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

[kv331]

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.

Now I see what the problem is. Looks like on MacOS you can change the resolution of a 4K monitor from retina (1920x1080) to nonretina (3840x2160). I believe yours is like that.

Anyhow, I will fix this issue in the next build. The workaround could be using the monitor in retina mode.

Ah, are you talking about this thing?

Yep. Looks like they introduced these new settings in MacOS 13.

I wan t to ask a humble question and preliminary sorry if it is discussed already,don't follow everything here - if a sm1 preset have fm/pm modulation as sub osc,what happened in SM3 when play such preset?
Is there internal fm/pm modulation or just ignore it?
Am i missing it or there is no such options in sm3?
I have a lot of FM presets for sm1 and some of them sounds better in sm3 - in sm1 without fm/pm sound lose the character,but in sm3 have bright,polished sound.
Just curious about FM in SM3,used to play with sm1 and fm sub osc modulation and have no idea how to make such in sm3...

A modulator is used to modulate the oscillator with AM/FM/PM:

Ok thanks,my bad :)I didn't realize it's the same structure as sm2

Hi guys, after a long while, I am glad to announce a new update for SynthMaster 3: v3.0.4 (Rev 15611). This update has many new features and critical bug fixes: Please check for updates inside SynthMaster 3 to download the latest update (around 120 MB download)

New Features:

1. When user moves mouse over a synth module tab, tooltip now displays the name and type of module

2. SynthMaster 3 presets can now be loaded into layers

3.0.4-load sm3 preset.jpg

3. Added single wav/aif file drag-n-drop support for wavetable display

3.0.4-drag-n-drop wavetable.jpg

4. Added preset file drag-n-drop support for preset dropdown control

3.0.4-load preset.jpg

5. Modulation source names can now be edited by double clicking on the modulation source name

3.0.4-rename mod sources.jpg

6. When changing discrete values with mouse wheel, the values are now clipped instead of wrapped around when they reach min/max values

7. SynthMaster 3 now reads the "natural" trackpad scroll setting on MacOS

8. Added new "Show" icon/menu for modules tab control

3.0.4-mod src show menu.jpg

9. Added horizontal mouse scroll wheel support for sample regions view

10. Added "chromatic" and "same key" import types for the sample regions view to import samples without root key/velocity information

Bug Fixes:

1. When sampling rate changes, granular osc might crash
2. Loading SynthMaster 2 presets into new layers doesn't work and ends up with a warning message
3. Left/Right arrows don't work correctly for Sample view control
4. SynthMaster One factory presets are listed twice if user installs SynthMaster One after SynthMaster 3
5. Delay effect's left/right delay length parameters are not modulateable
6. Switching from bipolar to unipolar waveshaper curve doesn't work correctly and might crash SynthMaster 3
7. Closing the wavetable editor window when the number of frames textbox has focus might crash SynthMaster 3
8. SFZ files might not load correctly when the sfz definition contains comments
9. SynthMaster 3 should read loop points from wav/aif/flac files when the sfz definition has regions with looping enabled but their loop points are missing in the sfz definition
10. SynthMaster 3 doesn't read end of FLAC files correctly
11. SynthMaster 3 crashes when reading a WAV file with metadata text longer than 256 characters
12. SynthMaster 3 might crash when reading file extensions of files with no extensions
13. SynthMaster 3 might crash when SFZ definition contains embedded sample data
14. SynthMaster 3 VST3 doesn't display the name of the loaded preset correctly after reopening editor window
15. When a wavetable file is dropped on to the wavetable waveform view, the wavetable is not loaded
16. Made it easier to drag-n-drop module input/output ports and create connections between them inside the routing view

Cheers

Brilliant, thanks Bulent. A quick test and I'm wiring up modulators a bit easier now. Excellent!

One question, possibly out of my own ignorance... is it correct that when the carrier oscillator is set to a spectrum algorithm, it can be modulated, but when you change to bend/sync/pulse/other, it ignores the modulators?

Edit: I'm talking about FM modulation here...

Correct. Those waveshaping algorithms can not do audio rate modulations yet.

Thanks for the quick response! You're teasing me with that "yet" . Does that mean it's something you plan to add at some point?

Before adding that, I need to separate the algorithm parameters from the phase parameter. Many algorithms use the phase parameter as its algorithm parameter, which prevents the user from setting the phase of the oscillator.

I see. Well that would be one of my most wanted features now, and of course I'm sure you have a huge list.

Another would be that it would be nice to be able to modulate the EZ macros. I like to use an EZ macro to build up a set of modulations, and test them for their whole range by twisting the knob, and then to control that with an envelope (for example). I've been doing that with the "Via" field in the mod matrix, which is fine, but ideally I'd like to make a macro and then modulate it with an envelope AND also an LFO. It just makes sound design really pleasant.

Anyway, not to overload you. What an amazing synth, and a great update for me, so thank you so much.

8. Added new "Show" icon/menu for modules tab control

Thanks for the update! The "Show" icon is missing on my system (vst2, win10).
