It might have taken an extra second to pull up, but no biggie.

After this recent update from scratch I'm going to have to do it all again. I also lost all my presets. Just means I get to have fun starting over.

You can do both ways

i.e. SFZ or single cycles.

ALL you have to do is:

Prepare the waveforms based on their root notes, make sure they are single cycle, not more than 1 cycle is in there. The root note information can be placed in the WAV header (you need an audio editor for this though), OR, by renaming files, such as:

AnalogSaw.C3
AnalogSaw.D#3
AnalogSaw.F#3
AnalogSaw.C4

The intervals between samples can not be less than 3 semitones for single cycle import. SM resamples every 3 semitones for good resample quality. therefore multiples of 3 semitones intervals is fine, like 6 semitones or 1 octave.

(For SFZ we don't have such a limitation!)

EDIT: I just realized that actually even if you don't know the root notes, if you have multiple single cycle samples like:

AnalogSaw.1
AnalogSaw.2
...
AnalogSaw.N

Then I guess I might be able to calculate the root note from their lengths and sort them out correctly. I'll add this in a subsequent update

Better wavetable/SFZ support coming up in v3.0, patience folks

Well, I just used the instructions on page 33 of the manual with the last version and I had it stuffed full of single cycles. When I did a fresh install for the new 2.8 I lost my cycles and my presets. I'm fine with remaking cycles and such but it doesn't want to take for me today. I must be a dumb ass. Doing something wrong.

As I said, please email me those so I can test.

thx!

Hey MR. B. I got it to work. It was a ME problem.

Two fold... I was using the extension .wave, not .wav. I was also placing it under documents/synthmaster and not USER/documents/synthmaster. It's working as it should now. Thanks for your attention to the matter. I thought it might be a bug or I wouldn't have bothered you.

As a follow up for anyone having troubles still. It's best to take a 3 cycle sample. Synth master sometimes has trouble interpolating a cycle that is too short. Three cycle samples seem to work best for me.

Hello, there's a bug that prevents all of my presets from being detected in my folder as a bank. If I select my name in the author list in the browser, all of my presets show up fine but when I only have the bank name(also my folder name) some presets are missing from the list. Also none of my presets have a bank name assigned to it, they're just in my own personal folder.

The new Synthmaster installer still gets flagged by Avast AV !

Got an 'Win32:Evo-Gen (susp)' Virus Warning in synthmaster28update.exe|>{app} GUIEditor.exe

Can't install the latest update because 'GUIEditor.exe' got blocked! .

Fix it please!!

And I cannot type 'https' for your website. I got something like 'invalid connection'!

I wont fix it, it's a false positive. I have Mcafee on my build machine so I trust that.

Is the 2.8 update in a beta testing stage or is it official? Also can I safely update from 2.7?

Not a satisfactory reaction! As the supplier you should take care your product is 100% secure!!

(Clearly there is something in the new GUIEeditor that AV's don't like!)

As i said I cannot install it! .

zxant, send the installer to Avast via the scanner, there is an option in the virus quarantine, when you right-click the file in the quarantine. It's the responsibility of Avast to flag the file as non-harmful, so that the scanner doesn't falsely recognize it on the next scan. Could take a day or two, but you'll be able to install it then, and, you'll help others too. Btw, you can already install it now actually, by excluding it, which can also be done in the quarantine. "Recover and exclude" or something.

I can not test my binaries with every virus scanning software. It's AVs bug, not ours.

So no updates for me until this gets resolved! .

Can't you just flag it as a false positive / unblock it in your AV manually? I'm using Webroot and it's possible to do that, although not very easily (which makes sense so you don't accidentally use the feature too hastily).

Any decent AV should have this option. False positives are fairly common.
