Synthmaker

[muckypup1]

Well I've got the Synthmaker program and would like to try and make my own simple amp sim, but I have no idea what to do

Is there a simple way to make on using this? Or is there no way of getting around knowing a lot of maths and schematics? All I want is a simple plain block with a tone and gain control I don't mind putting in a lot of work to get it done, but it would help if some of the programmers on here posted some info that could help me

Look at the synthmaker forum.. I think I saw some "tube-shaped" waveshapers in there a year ago or something.. Try searching for "Valve"

anyway, I think it goes something like (x * (b + x * (c + x * d))), where x is the current sample and b,c & d is a number between +/- 1 ....
from Caps audiosuite :
b = -0.79618574210627535;
c = -0.21108555430962023;
d = +0.38944033523200522;

it's a fizzy approach for overdriven sounds, but if it looks interesting, visit http://quitte.de for the whole source..

anyway, if you'll ever want to make a serious ampsim I would recommend you to learn some basic programming in C++ or Pascal It's more flexible
