As a Synthmaster Player owner, I am PO'ed that I did not get any email informing me of this deal.

The deal isn't offered by the developer. Doesn't make any sense for him to promote it.

That is the price we pay for internet privacy

Even though losing out on a 90% off deal, most users will prefer to determine when to be contacted by a dev, and not the other way around.

I really want to like this synth. Great feature set, supports mpe. The filters sound good. But the overall character is just so bland. The oscillators are about the thinnest, weakest of any synth I own. For 10 bucks though of course it's a steal as I'm sure I'll find uses for it, and I'll definitely experiment with ways of fattening it up. I guess I'm just a bit surprised that it gets such high praise.

Yep, you can certainly FX it up! I am also new to Synthmaster, and learning to appreciate its different approach.

It's such a personal thing. For years Arturia was criticized for having generic sound. Many found that the new synths represented greater realism and distinct personality. You read similar things about virtual amplifier sims. It is very subjective. The developers must have a hell of a time absorbing the comments as they are often so varied.

Noticed the same thing with Arturia and their sound engine upgrade.

The old engines sound more analogue to my ears.

What's nice about the recent Arturia upgrade is that the original plugins remain available, so any tracks that you've created are able to retain their original sound. I believe that Reveal did this with Spire's 1.1 release too.

Maybe I was a bit too negative about the sound. It's actually pretty nice sounding, just doesn't do "thick" as well as many other other synths but that's ok. The filters are definitely nicer than some other big synths like Omnisphere and Falcon I think. I'll definitely be interested to see granular synthesis in synthmaster. That will be a good fit.

I've heard that Canada has banned import of vst plugins that have masculine words like master in their name.

Wouldn't be surprised! Probably a brilliant social justice initiative by our supreme virtue signaling zoolander prime minister.

Bülent declared yesterday at the turkish TV that he won't send any more a Synthmaster license to any people using the term "noob" in his nickname, because he estimates it is an offense to the quality of the product.

Don't worry, i mailed several times because my Synthmaster player did not launch. Never got any reply.

Whole other level.
