I'd recommend you to use Envelopes/LFOs inside SynthMaster. Otherwise, you might get zipper noise, as the host parameter updates dont happen continuously.

The engine buffer size parameter in SynthMaster determines the rate at which the Envelopes/LFOs inside SynthMaster are rendered. Also, parameter values are interpolated at the same rate. So using a "Large" buffer setting might help your problem.

It seems here that the pitch is about a whole step too high with SynthMaster 2 VST demo ( 1.9.9.14 ). Is there anybody else with similar problems?

You mean 1 semitones higher?

Will check it out. Maybe I made an error when making changes regarding microtuning

I think someone else reported a similar problem with a Creative sound card. Is it resampling 44.1k to 48.k ?

I don't think it's related to the soundcard. I'm using emu and the onboard on an other computer and both are two semitones two high compared too other synths.

I already reported this problem here http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... &start=300 (last post)

Perhaps you could check again ?

Thanks...
PS:
I really like the dirt one could create using the second filter in serial mode...cool

Well, hear it when we also add "bias" to the internal filter stage

That should add 2nd order even harmonics to the filter output!

Yes that's me. 44 or 48k, it still appears the output wants to go 2 semitones higher.

Same results with 44.1 and 48 k. And I tried also with my Echo Audiofire4 and I had same problems.

I promise I'll investigate this tonight.

BTW, I finished the implementation of importing WAV files. Man, that's really COOL

I tested with single cycle waveforms that I downloaded from:

http://forums.rolandclan.info/index.php ... d=4&page=1

And the result was just GREAT!

Now, the only question is, can I distribute those waveforms with SynthMaster? I havent seen any copyright notice, I think users sampled and compiled those single cycle waveforms so I assume they are royalty free?

EDIT: Submitted a question on the other forum to the creators of the sample library. Hopefuly they'll let us use their sample library.

Hi folks,

We're glad to announce a new build for SynthMaster 2.0 Beta: 1.9.9.16

You can download the DEMO version from:
http://www.kv331audio.com/DownloadFile.aspx?fileID=37

In this build we have the following updates:

v1.9.9.16:
----------
1. FIX: Loading user waveforms with filename length > 31 chars crash SynthMaster.

2. UPDATE: We have included 180 of the WAV files that are available at: http://forums.rolandclan.info/index.php ... d=4&page=1

v1.9.9.15:
----------
1. NEW: Users can not import WAV files into SynthMaster's user waveforms library. Simply drop the your WAV files under subfolders under Resources\UserWaveforms

2. FIX: Easy parameter values are not persisted when saving presets.

3. FIX: Notes hanging in Mono mode when Glide turned on

4. FIX: Mouse wheel doesnt work correctly when changing waveforms.

Have fun with the SynthMONSTER

Bulent

I get no option (greyed out) to purchase using Paypal credit. Is this by your design or Paypal? I have plenty of existing credit.

Well, that might be a limitation with SWREG, our credit card processing company.

I see the following choices on the purchase page:

CREDIT CARD online now
CREDIT CARD by FAX
CREDIT CARD by PHONE
PAYPAL
Electronic Funds Transfer with Proforma Invoice
WIRE TRANSFER with Proforma Invoice
CHECK/CHEQUE with Proforma Invoice

So I believe, if you choose "Credit card online now" that should work for you, since you're using a credit card? Or are you using PayPal?

EDIT: When I used the option "PayPal" I was asked to login to the PayPal web site. Then I logged on to PayPal, and after that PayPal displayed my default method of payment, which is via bank wire transfer. I believe you can change that default payment method from your PayPal profile? So I dont think that has to do with SWREG , our payment processing partner.
