// written to disk only
(
SynthDef(\test1, { |out, gate = 1, freq = 440, amp = 0.1|
    var sig = SinOsc.ar(freq) * amp;
    var eg = EnvGen.kr(Env.adsr, gate, doneAction: 2);
    Out.ar(out, (sig * eg).dup);
}).writeDefFile;
)

thisProcess.recompile;

s.boot;

x = Synth(\test1);  // no error
x.release;

Not a problem here.

What I did find, though, is that the SynthDescLib does not
automatically read from disk by default:

SynthDescLib.at(\test1);
-> nil

// force a read from the default synthdef dir
SynthDescLib.read;

SynthDescLib.at(\test1);
-> SynthDesc 'test1'
Controls:
ControlName  P 0 out control 0.0
ControlName  P 1 gate control 1.0
ControlName  P 2 freq control 440.0
ControlName  P 3 amp control 0.10000000149012
   O audio Out out 2

I thought SynthDescLib reading was part of the startup process, but, I
guess not.
