Spout Output Only

Hello, thanks you very much for providing Smode Synth! Very exciting software.
Perhaps I am overlooking something that is already there but I have yet to find the solution... I would love the option to output to Spout only. As it is now I am only able to send Spout to Resolume if the Smode Output is also sent to a second monitor. Am I correct in thinking that to have this option of Spout only would also save GPU resources for people like me who use a good laptop live? Merci Beaucoup

Hi Mikeg,

Indeed for the moment the Smode Output is hardcoded into Smode Synth, so you can't really disable it.
What you can do however is change it's resolution to something very small such as one by one px.

You are right that this is not quite optimized and being able to kill the main output would be good to save GPU resources.

I created an issue in our internal issue system, but having other users asking for it could help raising priority: Users, if you agree with mikeg suggestion, please let it know by liking his post!

@mikeg
Simply set x & y to be 0 in the settings...

Waiting for a true disablement that should indeed do the trick!
Thanks @vdmokstati!

We just implemented a "mute" option in the output:

Will be available in 7.5

That helped, thank you very much!

Thks! Note that since 7.7 it's even accessible directly as a button in the devices column:
