Trouble Creating a Custom Synth with Cabbage

#1

Hey guys… :wave:

I am trying to create a basic custom synth. I have followed some of the examples and managed to get sound output but I am struggling to add more controls like filters and envelopes.

Specifically:

  1. How do I properly link UI sliders to parameters in my Csound code?
  2. Are there any best practices for managing multiple oscillators and effects in one instrument?

I also check this: https://forum.cabbageaudio.com/t/routing-midi-input-through-cabbawsdevops But I have not found any solution. Could anyone guide me about this? I have gone through the documentation, but I feel like I’m missing something fundamental. Any tips or links to beginner friendly resources would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Respected community member! :blush:

Hi @wonicof809, I’m away on a mini break at the moment with only my phone. Have you checked the videos in the docs section of the website? They should give you some info on linking UI sliders to Csound.

With regards to your second question, I think it’s down to personal preference more than anything else. A common approach is to keep my synths and effects in separate instruments. That usually makes things easier to manage.
