Hi everyone,

We're glad to announce the latest update for SynthMaster, SynthMaster Player and SynthMaster Player FREE: v2.6.15

Since our last official release 2.6.9, we've fixed many remaining issues and added features that were requested by our users. One important feature request was AAX support, and here it is!

Along with AAX support, there are other goodies: More factory presets for Player/Player FREE, a new skin for Player and now Player skins are part of SynthMaster as well!

The entire changelogs are below:

New Fetures for SynthMaster:
1. Added AAX version of SynthMaster (32/64 bits on Win/Mac platforms)
2. SynthMaster Player skins are now included with SynthMaster as well
3. Added Midi Learn for XYPad controls
4. Added delete preset feature (by right clicking on a preset)
5. Added random waveform selection for oscillators (by right clicking on an osc waveform)
6. Added listbox scroll using mouse wheel
7. Added preset bank import feature
8. Updated SynthMaster User Manual

11.Users can now set the default preset to be used when initializing a new instance's settings

Fixes for SynthMaster:
1. SynthMaster AU doesnt respond to up/down keyboard events to change current preset
2. SynthMaster VST/AU doesnt normalize discrete parameter values between 0 and 1, causing incompatibilities with many host applications
3. Selecting a Player skin crashes SynthMaster

6. SynthMaster doesn't read samples under <My Documents>\SynthMaster\Samples folder
7. SynthMaster doesn't read waveforms under My Documents<\SynthMaster\Waveforms folder
8. SynthMaster doesn't remember the last folder presets were saved to.
9. Resetting settings of a section might crash SynthMaster
10. Pasting settings of a section from clipboard might crash SynthMaster
11.Loading settings of a section from a partial preset file might crash SynthMaster
12.Changing the value of skin dropdown using mouse wheel crashes SynthMaster
13.Changing the value of scale dropdown using mouse wheel crashes SynthMasterl crashes SynthMaster

Quick tip: if you have the full VST, i.e. not the player, don't try the player skins (sm-800x and developer something), because there's no way to change it back. You have to edit the config file to get back to one of the default skins.

Too late! I was playing around with the skin and now I am stuck with the Player skin. Can someone tell me what config file needs to be edited? I am on OSX. Thanks

Post

Never mind, I found it.

The file is Documents/SynthMaster/Config/SynthMasterConfig.txt

You have to change
Default Skin Name=SM-800X
to
Default Skin Name=Default Skin

Yeah, seems like an oversight. Also, there's a skin in there called AnalogMaster that doesn't show up in the skins list.

I noticed the user manual is updated….how do you access the manual?

Post

Um...no...you can change your skin back.

Just scroll through the second < > arrows on the player till you get to skins and change it to whatever you want. Working on...see below specs.

Excuse me? That's NOT correct. It's my bad I havent explained it clearly :

It's easy to go back to the SynthMaster skins: On the top header (of Player), click on the left/right arrows to change the current displayed parameter, until Global Skin is shown. Then, click on the skin name to select the new skin from the dropdown menu. Close/reopen the plugin window and you're back!

My mistake! I didn't even realize that's what those arrows were for. My apologies!
