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

[kv331]

1. The use of the mouse scroll wheel for selecting (waveform, preset, etc.) is a great and convenient idea. However, this can cause issues for us Apple Magic Mouse users. The thing is, we don't have a physical scroll wheel, and the entire mouse surface is sensitive to "scrolling," which sometimes leads to accidental scroll triggers. I've lost custom waveforms that I spent tens of minutes adjusting simply by accidentally scrolling. My suggestion to address this would be to add an option in the settings to disable this behavior (the simplest solution), but a more appropriate fix could be adding a keyboard modifier (cmd, option, control, etc.), ideally allowing the user to set a custom one.

Hi there

This issue is now fixed in yesterday's update (15544)

To scroll through waveforms / wavetables / samples, user should press Shift when using the mouse scroll wheel.

I am going to go through the other issues you reported as well. one by one

Cheers

Well, I have to be. Because it's a very tough market, believe me We are literally trying to survive! Spent so much money on presets, advertising (MusicRadar, Production Expert, SonicState, Facebook/Instagram) and yet I don't see any results yet to justify that much expenditure. I hope that it's because the holiday season hasn't started yet...

I hope too because your suite of software definitely is worth it.

can confirm, lovely support!

i dunno why Synthmaster it seems lacks more hype. i didnt use/checked it pre-synthmaster 2 myself too but with v3 it got more and more interesting. maybe you need 1 finger preset videos Bülent .

Some of default presets are really inspirational.
Like to make my own variations.
Few was just uploaded in download section.

If you get it into the hands and DAWs of some of the YouTube Producer/Influencer folks, you may get some more interest (as much as I kinda love/hate this aspect of modern music production).

I gotta be honest- I had never really heard much about Synthmaster at all until I saw Venus Theory fiddle around with it. This was SM2 and it prompted me to take a look and end up buying it. Bear in mind, I know absolutely f**k all about marketing and as I said, somewhat loathe the intersection of music gear and modern internet culture, but I would think this is probably the most direct way to reach a larger audience.

Is the manual linked up somewhere in the plugin? I didn't see it if it's there.
It's always handy to have quick access to a manual.

Hi Rob

We don't have a written user manual yet.

Ok thanks. The videos you created are very helpful! If I had more time I’d take a stab and trying to get the basics of a manual started myself.

kv331 products used to be cheaper,but more advanced than the most in the VA league,which wasn't very clear to mass users imho and now have to convince people willing to pay 100 - 150 bucks ,which was not kv331 users,that the new synth worth it,that's why sells are low imo.
Top shelf is empty,people with free 150 euro,need to be convinced with something more and different.
Also the bad carma for not playing /paying to me
I give some ideas for free,nobody give a huck,so im not surprised that,the best viirtual synth ever created, isn't hit yet.

Make a Synthmaster HZ version

Synthmaster 2 was one of the first virtual instruments I ever bought, followed by ElectraX and then too many to count, but SM2 has been used more or less continuously since, compared to any of my other synths. I guess it is well known on KVR, but not so much elsewhere?

I asked Kevin Schroeder to show Hanz Zimmer SynthMaster 3, but Kevin is very busy, he hasn't checked out SynthMaster 3 himself yet.

We are still cheaper than most competition:

SynthMaster 3: $149
SynthMaster Producer Bundle (SynthMaster 1+2+3 and 10 expansion banks): $199

By the way, how does Synthmaster 3 SFZ usage work? Do you simply parse directly from the SFZ script, or do you import to an internal format?

Parse SFZ directly. Also, when saving, we save the multisample data as sfz text.

Oh! This is really useful to know!! You've essentially got an SFZ "sampler" built into this plugin already!! Very nice!! Is it possible to be able to visually keymap samples and zones yet? There is currently only one other sampler that can export SFZ, and it comes from a shady developer, whose company name ends in .....DSP. I would much prefer to not have to deal with that developer any more. If your software could handle all of the SFZ sampling capabilities, that would be awesome!!
