MPowerSynth experience (and maybe bugs?) 2015-09-22T14:55:47+00:00 hello. after some read threads about "why some synthesizers dont get the attention from major sound designers" i decided to make a soundset consisting of the same sounds for a couple of synthesizers. so i could tell how quick someone can make this or that sound and so on :) today i tried MPowerSynth and experienced some things (maybe bugs). my first impression was different from the other synthesizers i own. i really was overwhelmed by the interface and i now can confirm: you need to spend lots of time with MPowerSynth to find the right workflow :wink: it was unintuitive. but to get an overview i started with randomization. i think it did not work that smart how it should be by that amount of parameters. the results were 90% noisy, heavily modulated or none tonal. maybe thats the strength of MPowerSynth? fx soundscapes etc. i just played with the global adsr. there was a graphic bug with the release. if sustain is silence then the release is visible. sustain.png i really like the smoothness option. but again i think there is something wrong. if the hold is 0ms then everthing is fine. but as soon as it is higher the smoothing doesnt work as expected. also the release point does not get smoothed. smoothness.png while designing some basic presets i missed 2 options (at least i was too dumb to find them :D ): osc (hard) sync and a way to disable the osc phase retrigger. some other things that are not that important: is there a way to tune the middle c? i thought your plugins have multichannel support but not MPowerSynth. with its possibilities to create fx soundscapes it would have been a nice feature to use it in surround too. i wanted to automate a parameter and opened the parameterlist. i got shocked by thousands of parameters and it was pretty hard to find the right one. of cause i will spend some time with this synthesizer (at least to finish my studies) but i think i already know why there are no major sound designers for MPowerSynth. please dont misunderstand my opinion but i just think the customers for this synthesizer are too special :D if a sound designer has to spent half a year to get its workflow for one synth its not worth it. as i read in other threads and also experienced there are simple features missing. i mean you sure could get a workaround for something with modulating and so on but it will never be as easy as having it right as parameter. maybe there will be another comparison with version 10, 11 or 12 :) cheers, Anton Soundplex https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=366875

That's what I did but it didn't show which preset was selected so I can't find it now.

Well, the "dice+random" button is for totally new created random presets. The "dice-only" button should show how the randomly chosen preset is called ... maybe it's a bug that it did not show the name in your case? I've never had this bug.
