Synthmaker Greatest Hits

3 channel scope

Very impressive 3 input oscilloscope with many features. Worth a look! Instrucions are with the schematic and are very clear.

Spogged: nothing changed but I haven't tested all the possibilities but everything I did try worked fine.

Author: Unknown but from the presentation and quality I suspect Trogluddite!

MIDI monitor

Very useful tool for displaying incoming MIDI messages. It also counts the number of events.

Spogged: nothing

LED collection

I plundered the old site to find all these lovely LEDs for your pleasure. Loads to choose from in various colours, including a 32 LED strip.

Spogged:
Added boolean prims to test the on/off ones.
Added an LFO to demo the LED level meter.
Added a knob to test the strip and made a Properties view to set the on/off colours on the strip.
There are also some triggered ones here.

Metronome

This metronome has a nice GUI and uses your soundcard, or whatever MIDI output device you select inside, to create the sound.

Spogged:
There was originally a MIDI input provision for using a keyboard to control the +/- speed but it didn't work well and I felt it didn't add anything anyway so I removed it.

Dream Sequence

I looked at the evolution of this from version 1 to this most recent version 19 and I can just about imagine the huge amount of work that went into it.
It's a very flexible note sequencer with a small GUI which could be incorporated into a synth project maybe as a performance source.
For demo and testing the author has provided a basic synth.

Spogged:
Bought the Properties view to the top level so you can set preset name, like it was in earlier versions.
I haven't tested it in a DAW and I haven't tested for preset recall.

It is miles ahead of that old one in all respects.
It's just heavy on RAM(90meg)

I think it's for like ver. 306

Wow! Thanks nix. That's changed a bit
Nice to see the development from the early stages too.

Trigger tutorial

This is a very professionally made PDF all about triggers. It's written in an informal but very informative style with plenty of screenshots.
There was clearly a series of similar tutorials but I only found this one in the data that Youlean provided from the old site.

Requests:
-Has the trigger implementation changed between Synthmaker and Flowstone?
-Does anyone have any of the other tutorials stashed away they might be willing to share?

EDIT 21.2.16 I've found and added the FSM for this tutorial!

Fonts available for Windows

This is a huge spreadsheet, sorted by font name, which shows what version of Windows come with what fonts.
It goes up to Windows 7 so may be useful when selecting a font that is actually available in the OS.

Great post Spogg!

Thanks for taking the time to go through these and re-post them for everyone.

MIDI Monitor was made by me.

ROM Player was by me, trog and a few others I cannot remember others as it was so long ago.
