The Synthmaster 3 Thread

2. Effect section, when everywhere you have to press left mouse button to select or activate, BUT to select effects you have to press right button, thats so inconsisten

So how would you want it to be ? Like a long press (left mouse) to show the menu. (On iOS there is no right click, so we use long press gesture)

3. Then in osc section when you navigate from osc 1 to osc 2, OSC and VOICE tab sizes are inconsistent

This is not an issue in SM3 anymore, because I rewrote the UI architecture and SM3 is using template containers for modules. So every instance of a module (osc, filter, mod, etc) have the same layout. In SM2 that was not the case and editing th UI was a real headache.

4. Category names overlapping

If you are referring to Preset categories, we are using NKS categories for the past 2 years, to be in line with NKS standard.

Yes, 0xAn midi events. Here's a min setup of Launchpad X pad pressure going into VST3/2 basic "saw-wave into filter, cutoff modulated by MIDI->Poly Aftertouch" patch: (sadly the kvr forums dont let me attach reaper project files)

Could you possibly email me the project file? bulentbiyikoglu AT kv331audio DOT com

I really want to get poly aftertouch working.

Thanks!

Yes some SM2 presets throw Missing waveform warnings. I will take care of that after beta release.

Hi, thanks for the project file. I guess you are referring to the VST3 not recognizing the PAT messages, right? Just fixed this issue in the latest update (Rev 15010)

Mmh, pardon me please, but to me, the new GUI feels worse than the previous alpha/beta gui... Any chance to have that alpha gui back, too? This gui looks kind of 90s design, those outlines, but then not really aligned and not crisp, too... Of course this is my very personal opinion here, I feel like this skin doesn't help to make sm3 more attractive. The controls are too small, even on larger scales, the knob outlines as said do not help, the font could be one size bigger, then less padding and better antialising for readability. Somehow the whole skin lacks of contrast.

I strongly disagree, new gui looks way better.

I strongly disagree, new gui looks way better.

If the opinion of the members of our facebook users group is an indicator, most users liked it. So, we will stick to it. I will also bring back the White and Dark skins that existed for SM2, until "Release Candidate" (end of May)

Just so you know, we are doing the GUI development in house until we reach beta status, so that the layouts finalize. Then, we will reach out to designers like Satyatunes so that they can create additional skins.

I just want to make it easy for UI designers to skin SM3 without delving into the GUI editor, just by modifying the background images or xml files (for skin colors, fonts and styles), I made some significant changes in the GUI Editor, and still making...

Are there pictures of both GUI's I can see somewhere?
