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

[ThomasHelzle]

I just tried to import this piano SFZ as a test case for larger sample sets to see if I can replace Kontakt for certain things:
https://ivyaudio.com/Piano-in-162
The SFZ loads fine, but I get a "missing samples" warning although the path seems to be correct.
Is it possible that SM3 does not load FLAC files? The file loader only shows wav and aif?
If that is the case: is that something that could be implemented?

Thanks,

Tom

Correct, we don't support flac files at the moment. It is certainly in my plans to add support for it. Hopefuly in version 3.1 in October, along CAF file support.

Hi guys, we are glad to announce SynthMaster 3 version 3.0.2 update. With this release, I can now proudly say that we released SynthMaster 3

Starting today, make sure you check for updates inside the plugin. This way you will be able to download our "update" installers which are much smaller than "full setup" installers.

There are many usability improvements and bug fixes in v3.0.2 update, the most important ones are the NKS support and audio preview features. With shift + mouse wheel for instance, you can listen to the audio previews very quickly as you can scroll up and down with the mouse scroll wheel. Same for shift+up/down arrow keys

@kv331 my sm3 license file does not seem to work anymore. While starting, that license popup appears, even if I enter my license data and click download license, nothing happens. If I download the license file from the user area and place it into ~/Documents/Synthmaster3, it still doesn't detect the license. Worked fine with 3.01.

The same problem here, license key downloaded from KV331 website also doesn't work

Same problem, licence doesn't seem to work anymore

I thought we were told that the software never needs to call home to authenticate..... In other words, we should be able to pull a copy off of a backup and use the serial/keyfile and be able to get things going without needing involvement from the company......

I just installed the latest Windows version (3.0.2) and it hangs Cubase with a blank plugin window. I was really enjoying the beta version and it was working great, I regret downloading the "ofiicial" version now. Anyone else have that issue or any suggestions how to fix it? Windows 10, Cubase 12. Thanks.

Yes, license file won't validate here, either.

Good morning @kv331,

fyi also if I click "email license", it errors with "no internet connection" (macos 14.5), even though I am 100% sure internet is available and unblocked. Later I also received those emails.

Same here, license 'invalid' problems. Latest versions of OSX Sonoma / Logic Pro
Installed an older build but it didn't solve the problem...

Guys, I apologise for this issue. Looks like it affected users who did not have any expansions in their accounts. (It's a bug in the code) . Fix coming in 2 hours. Please PM me your registered email addresses and tell me which 3 expansions you'd want from us. This would resolve the issue on your end
