But yes, the actual sound generation is carried out in emu10k DSP
and thus is, as you call it, "an outside sound source" as seen by VST host.

To get the sound signal into the VST host, the only way is to connect
the synth's micro code output to an ASIO Input.

Connecting the micro code to the ASIO inputs is no big deal even for a novice in Kx virtual wires patching like myself

Thanks LeMury I hope other Kx developers follow your way and soon enough more Kx synths will come out. I love the concept!!

Do we have an estimation on the release date of the new VSTi-like Asynth?

I'm not sure, but probably mid april.
Currently Miguel.M is designing graphics for Asynth.
When that is done I will first update the current Synths.

Cool

Keep up the good work!

Tried Asynth and I'm really impressed. I never thought I could get such use to my old Sound blaster live. You can get one for just 20$ aprox. and you get a quite good DSP with quite a badass synth here.

The only problem I've got is that I get pops and clicks in FL studio, and FL reports underuns. I'm linking Asynth to epilog ASIO 14 and 15 and using FL mixer inputs (never hapens with vst plugins).

To solve this I linked Asynth to xrouting and recorded the windows output with sound recorder :-)

Overall I'm really happy, and I can't wait for the VST version. Keep the good work!!

Glad you like it.
Those 'pops and clicks ' (unless you mean clipping) can not be caused by Asynth
because it's an all Hardware Synth.
As such it is the same as you would try to record from *any* external hardware synth into FL, Cubase or whatever ASIO sequencer.
Asynths audio process is totaly unrelated to and independant from ASIO, VST, FL or whatever.

Those 'Pops & clicks' are probaly caused by kX ASIO driver/FL/system performance etc.
You reported yourself that all is fine when you record through winmme.

@ thefumigator: Increase the ASIO latency a bit in fruityloops and tweak your computer well for audio performance. ASynth really works flawlessly since it has nothing to do with the computer itself but with the soundcard´s DSP. Try a MIDI-router application like MIDI-OX and MIDI-Yoke for connecting an external keyboard or controller-bay with ASynth and you will see that you get not a single click and no significant latency too.
Regards!

hey Asynth got a mention over on the vintagesynth forums:

and well deserved too!!!

Any chance this will be released for the 3534f drivers?

Yes, of course, no problem.
Miguel.M and I am currently working on a new and 'skinned' version,
So it's best to wait for that.

Glad to hear that Lex, thanks.

I hope I didn't overlook the answer to this. If so, SORRY!

Will there be a new version of Asynth for the latest KX version? I really hope so, because that is a great synth.

Tanx,

DK-1

As soon as the skin graphics (made by miguel) are ready I will have to rewrite asynth anyway.

However, I have switched development to Linux and VST which are both
currently more interesting to me as a programmer (not much going on here).
So no guarantees.

Lex on the side of Linux.. See, more reasons for people to switch over

Embedded Linux actualy. (so I doubt "people will follow"

)
Besides, it's not a "switch". I'll keep using XP for DAW, making music etc as a user,
but shift my programming efforts towards Linux,RTOS related audio stuff.

NightBreed · May 10, 2006, 01:23 PM

I've been using Linux for over a year and a half now. Reason for my lack of KX activity. I'm sure Linux will benifit from whatever efforts you put into it.

For those interrested;
I've recompiled asynth for kx driver version 3545b.
Since I don't have CL hardware installed I am not able to test the build myself so just 'cry' here if it doesn't work.

Download for 3545;
