A tiny glitch of the UI:
When you duplicate an OSC it gets a new number, but this doesn't happens when you duplicate a Layer: Feature request: allow the user to rename Layers and maybe OSC and MODs.

A tiny UI glitch:
This screenshot show the mod matrix for LFO1.
If i delete it SM3 picks Env1 (as the first in the mod list, i guess): but the Mod Matrix is updated only when I click on the Env1 tab again: I think it should be updated automatically.

QoL feature request:
some presets have all the MOD "instantiated", but very few of them are actually modding something.
But there's no way to get which one is used and which are unused, at a glance. I'd like to see which one is "active" both in the tabs (different color?) and in the menu (an icon?).
Also, a "purge" menu command that deletes all the unused ones could be useful.

I’m pretty sure SM3 does everything (and much more) that SM2 does.

Hi guys,
After a long while, we have a new update for SynthMaster 3: v3.4.8
We have 3 new features in this update:
1. Piano view now displays keys with color coding: Gray for disabled, red for samples, blue for drum kits
2. SynthMaster 3 now remembers the last 20 "Recent Presets"
3. Added Undo/Redo for preset load so that users can revert back to previous preset
There are also critical bug fixes:
1. SynthMaster 3 might crash if license key file doesn't exist
2. SynthMaster 3 standalone resets default preset to blank
3. SynthMaster 3 doesn't refresh license key file when a new license is added to user account
4. When entering filter cutoff/resonance values by text, the frequency/resonance values are displayed incorrectly
5. SynthMaster 3 might crash when converting samples to wavetables

Right on for the Undo/Redo function for presets! The updates have been very helpful, so thank you for the consistency, and for your open communication here.kv331 wrote: Sat Mar 07, 2026 9:27 am Hi guys,

You actually listen to the community, who has all kinds of interesting ideas, and you’re implementing the requested features that would be beneficial for the synth.
That shows how a collaborative effort can result in a better product. SM3 is coming along very nicely. I’m installing 3.4.8 now.

Thank you for your encouraging comments! I hope these efforts pay off, because we're heading towards a terrible decline financially...morphex wrote: Mon Mar 09, 2026 4:57 pm Right on for the Undo/Redo function for presets!

I will be releasing a new update next week (v3.4.9) which hopefuly addresses the above issues.Parduz wrote: Fri Feb 13, 2026 11:38 pm QoL feature request:

For those of you who want use SynthMaster 3 Player (and soon SynthMaster 3) inside Logic Pro iOS & MacOS, wait no more! With our v3.4.9 update this will be possible

Ive given up on all of the Synthmaster synths 1 2 and 3. I never turn my pc or cubase off and when I go back to it in the morning after being left on overnight, synthmaster has just stopped working. Stopped responding to midi? 
If I select the next preset and go back to the original it works. Sometimes it catches me out cos I can’t work out what sound is missing. Really weird behaviour. It’s like it goes into sleep mode! I’ve raised it with KV331. It’s a shame because these are really good synths. Id use them a lot more if this was fixed

That's really a weird issue, but there is a simple workaround: reload your DAW project. Does it still not work when you reload the DAW project? Was transport running when you left your computer overnight? Does it happen with all DAWs or Cubase only?ramseysounds wrote: Sun Mar 15, 2026 1:14 pm Ive given up on all of the Synthmaster synths 1 2 and 3.

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but do you mean that we can't currently run Synthmaster 3 in Logic Pro on a Mac?kv331 wrote: Fri Mar 13, 2026 4:50 pm For those of you who want use SynthMaster 3 Player (and soon SynthMaster 3) inside Logic Pro iOS & MacOS, wait no more!

No no no. You misunderstoodMorty-C-137 wrote: Sun Mar 15, 2026 1:51 pm Maybe I am misunderstanding, but do you mean that we can't currently run Synthmaster 3 in Logic Pro on a Mac?
What I am saying is, to be able to open Logic Pro iOS project files that have SynthMaster 3 Player AUv3 inside them, you would need desktop version 3.4.9 and above.

To be honest, I really don't want to have to reload my project each and every time. Every single other vst works fine. It is really weird behaviour as you say. It's a shame because I really do like your synths!kv331 wrote: Sun Mar 15, 2026 1:36 pmThat's really a weird issue, but there is a simple workaround: reload your DAW project.

Edit - I only use Cubase so can’t comment on other DAWs and the project is stopped, no transport running. W11 Cubase Pro 13 if it helps, but I don't think its either of them.
