I am trying to create a signal display of a vst synth I am trying to code I’ve set my signal display signal variable(“asig2”) which is tha variable my outs set 2, then at the end of my inst
I’ve set
display asig2, .5, 1
I have midi triggered sound but no display.
Wondering if any one has any ideas cheers

That’s everything I have at the minute cheers
I formatted your last post. It’s very hard to read code when it’s not formatted correctly. 
You can format it by click the </> button. Anyway you are setting the display type to spectrogram but you are using the display opcode which shows a waveform. If you change the displaytype to waveform and change the display line to:
display asig2, .1, 1;display output signal
You had the period set to 5 which was too big.
Still having some problems with the synth I’ve been building certain operations are not going exactly how I hoped possibly csound syntax I’m v new to this would be nice to get some input and or ideas about where I’m going wrong

Sent from [Mail](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986) for Windows 10If you don’t give any details I’m afraid I can’t possibly help. What do you mean when you say certain operations. You need to be far more specific here. I’ve no idea where you are going wrong because I have no idea what you are trying to do 
At the moment I’m trying to create a vat synth 
I don’t know if that helps at all ?
Not vat vst synth sorry
What’s stopped you from exporting your instrument as a synth? It’s all there in the manual. And it’s also covered here. Scroll to the bottom. There is a video there that takes you through the steps outlined in the manual.
Cheers, another question I was going to ask is when the vst is all in shape how does cabbage recommend you sell them? Is there any good examples you can think of of vsts made with cabbyon the market?
Sorry vst instruments on the market?
These are a good example… they sound and look great.
