SynthMaster v2.9.8 released with 50 new cinematic presets by DeJaVu Sound

[Dasheesh]

 
Does this mean that, at present, version 2.8.7 is the best bug-free version?

Just for poops and giggles I went and installed 2.8.7 and it works better. I haven't really played with synthmaster much since I went PC because the GUI was small for me. I wanted to see what the differences were though. I am able to patch the filters better from scratch but the filter modules on the presets are still screwy. I am NOT getting the audio degradation like I was getting from the newer version. So, that is something to do with what ever he did to improve the reverb. I'm having troubles believing his preset designers... or SOMEONE... hadn't mentioned these quite obvious bugs to Mr. B before. As it is... It's very difficult to work around these bugs in Synthmaster 2 if you are patching your own sounds. The presets work, but work best in 2.8.7 before the "fixed" reverb. The GUI on the presets may or may not work. The filter modules are screwy, the XY pads are screwy, and the audio goes screwy on the newer versions.

Hi, any chance you could check the thread I started re: transferring a license of this synth in the kvr forum? Hasn't been addressed yet & I'm at a loss as to what to do.

I don't understand the instructions from the support email i received, the link I was sent simply takes me back to your website, so I'm caught in a catch 22 of license transfer confusion.

If anyone else is familiar w/ how this process works w/ this company feel free to chime in. Maybe I'm being ditzy and that is the paypal address rather than website address?

Anyways thanks for any help.

That's a very detailed analysis, D. Thanks!

I havent changed anything in the audio engine except the reverb. and for the reverb I DID fix an aliasing bug reported my sound designers.

Don't let me ruin your weekend, but as of next week you can test it yourself.

windows 64/ reaper/ ASIO4ALL driver

2.8.7/ oOhPad/ BEST/XXLARGE = NO problems. Plays flawless

2.8.9/ oOhPad/ BEST/XXLARGE = plays fine ( now set oOhPad as default and *best/*XXlarge as default in the audio engine and remove synthmaster track. Now reload synthmaster). = DOO DOO


I can "reset" the audio engine as a work around for now by lowering the quality settings and then bringing them back up, but every time I reload Synthmaster I will have to do it again.

Can you please send me your issue number ? or PM me the details for the transfer ?
As you could imagine I can NOT guess your details from your KVR nickname.

Workaround: Please use large buffer size with Best quality. I remember I fixed this issue for SynthMaster One, now will fix it for SynthMaster as well.

Alright, done.

I can reproduce this in Reaper. Large is as high as I can go without the issue.

Also reproduced it in Sonar, but was able to use XLarge. No to XXLarge though.

Tried in Tracktion Waveform, worked OK at XXLarge there.

Running 512 samples audio buffer in ASIO interface at 44100Hz.

I already reproduced it and the fix is on the way.

Just want to report some kind of bug in Layer1Filter2 Multi SM 2.8.9:

[kv331]

Guys,

2.8.10 is on the way tonight with the following fixes:

1. FIX: SynthMaster crashes when a skin with the correct size is not found.
2. FIX: Load Random preset menu doesn't work
3. FIX: SynthMaster generates noisy output when engine buffer size >= XLarge and engine quality >= Better
4. FIX: Portamento doesnt work when engine quality > Good and buffer size >= Large
5. FIX: SynthMaster throws "SynthMaster could not find data files" error on Windows
6. FIX: SynthMaster Windows setup doesnt write installation location to SynthMasterFolders.txt file on 64bit systems
7. FIX: SynthMaster prompts user to close and reopen plugin window when samples are imported
8. FIX: SynthMaster chooses wrong folder for sample import
9. FIX: Layer1:Filter2 Filter Type buttons control Layer1:Filter1 Filter Type

I am also going to update SynthMaster Player to v2.8.10 with 120% 140% 160% skins and new presets by Vandalism. The number of presets in the free version is gonna increase to 400.

[VELLISLAV]
