SIDSynth installer

The public plugin download is not live yet. The first release will be a Windows VST3 and standalone instrument, version 1.10.22. macOS Audio Unit and Linux LV2 builds are part of the same project and will be announced when those installers are ready.

User manual

Version 1.10.22. What the controls do, how tempo sync works, and the NRPN map. This is the reference, not the recipes.

Registration, when you have a copy

Bank load, bank save, and patch writing unlock with a signed license. The instrument looks for it at %APPDATA%\SIDSynth\license.key, or you can import the file from the bank menu.

  1. Install SIDSynth and open the bank menu.
  2. Export the machine ID. That saves a ZIP from the installed copy.
  3. Email the ZIP and your purchase details, including the name to register under, to 6581@sidsynth.com.
  4. Import the license file you receive. The panel shows the registration when it is valid.

A license is bound to the machine IDs inside it. You can still read the manual, cook from the book, listen to the demos, and build a custom bank in the librarian before the installer arrives.
