The thread has been reported so we can stop complaining about it. Just stop commenting, which I'm now about to do, and it will go away. Problem solved.

Funny, no one ever reports SampleTank being in the wrong forum. (Belongs in Samplers, etc.)
Or when Will K. is blasting us with multiple threads on multiple sub-forums more suited to his own forum with a bunch of profiles recently created 'discussing' them.
Generally, everyone knows this is the forum that gets seen the most and therefore jumps into it whether it belongs here or not. Or whether the posters are even real or just a created strawdawg profile for the sake of promotion. Seems like a "newbie" should be given the most consideration instead of the least.

Actually I do every single time he creates a new one for "updates" or any stupid things like this. And it produces strictly no result. The threads are still here.

Actually, no, I didn't report the thread. I just happen to know it was and I'll leave it at that.

I would suggest a slightly different approach for the OP. Synthmaster is a great choice for overall bang for the buck. But for a very first synth to be used as a learning device, I would recommend just sticking with a more focused subtractive-only instrument. Take a look a Rob Papen Preditor 2. It's got a massive range (and an ocean of presets). A beginner could easily be distracted with extras like wave-table capability. By the time one learns all that can be done with an instrument like Predator 2, considerable time will likely have passed and maybe the budget will then accommodate an additional instrument with more bells and whistles.

There are other worthy subtractive-only synths - some of them free or inexpensive. But Predator 2 would be a great starting place that would not be outgrown no matter how much sophistication a beginner might develop.

Has this been mentioned?
https://www.audiodamage.com/collections ... d033-basic

"commercial-quality low-cost three oscillator subtractive mono-synth available for the educational market."

ie, it's designed to teach synthesis.

just starting out? a beginner? be smart, learn with free synths. then move on to
bigger guns if you feel you need them.

No problem. Thread moved.

Good call. If you feel like you want to go further, get a good payware synth.

Steinbergs Halion 6.

Best all in one synth for beginners?
