One Synth Challenge #146: Sinmad by NUSofting (Double Tap Wins!)

[Ah_Dziz]

Is anyone else getting a full loss of audio output while tweaking sounds? The "scope still shows a small signal but it is inaudible. I started building some drums and all the instances died off. Reloading didn't fix it either. I'll get with the dev for an official bug report, but I'm wondering if anyone else has/had this problem and maybe I just screwed something up.

It says "copy the entire "Sinmad" folder to my vst folder" but the entire Sinmad folder has two versions of Sinmad and the Mac installers in it. So I copied the most up to date version folder along with all the subfolders. Is this wrong? If the parent folder is "64bitvsts" what should the folder tree inside that be for windows? I installed the recommended update just to be sure as well.

Any help is appreciated,
JJ

On Windows you only need what's inside "0.9.8 VST2 X64 Windows", pick that "Sinmad" folder and copy it into your "vstplugins" directory. The picture shows what must be inside the folder:

For the audio issue please let me know the versions of both Windows and DAW you use. Thanks.

That's how I copied it. I'm on cubase 8.5 (latest point update) and windows 7 64 bit fully up to date.

Gonna try Bitwig to get something going tomorrow.

I'm thinking chill/downtempo/dub/electronica for the 2nd project, but i haven't a clue what to call myself!

Clearly Spring Goose is for uptempo stuff, while Fall Goose is for downtempo

"Fall Fowl"

Thanks, but does it have to be another goosey name?

Then Autumn Birds sounds a great chill-out band name.

Hi everybody, good news about Sinmad 1.0.0 (more bugs fixed and some new features), I just tested it on macbook pro [Mojave] in Garageband and Reaper, on Windows 10 in Live, Reason, Cakewalk, Reaper, BitWig:
it worked very good.
So I hope to have the 1.0.0 official installers for the next weekend.

I will also test it on Catalina and Bis Sur macOS ASAP.

Many thanks for all reports you sent.

I do like it, but i dunno cos it makes me think of Autumn Leaves by Coldcut. Thanks liqih.

I updated my track to improve the sound - mostly making it less muffled. Many thanks to SeBaer for a lot of detailed feedback on how to fix it. It's still not perfect but I've reached the limit of my present(!) abilities. Sorry to Maltoné, you already made a thoughtful comment on my track and it's now deleted.
