SynthDefStorage stores all synthDefs in a dict

andrea valle, jan 2010

Inherits from: Object

This class is intended as a way to store every synthDef created, in order to access it without constraints (e.g. by using memStore, store, and SynthDesc constructs).

It is required in order to use SynthDefAutogui.

Some Important Issues Regarding SynthDefStorage 

You have not to use it directly. By modifying the buld construct in SynthDef, the class keep tracks of all the synthDefs created, so that they can be accessed by the classvar synthDefDict.

If you use another app to send defs to server, these will not be registered (but you won't...).
