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

[kv331]

Again, I can only get notes to hold for a longer period of time, but I can't get a single step to shorten to a half- or a quarter-step. Swiping left actually had the effect of lengthening notes. This just isn't working for me on my computer.

It is indeed working. But looks like the direction is reversed, I will fix that. When you shorten the note length, after 1, it becomes 1/2 , 1/3 and then 1/4. For those values, there are divider lines on the step volume to indicate that the length is smaller than 1. Maybe I should change their color so they are more visible.

I'm trying to import them to SM3 but when I click on 'import preset bank' nothing happens so I don't know how to get them into SM3.

Copy them under

My Documents/SynthMaster3/Presets folder

and it will see them.

Great, thanks! Copied across my favourites txt file as well and all working fine now

The latest version seems to be unusable in the latest versions of Ableton and Bitwig (at least with Windows 11), as well as Cubase 12. Audio previews of presets produce sound, but other than that, Synthmaster 3 doesn't seem to produce sound at all. Neither midi inputs nor Synthmaster's gui keyboard produce any sound. Synthmaster 2 and other VST instruments are working fine.

Assuming there isn't some simple way to correct this, could you please let us revert to the last version that was working?

Can NOT reproduce this, did you make any changes in global settings? like MIDI Input Channel ?
Try deleting config file: My Documents/SynthMaster3/Config/SynthMaster3Config.txt

Deleting the config file fixed it, thanks! (On my computer it was in Documents, not "My Documents".) [Edit: I hadn't made any changes in global settings after installing the new version.]

[Examigan]

Before deleting it, it might be good to look at that file to see what setting was off (maybe like Bulent mentioned, MIDI settings, etc.) in case it happens again.

Is there a way to have a button or setting in SM3 to delete that config file when things are not working right? Then the user doesn't have to look for wherever it is and delete it.

Before installing the new version, in the previous version I had installed (which was probably rev14735) I'd guess that I changed Global Midi Input Channel to MPE and Global Pitch Bend Range to 48.

Can it read loop points?

About that, I have an update: Looks like in sfz files you don't have to include loop start/end points IF the sample file contains that information in its headers. I just discovered this while loading free sfz files downloaded from the internet

So, the fix will be in 3.0.4. Also, I am adding support to read loop information from FLAC headers.

And streaming from disc too

I'm struggling sometimes with connecting FM oscillators together. I made a little video. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

When you mouse over the I/O pins, you should see a small translucent circle over the pin you're about to click on. Watch for this when attempting to make connections.

I'm doing that, though. You can see this in the screenshot of the movie I uploaded even

Are you sure you are running the latest version? Please check your version because I fixed the pins looking very small issue already.

What is your OS and monitor dimensions by the way ?

Here's how it looks on Windows with a 4K monitor, using 200% skin:

I just did a check-for-update and it thinks I'm on the latest version. I'm running MacOS Sequoia on a 32 inch 4K monitor.

In case it helps, this is full screen. I did actually successfully make a connection this time...
