This happens with VST2 and VST3 (btw, no CLAP version ? :) )
Didn't try the standalone though (not even sure I have it installed)
Do you have custom waveforms / samples / presets under Documents/SynthMaster folder? I am wondering if it is stuck while reading those.

Try starting out with a clean Documents/SynthMaster folder (try moving everything to somewhere else except SynthMasterLicenseKey.txt file)

Also, try to delete c:\users\public\public documents\synthmaster folder (the expansions are stored under Presets folder here)

I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling etc. Still a no-go this morning. Will not load in standalone, freezes Nuendo. Windows 11. I feel like I was on .15 before moving to .17. No custom waveforms, all stock with the normal expansion packs. No custom made patches.

Edit- As a note Synthmaster 2 standalone shows up in Task Manager as a background app using CPU (14-17%) but not as an active app, and of course no GUI. I walked away for some prep chores for about 30 minutes. Still using CPU as a background process, still no GUI.

Big improvement here, thank you !

For those struggling with this update (missing GUI, freezing DAW, etc.), backing up and then removing the Documents\Synthmaster folder, sans the license, seems to do the trick. I restored my expansions (36 of 38 reinstalled).

Things appear to work.

Great to hear that.

So, in those cases a clean installation is the path to go:

For Windows:

1. Delete c:\users\public\public documents\synthmaster folder
2. Backup and delete my documents\snythmaster folder
3. Reinstall v2.9.17 full setup after downloading from: https://www.synthmaster.com/userarea.aspx

For MacOS:

1. Delete /users/shared/synthmaster folder
2. Backup and delete documents\snythmaster folder
3. Reinstall v2.9.17 full setup after downloading from: https://www.synthmaster.com/userarea.aspx

Any hint ?

Try also deleting C:\Program Files\KV331 Audio\SynthMaster folder and then reinstall.

@kv331 Deleting the program files folder did the trick ! Thanks a lot ^^

Sadly I still have my old bug that I had with the previous version, I made a screenshot :

Everytime I right click on the banks, a "clear browser filters" is appearing, and it seems I can't download my banks anymore.
Thanks already for your help !
