- Layer(s): SLFOs or VLFOs in Step/Glide mode - not shown Quantize parameter, Step parameter and Start parameter.

Yes I am aware of those.

I am currently updating the user manual. The existing manual sucks and it doesnt tell anything, so I will try explain everything in better detail. Hopefuly Monday/Tuesday I'll have another build with updated manual + bug fixes.

Hi,
I tested the new build (27/04/2016).
I have provisionally found these errors:

LFOs - Layer1:
In step mode, params "Steps" and "Quantize" only works on VLFO2, but parameter "Loop" does not work (Label is still "Start" in LFO tab).
In other cases, these parameters do not work at all (VLFO1, SLFO1, SLFO2, SLFO3, SLFO4) and tab SLFO3 is not properly displayed.

LFOs - Layer2:
Here is properly working (in step mode) only VLFO1. In other cases, these parameters do not work properly.

just installed the 27/04/2016 version of 2.8.1, the 32 bit version isn't showing up in my 32 bit versions of cubase pro and renoise
the 64 bit version is loading ok in reaper and bitwig

ok I will be testing it today with 32bit Renoise.

While installing, which folder did you choose for 32bit vst dll ? is it a folder those hosts scan ?

EDIT: I tested with ReNoise 3.01 32bit Host, it detected BOTH 32 bit and 64 bit DLLs without any issues (I guess shows the 64bit one if both exist). I also tested with Reaper 32bit, so I guess this is an issue on your config.

I had the same problem with 2.7 I did a complete install over 2.6 and it didn't work, both my hosts gave errors just trying to load the vst.
Re-Installed 2.6 , all was well, then did the update of 2.7 over 2.6 and it worked !
Weird.

Just fixed that. Expect them in the next build on Monday.

The "final" last 2 features that I added to envelopes before releasing the last beta on Monday:

EnvelopeFeatures.png

1. Added a "Reset" parameter for envelopes: So far, the envelopes in SynthMaster did not reset the initial value in mono mode. However, after Arksun warned be about that, I checked out other synths that have this behaviour (like Sylenth and Hive) and decided to put this switch. If you click on the "Reset" button, the initial value is reset (to zero) whenever an envelope is retriggered in mono mode. (In poly mode it is reset anyways so this only affects mono mode)

2. Snap envelope segment lengths to tempo timing: This has been a longstanding feature request! and finally it's here. It works on the ADSR/MSEG display only, you should click on a square on the display and move it left/right. the "Snap" parameter determines quantization of the length.

Hello! here are some of the bugs that are still in the latest build...I also discovered a new one where certain sounds are drastically altered because of the phaser for some reason....

-Some presets sound different from 2.7, I think it has something to do with the phaser settings. For example "BT club bassdrum 01 (mw)" sounds drastically different in 2.8 compared to 2.7...the phaser seems to be the cause.

-When selecting the patch "BT every now and then (mw+pb+at)" and "reset patch" after, the "Ensemble" and "Distortion" fx in FX1 stops working until you right click an FX in FX1(distortion for example) and re-select(Distortion 1), then both the "Distortion" and "Ensemble" starts working again.

-I spoke too soon on the browser bug, but deleting a preset and browsing in the same area where the preset was deleted causes erratic jumpy selection that prevents selecting some presets.

-The new modulation tab colors are inconsistent in the other skins besides the Default Green skin, for example in the Green skin the mod tabs match the dark grey bezel area, whereas in other skins the tabs look more like the area inside the bezel. Also, the mod tab "highlights" don't match between "layer 1" and "Layer 2" in the Default Green skin and the Blue skin mod tab area is incomplete(missing arrows, maybe left unfinished on purpose).

-The distortion gui(in both FX1 and the Filter Distortion) part gets scrambled. This happens randomly when you close and open the plugin window or randomly when changing filter from VAnalog to SVF or changing between layer 1 and 2. Keep closing the synthmaster plugin gui and reopening it to reproduce...(I'm using reaper)

Remind me to never develop vst plug-ins.

this is one of those issues I couldnt figure out the root cause yet.
