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

[kv331]

Should it produce gaps in the playback when playing the slices one after the other as I demonstrated in that video? No!

That IS an expected feature of playing audio in sliced mode. It is not a bug.

and you have no right to bash/insult my product like this. Please watch your language. You do not know the amount of effort and sacrifice that went into building this product. This is a single developer product. Not built by a team, like Serum 2 or others.

So, in conclusion, the problem was not my use of a "single note decaying guitar sample", the problem is the buggy implementation of the slice mode in your software.

typically, a slice tool is for loop

Correct, but indeed it was buggy when engine sample rate > region sample rate. Issue fixed now

Is there a video showing how to use that, or maybe just text on the steps to use slices?

I’d also like an easier way to loop regular samples. I remember you said there was a better way to do that a while back, but for now I just try to do it manually and it can take a while.

What if you would add a second "algorithm" slot to the wavetable OSC? So that you can use two algorithms in serial and also swap the slots, similar to Serum 2? Also some "algorithms" in Serum 2 provide actually two parameters at once, not only one, often then mix amount. Which is very helpful.

I also wonder if these algorithms could be used on the VAnalog OSC, too?

Or maybe "algorithm" could be actually a modular element to be placed after any kind of OSC? Then you could shrink the amount of controls inside some OSCs, which would be a benefit for the multi-OSC GUI modes.

Or any controls of "algorithm" could be put into a new tab, like "OSC / VOICES / ALGO". Again maybe a benefit for the multi-OSC view mode.

I would prefer implementing the "second" algorithm as a separate module, like the "Waveshaper". That is much easier.

As for adding more parameters for algorithms, yes that is in my mind, but I need to figure out how to lay out the parameters neatly on the UI without creating clutter.

For those of you who already own it, please check for updates inside SynthMaster 3. With the new update, you will be able to preview expansion banks that you don't own right inside the preset browser.

Here's the changelog for SynthMaster v3.2.1 (Rev 16043)

New Features:

1. Added PluginBoutique Rent-to-own support
2. Added preset previews for preset banks that users don't have a license for

Bug Fixes:

1. Restore expansions doesn't restore all expansions
2. Cloud access not working on MacOSX
3. Routing view displays all modules on the left top corner
4. SynthMaster 2 presets with after filter distortion are not loaded correctly
5. When a SynthMaster One preset is loaded, the macros values and texts should be reset
6. SynthMaster 3 might crash after presets are downloaded from Public User Library
7. Sliced playback algorithm on samples doesn't work correctly when engine quality is higher than Draft
8. When LFO Speed value is typed, it is not parsed correctly
9. SynthMaster 3 might crash when initializing a preset that had parameters midi learned previously
10. SynthMaster 3 crashes when more than 8 simultaneous regions play on a multisample
11. SynthMaster 3 doesn't recognize 'key' token in sfz files
12. SynthMaster 3 crashes when user selects a sample/multisample from the waveform browser window, and then double clicks on the osc waveform view
13. SynthMaster 3 skin fonts are not installed correctly on MacOS
14. SynthMaster 3 Windows VST2 build is not compiled with optimizations

Cheers

Congrats on the release!

How do I download NKS presets for the expansions? I seem to have them for Synthmaster 2 but not Synthmaster 3? I tried doing it through the shop browser but nothing happened, it just said they had all downloaded but they hadn't.

You can download expansion previews in 2 ways:

1. By clicking on the "Preview" button on the Preset Browser.
2. By clicking on the preset name on the top header.

Yes I did that and it said all downloaded but it took about a second so I don't think they did and I can't see them in the KK browser or NKS location they should be in on the hard drive

Oh you are talking about expansion presets under KK. Unfortunately they don't show up yet for SynthMaster 3. For SynthMaster 2, they do show up. (SynthMaster 2 / SynthMaster 3 show up separately under KK). I will try to add the expansions to KK when I have time.

Hi, "Snap arp start to DAW beat" doesn't work ("Snap sequencer" works fine). SM3 vst2 win10.

Hold on… there is a slice feature in the wave editor?

Yes. I am hoping to shoot a video on the Multisample editor / Granular Osc this week.

Basically, open up the multisample editor, select a region, set the playback mode to "Slice":

Set the Detection mode to "User". Play with Detection sensitivity to change the detection of slices.

You can manually add/remove slices:

1. Double click adds a new slice
2. Right click deletes an existing slice
