[sdiy] My New Project - PCSYNTH

[tomg]

I understand, sometimes that old project you've planned 
for years just has to be done.. Damn the torpedoes. :)

SE is not what you think it is. It's more like drawing a
modular block diagram  than anything else.  It's almost
a magic box where you just draw what you want and
out pops a real object. There is zero programming 
involved in just building a synth and zero dollars too.... 
If you've got a PC and SC that's up to snuff.. Oh well.
I did what I could... :)

IM( often less than :)HO  SE and software like it "is" 
the future of SDIY..Not SMDs...Catch the wave (snicker). 

If it helps any, softsynths are not and can't ever be sample 
accurate. Near light speed problems  .. :) Sounds pretty 
good though..

Here's a  free collection of 12 VST stompbox effects I 
did a few years ago.. Flange,Distortion,Phaser,Delay,EQ,
SubGen..ect Enjoy...
