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

[soundman007]

Enjoying Synthmaster 3 but have a problem with preset classes. With 5000 presets it requires a good system. I do not use SEQ or ARP sounds, and these are abundantly present, even if you choose say e.g. Flute or Organ you get a load of ARP and SEQ presets which in my opinion do not belong there. Actually they should have a completely separate class by themselves. Is there a way to change this?

I understand your pain, we didn't touch whatever the sound designers assigned for the categories. If we have time, we will edit at least the incorrect categories by writing some script and remove them.

I agree with this. It’s a pain scrolling past all the ARP and SEQ presets to get to the ones of the category I was looking for.

Thank you

Unfortunately, we are having the worst black friday ever, and I wonder how we will keep this going…

I'm sorry to hear that. Competition has gotten crazy strong and selling a modular synth in considerable numbers has been difficult to begin with.

I really hope you'll find a way because I don't want to miss out on all the beautiful sounds coming from SM3.

[Benjamin923]

Hang in there, Bulent. I've been a SynthMaster user for a long time, it's an admired piece of software in my collection and I consider it a staple of the synth market.

It's such a powerful and well-featured synth with such a remarkable array of presets at an unbelievable price. I highly recommend anyone who doesn't have it consider picking it up.

Sorry to hear about the problems.

SM in all its flavors is great.
It's not reviewed as much as it should be.

i am making for my own use two packs - 100 flamenco guitars and 100 kicks for sm3,but will release them as commercial packs as well when ready (they are actually ready, but made with sm1 and need calibration
Don't think many other synths can do such an authentic/convincing guitar and kick sounds.
The big difference between samples and synth presets is option for real time reshaping and general more dynamic sound,compared to static sample sound.
If interested, kv331 may offer sets on their site.
Don't see anything like this as expansion.
Cheers

Any progress on this because it is hard to find good presets. For example if you choose Synth Pad then you get FX, BAS, ARP, LEAD, ORG etc all stuff which does not belong there and you have to wade through it whereas you should only get sounds listed as PAD. Is there any possibility to rearrange things ourselves if you cannot get round to doing it? Would gladly help out.

There is no progress yet. But I promise I will visit this issue hopefuly in January during our SynthMaster 3 Player iOS release.

There is a workaround by the way: enter the category on the preset name textbox to search presets by name: "PAD " for instance would list all pads. The category prefix in the preset names should be accurate hopefuly.

[soundman007]

Thanks a lot for your reply, will try the workaround. And good luck with the business going forward.

We started our SynthMaster One giveaway last night, although haven't announced it yet! The giveaway will last for 3 weeks, until January 4.

For existing SynthMaster One users, we will be sending our credit coupons up to $39, so that they can get free expansions with their credit coupons.

Next week we will also send out Everything Bundle credit coupons to all our paid users who haven't upgraded to Everything Bundle yet.

We hope that these efforts would result in improved business

I bought today on plugin boutique. Just to support as I didn't need this. I wish I would of bought directly through you. There's a big where and parts give sample load error. Will this be fixed? Also, there's lots of duplicate presets. Any fix for these in the works. This seems really buggy however, this probably my favorite sounding synth preset wise. Has really usable presets. Inspiring ones to say the least. Please fix these. I'll even buy a copy directly from your site just to support.

Ha! Just purchased synthmaster 3 and received no serial number. Pretty sweet.
