Synth Book (V2) and SDK v1.2.5 do not match up | Synth Book Questions | Forum

Hey,

I have been following designing software synthesisers in c++ 2nd edition and quite early on have found inconsistencies between the code in the book and on my screen. Maybe I am looking in the wrong places? I thought I would check now before I get in too deep and miss more stuff.

Section 2.4 SynthEngine constructor: 3 tasks, one of which is initialising some of the MIDI data to prevent a synth starting without audio. In the book the lines: 

`midiInputData->setCCMIDIData(VOLUME _ CC07, 127);

midiInputData->setCCMIDIData(PAN _ CC10, 64); `

these come before creating the wavetable and PCM sampl database shared pointers but in my code there is nothing before // --- create databases.

Weirdly the \brief of the function says that it initialises global MIDI data but it does not appear to do that.

Further on in 2.6.2 it discusses the setParameters function, the book mentions it setting up the global MIDI data but there is no reference to MIDI data or data structures in my code or any of the code presented at the top of page 22 in the book.

Then in 2.6.3 the render function is discussed, supposed to be doing 3 phases. Phase one is Updating the engine's GUI parameters, but I cant see any calls to getParameters or setParameters. 

Am I looking at the right code (\SynthLab_SDK\source\synthengine.cpp) ? Am I missing something vital?

Thanks for your help 🙂
