Thanks, I also added the angel synthesizer, which had no operative and the steps I perform are the ones I describe below. To add synthesizers to FoxDot, follow these steps: 1 - In the python3.6 / dist-packages / FoxDot / osc / scsyndefs folder, the scd file must be added. ![Captura de pantalla de 2020-04-12 23-08-16](https://forum.toplap.org/uploads/thirdsite/original/1X/724120fd9631930dcee152247ce3045fc91142e9.png) 2 - In the python3.6 / dist-packages / FoxDot / lib / SClang folder, edit the \_SynthDefs.py file, adding from line 406, for example if the synthesizer we want to add is angel.scd, the following two lines: angel = FileSynthDef (‘angel’) angel.add (). ![Captura de pantalla de 2020-04-12 23-06-50](https://forum.toplap.org/uploads/thirdsite/original/1X/a02b33c5dadff647a6e7db9826b0a801a1145ffd.png) We save and close and the next time we start FoxDot, the new synthesizer will be operational ---

You can also edit the `lib/Custom/startup.py` file to run any code at start up _or_ you can also use the `--startup` flag to point to a file to run any code you want if you don’t want to edit the files in the source code ---

We wrote a tutorial about it, [https://crashserver.fr/how-to-customize-foxdot-with-your-own-synths-effects-functions-and-samples/](https://crashserver.fr/how-to-customize-foxdot-with-your-own-synths-effects-functions-and-samples/) ---

Thank you, I didn’t know, I’m going to look at it
