Newly synthdef not playing audio (following doc)

Hi Uriel…

By this, do you mean you have followed this document?

sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/blob/dev/SYNTH_DESIGN.md

# Synth Design

The sounds you hear in Sonic Pi are all produced by the SuperCollider
synthesis engine. These synths and effects have to be defined beforehand
in a special kind of binary file called a `synthdef`.  The built in
synthdefs are loaded up on boot so they are ready to trigger.

## Design Methods

Synthdefs are ultimately compiled from source code into binary files, but there
are two main ways you can do this. You can either use the Clojure based library
called [Overtone](https://overtone.github.io), or directly use
[SuperCollider](https://supercollider.github.io/)'s own language instead.

You can find the source code for the synthdefs that currently ship with Sonic Pi
in the folder

```
etc/synthdefs/designs/
```

A few more questions:

Does the SynthDef play fine in Supercollider?
What is your SynthDef named in the SCLang file?
What code do you use to try to play your new synth in Sonic Pi?

Nevertheless, it would still be useful to see the SynthDef source code to make sure it is formatted correctly for Sonic Pi use
