SynthMaster 3 Official Thread: SynthMaster 3/Player v3.4.9 Rev 17271 update

[kv331]

Any chance for automated update process (check for, download, install) in the (near) future ?

Looking for serial, download > 1,4 GB manually, installing manually......

As nice as it is that the bug fixes and improvements are coming but not much time left for working with it this way......

Coming up today with our v3.0.2 update. no more downloading 1.4 GB setup. It will be much much smaller. But to be able to download the update setup, you will need to check for updates inside the plugin window:

Great , this is really appreciated, was really kind of frustrating.

I know. If your revision is greater or equal to 15456, you will get the "update" setup, otherwise "full" setup. (15456 is our final setup which contained all of our factory samples)

placed everything in the synthmaster (2) folder; why am i seeing this (in SM3)? and how do i fix it? thx

Good question, why are there 2 Serene Worlds?

Can you also show a pic of what it looks like inside the synthmaster folder?

I'll look into the soon I get home

Just move over everything into the corresponding SM3 folders with the same folder structure (presets to presets, samples to samples, etc.) It seems okay on my end, problem solved.

Hi
How can we change a target in the modulation matrix ? It doesn’t seem to work.

Not possible at the moment, technical limitation. I hope I can fix this limitation in the future.

Create a new modulation matrix entry instead.

That's great news. Will that also remove the need to have SM2 installed when using SM3?

Not everyone who buys SM3 will have used SM2 already and it can be really confusing when things aren't working properly out of the box with only SM3.

EDIT: I am working on this. So that users can download SynthMaster 2 factory presets as an "expansion".

That's much better

Ideally, there's a pop-up at the start when opening SM3 for the first time prompting the user to download it.

The less a new user has to know before getting started, the better

I can't find one so I assume there isn't, but is there a manual for SM3 floating around?

Also, with the FM modes, I think I saw on some older screenshots there were operator (Op1, Op2, Op3...) elements on the routing panel for FM synthesis. But I can't find a way to create these in the release version. Have those been replaced by the Mod elements and the FM/PM input selector on the full oscillators?

There is no written manual yet, only video tutorials.

Please check out factory presets whose names start with DX7

I created all of those algorithm presets with oscillators and modulators. and then I renamed them as Op 1-6 (yes you can rename modules. double click on the module name on the tab)

Got it. That's neat, renaming could be really handy for remembering what I've done in patches. Thanks.

This is great news! I try to keep things pretty minimal--I only use a handful of tools, and replace them as I find better tools. I'm of the philosophy that one is better knowing their tools inside and out, and having the right tool for the job, rather than having dozens and dozens of tools and not knowing them very well. I appreciate that you are doing this!! It will help me clear up the clutter.

Thank you, that is a great solution.
