Hi folks,

Here's our last update for SynthMaster One: v1.4 Beta.

Screen Shot 2020-06-25 at 00.21.13.jpg

This update has a new skin Satyatunes created for Fishman. Starting this summer, SynthMaster One will be bundled free with Fishman's wireless Triple Play MIDI Guitar controller. If any of our existing SynthMaster One users already owns this controller, we'll add a $59 credit to their account.

Aside from the new skin, we also added a new MIDI input mode: "Multi". This one is similar to "MPE" but doesn't have a global channel (0) like MPE does.

Mono presets have not been mono-per channel so far, so we also fixed that critical issue. So now they will behave correctly in MPE and Multi modes.

Here's the entire change log:

1. NEW: Added new Fishman Triple Play skin by Satyatunes
2. NEW: Added support for MIDI CC 126 (Mono Mode On) and CC 127 (Poly Mode On)
3. NEW: Added new MIDI Input Channel type Multi for MIDI Guitars
4. FIX: Mono presets should be mono per channel for multi-channel (Multi/MPE) input
5. FIX: Vertical alignment of many user interface elements are incorrect
6. FIX: When number of ASIO devices is greater than 32, SynthMaster One standalone (Windows) crashes
7. FIX: Buttons on License Key File dialog don't work in SynthMaster One standalone (Windows)

Unless there are no showstopper issues in this build, we'll release it officially next week.

Now, let's go back to SynthMaster v2.9.9 development

Hi Richard

Text vertical alignment issues are fixed in v1.4, I guess I finally learned how to calculate
Text heights on Win/Mac correctly

Thank you Bulent.

It is indeed so much better.
Thank you.

If you want me to nitpick, two minor things.

The "Fattee" is not exactly centered vertically (but this is just nit picking and I can definitely live with it as is)

And on PC, it orders tyour Banks Alphabetically. that is Big Tone, then Natlife then EDM.
On Mac it doesn't

This is as good as it gets so far

Works for me.
Thanks

The new skin is already my default skin.
The only one other thing I found is that the Graphical Pitchwheel defaults all the way down (with the modwheel, which should) as opposed to center.

And some other minor glitches... your call clearly whether to address or not.

2. NEW: Added support for MIDI CC 126 (Mono Mode On) and CC 127 (Poly Mode On)

Great skin, very smart.

Now I have some complaint about the sound quality (I have set the synth to its maximum quality).
I was making a kick, but it always had a zipper noise on a decay. I don't have this issue with other synths. I have attached the preset and the audio file. Note that I have boosted the highs so that it would more obvious (I can hear it without the boost).

Audio: https://sndup.net/6grj
Preset: https://ufile.io/berpu3yc

Is there a way to improve this? Thank you.

So what is wrong with the quality, Bullent?

I must be deaf, don't hear the zipper noise. Or I don't know what a zipper noise is, hehe

Are you talking about the pitch modulation sound?

Igro · Post by **Igro** » Sat Aug 22, 2020 10:37 am

I'm talking about the noise right after the decay ends. It shouldn't be there. It is just a pitched sine.

Still waiting what Bullent thinks about it.

Just to let you know all that latest version of SynthMaster One 1.4.2 does not update. when you run the installation file. it never updates. So feel free to check it.

I hear what sounds like a delayed white noise sound, but I don't hear zipper noise. It's too quiet or my ears are not good enough anymore.
