Great news 
One of my most favorite synths ever:)
Nice to see update.
Made so many presets for it last 5-6 years,can't count them:)
If there is future upgrades,some sort of extra saturation will nice, to give extra warm.
But that's just opinion,i used to saturate everything
To future users - Don't hesitate,it's superb synth.
The low price has nothing to do with quality of the sound.
It's kind of modern hybrid - classic analog sound and modern wavetable powers in a efficient pack
It can make more interesting stuff and it sounds thicker,than many legendary synths from the past.
Ask for JP 8000 or Virus type sound - you have 16 voice polyphony instead of 7 supersaw or 9 Virus Hypersaw.
Nice to see it's in the game again.Good job

I agree with @VELLTONE MUSIC!! This is one of my favorites!! The only thing it lacks is Linux Native support, which I hope will come someday. 
Vendor‑Dependent Copy Protection: Customers lose. Pirates win.
(Also: I'm Accused of lying about Linux—it boots, runs my pro audio workflow, stays stable, updates--though yearly dismissed as “niche”. Yet I'm the deluded one.)

The arpeggiator has midi-out, so it can be a sober drummer when the 'real' one has issues
The free ProteusVX plugin has about 20 varied drumkits if needed. Makes for a fun weekend

Seems hard to pass at that price. I only have a question. Future versions such SynthMaster One 2, SynthMaster One 3 etc, will open projects made with v1?
Thanks in advance

Hey, I'm using the latest version of Synthmaster One on Windows 10, and I still have problems with the FX section: Distortion, Equalizer, Compressor, Chorus, Delay, and Reverb are the only effects that work, the rest do not work at all. However all the effects work on the factory presets. It's just when I try to make a preset from scratch that it doesn't work.
"Reset to Defaults" and "Copy Settings" doesn't work with any preset.
Also, loading presets for the non-functioning results in the effect being replaced with one that works, e.g., I replace the chorus on the initialized preset with a phaser, load a preset, and the effect is switched back to chorus, but when I switch it back to phaser, the preset is loaded.

Thank you, that's very cool, when newer plugin versions loads older projects made with previous ones, instead to behave like a different plugin!kv331 wrote: Fri May 30, 2025 9:01 pmYes, backwards compatibility is our top priority.Frankie.T wrote: Fri May 30, 2025 8:29 pm Seems hard to pass at that price.
