Features
Key features in SynthMaker include:
* Programming without the need of any actual code writing. The developing process is based around component placing and linking.
* Instant feedback as in any modification is immediately audible.
* At any moment you can test the plug-in directly inside the editor without any build times.
* Advanced interface editor.
* Access to low level programming using a code component.
Criticism
Although no programming knowledge is needed per se, using default modules can result in plugins which require high CPU usage.
Although coding is replaced with graphical modules, knowledge of programming concepts is still needed.
