There isn't really a proper way for anyone to support a "Synth Effect" in Renoise unless the developers update it (which seems unlikely). Surge can be used in latch mode on Windows with the "rename _fx" trick. There is also isn't really a way to send midi to an audio effect. Renoise only allows instruments in instrument slots, but has no way to send audio to an instrument (without using a vst wrapper plugin such as Metaplugin). These are the best most fully featured ways to use Surge (synth) as an effect currently. These DAWS only allow instruments in instrument slots, and as such Surge can not be used as an "insert" effect, but with creative routing you can do anything you can imagine. (on both Windows and Mac OS in the case of Ableton) Midi and audio input are working as expected. Surge works as an audio effect when using these DAWS integrated methods for receiving a sidechain from another track. Logic X and Ableton 10 (Windows and Mac): You can load it as an instrument and send it audio as a sidechain, or load it inline on an audio track and send it midi from another track. Surge works fully as an effect or synth in Ardour. These work great! Unfortunately they don't include the midi controlled modulation capabilities and ability to send audio through the filter block.
#HOW TO USE VOCODER IN FL STUDIO FOR MAC#
I noticed the nightly builds for mac now include a new Surge FX vst3 and AU plugin, which includes all the effects from the effects section. Currently Surge will not receive midi when renamed too Surge_fx.dll. This works for some DAWs, but only in Windows. I spent a couple hours reading about it on here, and trying different things in different DAWs, so I thought it might be a good idea to compile them along with my personal findings. Using a synth as an effect is something that I personally find really interesting.
