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.:mad:
(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 :wink:
The free ProteusVX plugin has about 20 varied drumkits if needed. Makes for a fun weekend :hyper:

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

Yes, backwards compatibility is our top priority.

and SM3 already can load SM1 presets (it can even load them into layers)

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.

I would start a new thread for each of your problems.

Kind regards,

Thank you, that's very cool, when newer plugin versions loads older projects made with previous ones, instead to behave like a different plugin!
