I'm not building the things and neither are you. I know that people request lower quality instruments that are "good enough" so that they can have cookie cutter sounds from cookie cutter instruments and have everything done for them because they were never really interested in the first place.

Maan i'll be judged again for this but i spend a year before to feel comfortable with Sm2 endless functions and still learn it ...SYNTHMASTER ONE is so much more easy like Sylenth1...Bulent will decide what will be d direction for SM3 ...we are just sealers on his boat

Yes, SM1 is much easier. It also has like half the functionality. It would be extremely difficult to get the power of SM2 into an SM1 GUI.VELLISLAV wrote:Maan i'll be judged again for this but i spend a year before to feel comfortable with Sm2 endless functions and still learn it ...SYNTHMASTER ONE is so much more easy like Sylenth1...Bulent will decide what will be d direction for SM3 ...we are just sealers on his boat
There is a price for everything.

Not if you made it a single layer, single oscillator, single filter. You could go bananas with it with all the tricks, bells, and whistles, with no compromise, all at the highest audio rates and layer it how ever you want, or how ever your machine could handle. I've stated my case though, back to synthmaster one...

If you did all that it would just be another simple synth. I don't want to have to layer 8 VSTs just to get whatever sound I'm looking for.Dasheesh wrote:wagtunes wrote:Yes, SM1 is much easier.

probably have to make video why insist so much sm3 to have 4 osc - especially when make plucki or pads presets ... d idea of 8 or 16 layer each with 4 osc is great - super challenge ...so much experimentz could be done -sorry its different topic ...sm1 is cool as fast food for lazy people...cheerz

I was shocked at how quickly and easily I picked up 2.8. After just a couple days it became one of the fastest synths I've ever used to make a patch of any level of complexity with.
However, the first thing I tried to do in Synthmaster One was modulate a notch filter on the eq, but there aren't frequency knobs (even though there appears to be space to relocate those resonance knobs) so I had to go digging in the matrix...
With 2.8 you have instant access to everything. As of now, Synthmaster 2.8 is my favorite synth of the ones I regularly use.
If you're tossing wild patches together with dual waveform morphing lfos and bending wavetables, Synthmaster 2.8 is both faster and more intricate than Serum
(...barring the fact that there would need to be an included OTT/Spire x-comp style compressor, and the MSEGs have to be able to lock to a loop length and place stage nodes under the cursor, to directly compete.
Furthermore, there still isn't a parallel mix control for the filters or the ability to change where they are in the chain
).
Both One & 2.8 have the same quirk that the reordering of effects requires a slight delay, which IMO should both be instant and change the cursor to a vertical arrow when you click and hold.
In Synthmaster One IMO it's unintuitive to have to right click or scroll the mousewheel to change the mod source and left click doesn't do anything.
I did spend time on a fairly comprehensive review of Synthmaster One because it's excellent in so many ways, but the Demo is so incredibly restrictive that AFAIC it's unusable, and I whiffed the crossgrade sale since I won 2.8 (
) right at the end of it, so the review might not get published for a while.

Speaking of SM 2.8, I am finally back to my work on it!
My first task will be the scaled UI stuff

Yup, t's a beast of a little synth. Did a test patch a while back, growly scare the baby bass, but ye. BTW, that's just one patch over the drums with modwheel, no other modulation (but pitchbend):

So glad to read the bigger brother is getting updated as well
As much as I'm enjoying ONE, still 2.8 holds its special place
Waiting for 3 to rip many other wavetable synths a new one

Hey kv331,
Can you tell me more about how the iOS version of SynthMaster One is coming along?
I'm already aware that the May 2017 release has been delayed. I was counting the days.. What should we be counting now?
Cheers,
King

I'm curious about the May release too. You had me excited with the AAX news, any idea when you might have that ready?
No rush on the coffee maker update, my Keurig has that covered
