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

Hi

Is it possible to modulate the VCF with the seq or arp
To achieve some intresting bass line like Enjoy the silence ?

Each arp/seq step has velocity, so you can assign MIDI Velocity as a modulation source for the filter cutoff. Maybe I need to add Seq Volume as another new modulation source?

Actually It will be a new product. a software version of OBX8, which can also be used as an OBX8 editor via sysex preset exchange.

Wow! I'll be first in line for that!

The dev bought a fine new hardware synth, and announced a new focus on sampling for SM3 purposes, and I think the capabilities of the new interface would be a fine combo.

That’s awesome!

I wish someone would make an emu of the Sub Phatty. I love the synth, but not dragging it around to set it up and play. It’s a bit heavy.

You have a busy year ahead, with products musicians will greatly appreciate!

It would be great if you could sequence the values for each macro. Both relative and absolute would be nice.

Do you mean use Sequencer/Arp step levels as a separate modulation source?

Yes. Like you can control the velocity per step, you could also set the value of a macro (or maybe even any modulateable parameter) per step.

You can probably do the same thing using a Step LFO, but keeping both in sync can be challenging.

Cubase 14 has a "parameter lane" in its new steps sequencer and I think that's quite cool

I also have plans for sysex preset exchange for Yamaha DX7 & Nord Lead 2 (and hopefully release separate products for them). Those 2 have thousands of presets on the internet. I also got a feature request for Synth1 integration. Apparently Synth1 has tens of thousands of presets on the internet

Since this is going to be a new synth from the ground up, is there any chance you can plan Linux binary support from the beginning on this one?

Let us finish the iPad version first:

Speaking of Linux, I am hoping to get a Raspberry Pi 5 development kit this year and try to run SynthMaster 3 engine inside it -if I have some spare time-

Sounds good!

Hi guys, we have a new update for SynthMaster 3: v3.1.2

This update is not announced on our server yet. So, I am posting dropbox links here for the incremental update setups. Windows update might throw unknown developer error, don't worry about that

Win: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/j8vl3poe ... 3tr0n&dl=0
Mac: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/sxbagqyk ... ddiqe&dl=0

Change Log for v3.1.2 (Revision 15937)

1. NEW: Added MIDI Learn for XY Pad controls
2. FIX: General Midi Drum Kit is missing in demo version of SynthMaster 3
3. FIX: When the plug-in window is closed while a popup window is displaying, SynthMaster 3 crashes
4. FIX: Changing sampling rate might crash granular oscillator
5. FIX: SynthMaster 3 might crash while switching presets with drum sequences
6. FIX: SynthMaster 3 might crash when waveform browser dialog is open and user switches to another layer
7. FIX: Waveform browser dialog doesn't locate single samples correctly
8. FIX: When moving modules using the routing view, modules should stay inside the routing view
9. FIX: Notes don't terminate when adsr envelope vintage amount is increased
10.FIX: Sample oscillators don't work correctly when layer voicing mode is set to Analog
11.FIX: Factory waveforms & samples of SynthMaster 2 are shown under Expansions category

Thanks Bulent.

I've never seen this level of support from devs except maybe one or two others at most, and I really appreciate it. I wish some of the others I have issues with would get on the ball.

Thanks Rob I hope it pays off eventually, so far SynthMaster 3 has been a disappointment for me business wise
