep, but there are development environments out there that can help. We take you through the options. If you've ever used a modular synthesis environment, you'll know that they can expand your processing and synthesis horizons well beyond what you'll find in a DAW. Modular packages like Native Instruments' Reaktor or Plogue's Bidule, to name just two, offer a great deal of flexibility to put together weird and wonderful combinations of processes, to achieve results that would be difficult, if not impossible, with less flexible software.

But if you want to share these concoctions with a friend or a colleague, or the public at large, things can get a little more complicated. If they own a copy of the same modular environment, you can trade a preset, but that limits your audience quite considerably, and becomes even more complicated if you've made use of any third‑party modules. And if you come up with something useful enough to sell commercially, the requirement for the end‑user to purchase an entire modular environment program just to use your creation is not likely to help your sales! Enter the 'Save As.' These are basically modular synthesis environments that allow you to export your creations as stand‑alone plug‑ins to be used in any VST host. Maya crack torrent.

One of the foundational players in the 'Save As.' Movement is SynthEdit, from developer Jeff McClintock. A simple polyphonic synth prefab open in SynthEdit. This Windows program hit the market in pre‑release form around a decade ago, but the application's roots pre‑date the VST standard entirely. Jeff explains: 'In the early '90s I was in a synth band called Krisis.

We used an Atari ST for MIDI sequencing, but were frustrated because we only had two keyboards. I needed more synths.

At that time I played a lot of arcade video games. I started programming a game called Defender for the Atari. In the game, each alien 'thought' for itself, independent of the others. The code naturally became very modular, and I saw a parallel with synth programming.

Those factors together spawned SynthEdit.” With the arrival of the VST plug‑in standard in the late '90s, Jeff saw a means to allow his modular creations to be used in third‑party applications. However, his approach differed from what some others were doing at the time. 'When VST first came along, everyone was making VST conversions, trying to squeeze desktop applications into a plug‑in.
