On Your Own: Easy Toggling Between Syntorial and Synth of Choice

Solved

Hey folks,

When going through the On Your Own sections, I have to open Syntorial's Standalone synth, load the correct preset, open Ableton, load a synth in there (i'm using Syntorial's Primer) but then it becomes really annoying to toggle between applications to compare the sounds i'm making in Ableton to try and match the preset.

Any suggestions on how to work efficiently here? I kind of wish the on your owns were all like the one from lesson #1 (hidden patch vs your patch).

Thanks!

Hi Henrique

I recommend doing everything in your DAW. In your case, since you're recreating the Syntorial patches in Primer, I would open two instances of Primer in Ableton, one on each track. Primer is identical to Syntorial's synth and has the same On Your Own presets, so you can remove Syntorial from the equation. And then in Ableton's preferences, you can set it so both plug-in windows are visible simultaneously.
