- KDL Filename Extractor:
A simple module that merely splits a file (eg, c:\here\there\test.txt ) into it's component parts ( "c:\here\there\", "test", "txt" ),
and can put them back together again if you change one of the file components.
Splitting filename from fileextension is optional, and is chosen in the properties window.
Pins are duplicated on both sides to make it convenient to hook up to a variety of other modules.

- KDL_PanelSwitch_6
- KDL_PanelSwitch_12
- KDL_PanelSwitch_8c
- KDL_PanelSwitch_8c_mkV

These modules act as a switcher for panels, with multiple buttons to control the pannels.
Think of an old-style car radio, with the push button selectors. KDL_PanelSwitch_6 and _12 handle six and twelve push buttons respectively.
KDL_PanelSwitch_8c adds in the ability to chain multiple modules together, for unlimited push-button fun.
KDL_PanelSwitch_8c_mkV allows for multiple buttons to be 'on' at one time, whereas the others only allow for one button to be on at a time.

hey couldn't find any sems on Piz site ?
but fonts...we need a font thread

Hi, I had a discussion in here with Klangmanipulation concerning a KDL module I can,t find. It,s the 8stage Env module (or something like that).
Could you be kind as to upload it?
Thank you for the rest of the modules.

Vangelis

klangmanipulation got it wrong in the other thread, the module vangelis is looking for is not a KDL module. The module was by CMR and it's still online: www.crashforce.co.uk/SEmodules/

Oh, and Hi! First post here but I've been a Synthedit user for over 10 years. I literally joined just to help clear this up because I knew for sure KDL didn't make an 8 stage envelope but I knew there was one out there... ;-)

Well, just a suggestion, I would like to see all incomin links in the first post. Call it lazy, for me it's kinda overview thingy.

3 days ago, I started a totally amateurs tutorial blog. Will be updated always when I learned something new. 2nd part of "Basics: General Handling 2" arrives this night, maybe tomorrow I could start with the modules pages. It's planned to descripe every module in depth instead of starting to structure big synth and talking about the single modules secondarily.

Very cool website! :-)
Some suggestion: When you discussed how to insert modules you used the Knob as an example and then you showed how to show its structure.
However most of the modules have no further structure. They are just modules themselves. So there are two kind of modules:
1) Just modules. They have no further structure in SynthEdit
2) Containers/Prefabs: They have a green (when unlocked) or grey (when locked) symbol in the upper right corner. You can lock/unlock them and you can show their internal structure.
Containers are just empty ... well containers :-) You can open them with double-left-click and put any modules you like into them. The IO Mod module let's you create inputs and outputs of the container. You can use several IO Mods per container (I usually use one for the inputs and another one for the outputs). Prefabs are just like containers with already some modules inside (e.g. Knob). You have to unlock them to edit their inner structure. They can also be just just like ordinary modules. You can also create your own prefabs.
It's also important to distinguish between DSP modules(and prefabs...) (light grey background) and GUI modules called sub-controls (dark grey background), because you can't make any direct connections between them. I'd suggest to mention that and then just ignore sub-controls for a while because that would need some extra chapters. As examples for red, orange and black coloured pins I'd use some conversion modules (->Insert->Conversion). Maybe you could formulate it a little bit less confusing than I did :-)

By the way my soundcloud page is: soundcloud.com/mindtraveller-adri

I guess so, but I'm not a native speaker :-)
To show the controls inside a container in panel view you have to right click the container select 'properties' and then set 'Controls on parent' to 'true'.
The plug colors for DSP modules are:
blue: voltage (audio data, updated with samplerate, so about 44100Hz. So every calculation has to be made about 44100 times per second)
green: list data
turquoise: float values, similar to voltage but the update rate is only ~40Hz -> much less CPU demanding
black: bool data, can only take two values: true or false
orange: integer numbers
red: text data like "This synth will drive your parents crazy and might occasionally transform your computer into ancient, extinct creatures!"
