Anyone working with diy softsynths? Currently experimenting with reaktor and exporting ideas from there to custom vst plugins with the steinberg sdk.
sounds great looking forward to see what you end up with
I've spent some weeks playing with synthmaker (http://www.synthmaker.co.uk) and found it very nice as a IDE, has very powerful modules and a good community behind, it lets you focus on the UI / DSP side of things without having to mess with Steinberg VST SDK and C++ in general. I'd say great for prototyping and not only.
But nowadays I'm totally into monome interacting max/MSP machines (http://monome.org), as it totally changed the meaning of the word "sequencer" to me.
yes synthmaker looks good, have to try it out.
I still prefer to cut myself with the PCB cutter and to burn myself with the soldering iron 
Since I work with computers all the day long, I prefer to do my things in a HW way when I am home...
But I really like that somebody spins their wheels on software DIY, it is still something very interesting
that can lead to incredible results...

I also have Reaktor but have in no way made it to the level where I can build my own shit but I think the possibility that you CAN do so is fuckin ACE!
Looking forward to see what you make too, Biotek.
i messed around with PureData this free Max/Msp clone thingy for a while. but i just made some kind of waveform generators based on additive synthesis wich i then processed through an external filter, not really complete synth programs... i'm also more the hardware knob tweaker type of guy
ui... looks great! i did look at that too, but there where no more pcb's i believe...
btw, theres also a thread for hardware diy here:
deleted
i did few projects with Max/MSP but more installation kind of projects
not pure sounds or synth.
i really like the max way although i have a lot more to learn.
as for hardware DIY, it always seems more interesting
i read that building distortion is easy and a good starting point, is it?
where / how should i start?
biotek, can you post some infos on the sdk?
http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/3rd … loper.html
you can download the sdk from here. the latest version seems to be unavailable though for some reason..
I put together some sort of string reverb vst..

General question to all the DIYer's out there...
what do you think the best DIY VCO is?
I'm curious
try out a bunch and see what you like?
