SynthMaster v2.9.9 RC (Rev 10237) released: NOT a minor update though! ;)

Agreed and I believe that's a font installation bug! Are you on Windows or MacOS ?

Windows 10 64 bit.

Windows 10 64 bit.

Well, in that case it's really weird. Do you have "Century Gothic" font under Fonts directory ?

Thanks!

Now it works. I had to change the selection from windows to all.

No I don't see Century Gothic in my Fonts directory.

I don't see Century Gothic on that list.

You are sure it comes with Windows 10 Bulent?

I also have exactly same issue with fonts overlapping .

Futhermore apearently blue skin is using some of the assets from the dark skin. Looks unfinished and weird.

I searched for Century Gothic from the Font Manager and found nothing. I did however find it for sale for $49

My bad I looked at the following page:

EDIT: The following site says it's part of Windows, and there's a way to recover it:

I would love SM very much as goto synth, I like even the old GUI, if it would not be buggy as hell. Wanted to check if something improved, but found 1st bug after 1 min. Do init patch, then Inserting distortion as FX (seems to play no role, if layer or bus), activating it and cranking drive leads to no sound. Deactivating distortion brings sound back, but distortion module is smashed then. I mean OK, it's a beta, but nevertheless the release versions are also the buggiest music SW, I ever had on my hands. This prevents me from using it. A pity, because synth architecture and sound are very outstanding.

Well, if this is gonna be your deciding criteria -after all the improvements & fixes- don't use it! switch to something else. Problem solved!

(I will look into this bug regardless)

Hm, I hoped to get an answer like:

„Thank you for your honest feedback. It’s a pity that our product couldn’t convince you in terms of quality, although you in general like it. We focussed the last years mainly on our iOS versions, what unfortunately lead to not being able to fix all issues on the desktop versions in front of the background, that we nevertheless added many features. In direction to version 2.9.9 and 3 we started a quality initiative to deliver again a product, which is able to fulfill your and our professional expectations. I would appreciate, if you give our product then a second chance.
Sincerly .... „

I was waiting a long time on SM3. But now you convinced me to drop it. Thanks for your time to answer me.

That Link for the recovery of Century Gothic is useless if you didn't delete the font rather recently.
I found a free download here though:
https://www.cufonfonts.com/font/century-gothic
Seems to work for me.

I didn't have the font on Windows 8.1 x64 either.
Better do your research a bit more thoroughly next time...

I'd say visually Synthmaster still has a ways to go, but I can live with the white skin.
The dark one somehow doesn't do it for me with it's weird colors, although usually I'm into dark interfaces a la Bitwig or Vital etc.

Cheers,

Tom

I think that link is pretty old. Windows does not find Century Gothic and it was never deleted from this system.

I did find a download for the Fonts here:

https://www.wfonts.com/font/century-gothic

I installed them and it fixed the skin but if Windows has stopped installing that font you don't want everybody to have to install a font just to use the plugin.

EDIT: Tom beat me to it.....

Agreed. I will replace the font reference in the skin file with an open source one.

Thank you once again

I do see that font is included in the SM Font Folder but shows as a ttc instead of a ttf file so I don't know if that makes a difference:

I strongly advice to kv331 to double check all the presets and expansions. Just by browsing from 1 till 20 i found that abc organ patches from 1 to 7 are all broken. They don't play. Who knows how many patches are broken. Just randomly browsing Arp flubber is also broken.
