Few questions about lastest public SynthMaster alpha

[kyodeejay]

Hello, I'm demoing this BIG synth. I know this is an alpha build and it seems to have lots of bugs and problems (I tell you those later). Some questions:

1. Can the final user modify the interface as he wants? ie: I'd like to remove some knobs, use simple ADSR envelopes (without tension), do a single page-page synth.

2. Related to 1, if I modify the interface, my sound presets would be compatible with others?

3. What's online preset browser? How big is it?

4. Why arp page is empty? (maybe I should read the manual, I know)

Few bugs, I think:
a) In browser page you can double clic author name, an attribute etc, to select it, but it seems you cannot remove that 'double clic' selection.

b) Quality switch seems to add more release in the initial preset

c) Modulations matrix: You cannot choose some sources, ie, additive osc 1 parameters. When you choose one of them another name appears in the matrix.

Even on the Demo version you CAN! The GUI Editor comes with the demo version as well, but we havent included any documentation for that yet. With a little trial/error, you can figure it out though, no big deal! On caveat though: It's right now on Windows only. As soon as I figure out how to run .NET Framework apps on Mac OSX, it'll be on OSX as well

2. Related to 1, if I modify the interface, my sound presets would be compatible with others?

Yes of course they'll be.

3. What's online preset browser? How big is it?

Right now, it's almost empty, but over time it will fill up with lots of user made/shared presets

4. Why arp page is empty? (maybe I should read the manual, I know)

Because we still have UI issues, those will be taken care of in the next "BETA" release

Few bugs, I think:
a) In browser page you can double clic author name, an attribute etc, to select it, but it seems you cannot remove that 'double clic' selection.

b) Quality switch seems to add more release in the initial preset

c) Modulations matrix: You cannot choose some sources, ie, additive osc 1 parameters. When you choose one of them another name appears in the matrix.

I'll look into a,b, but couldnt understand c

Thank you !

Thanks Bulent. Please allow me one more question about interface. I love Virus and Nova distribution (3Osc, 1Noise... etc). SynthMaster support 4 oscillators in two layers. Could be possible with the editor have them in the same page?

And here you are a small gif with the bug you don't understand, I choose Wave1 Phase as destination but...



Thanks

You can just use ONE ADDITIVE osc, which can have upto 8 oscillators within

Of course you can change the layout with the GUI editor.

Fire up the GUI editor, then a skin, then press the "Copy" icon. Then choose the new cloned skin, and work on that.

Thanks Bulent, I'm going to experiment today with it. Big synth to learn and too little time!
