Hi guys
We are glad to announce another big update for SynthMaster 3 & SynthMaster 3 Player: v3.4.9
This update bring the following new features:
1. SynthMaster 3 / SynthMaster 3 Player AUv3 chunk data saved with Logic Pro iOS can now be opened with Logic Pro Mac
2. Added the ability to delete unused modulation sources
3. When user moves mouse over a knob/slider, the modulation sources are listed in the tooltip description
4. When user moves mouse over a modulation source, the modulation targets are listed in the tooltip description
5. Added 'upgrade bundle' feature for bundle products through the in app shop
6. Added 'Add New Region' menu to sample editor to be able to add existing sample files as new regions
7. Added fade in/fade out of audio during preset loads
There are also critical bug fixes in this update. We urge everything to download and install this update:
1. Preset preview playback calculation happens in real-time audio thread, causing serious dropouts
2. Velocity glide doesn't work correctly for mono legato layers
3. SynthMaster 2 presets older than version 2.7 sound different compared to SynthMaster 2
4. When a layer is duplicated, the name of the new layer is not updated, it stays the same as the source layer
5. When a modulation source is deleted, the first modulation source is selected, but the mod matrix is not refreshed to show targets for that source.
6. When loading SynthMaster 2 presets, unused modulation sources should be removed
7. Removing the last module in the routing view might crash SynthMaster 3
8. Pressing Previos button to move to the previous preset might incorrectly move to the end of the presets list
9. Deleting a modulation source and then undoing that edit doesn't restore the previous state correctly
10.After running SynthMaster 3 / SynthMaster 3 Player for more than a couple of hours, the synth stops processing MIDI messages

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.

Also, a "purge" menu command that deletes all the unused ones could be useful.

We are very close to releasing SynthMaster 3 Player iOS. Once the final UI skin is complete, we will release it. Here's the prototype beta skin:
It is available on TestFlight at: https://testflight.apple.com/join/dn3rexe8
Once we release the Player, we will start working on SynthMaster 3.5. I am hoping to make further UI/UX improvement with this version, and it will be released on iOS as well hopefuly 2026 Q4.

I still seem to need Synthmaster 2 on my system just so I can access NKS versions of the addon libraries - is that still planned? Also on my system the locations of things like NKS files and presets seems to have changed from Synthmaster 2 even though the Synthmaster 3 installer still creates these folders - for example /Users/username/Documents/SynthMaster3/Presets is empty for me whereas in Synthmaster 2 it is full of the expansions - it's all a bit confusing and I really would like to not need Synthmaster 2 any more

We don't store any SynthMaster 2 expansions under /users/username/documents/synthmaster/presets folder. You have the latest SynthMaster 2 version, right? SynthMaster 2 stores expansions and NKS content under: /users/shared/synthmaster, and similarly SynthMaster One stores expansions and NKS content under: /users/shared/synthmasteroneaMUSEd wrote: Mon Mar 30, 2026 8:54 am for example /Users/username/Documents/SynthMaster3/Presets is empty for me whereas in Synthmaster 2 it is full of the expansions - it's all a bit confusing and I really would like to not need Synthmaster 2 any more

Ok but still confused - looking in the Shared folders it seems under 'Synthmaster' (presumably 2) most of the expansions are in the presets folder - but under Synthmaster 3/presets - there are a further 8 expansions listed (in 2 file formats, .smar and .smpb) - like I said I really want everything to be stored with Synthmaster 3 so I can delete the now defunct Synthmaster 2kv331 wrote: Mon Mar 30, 2026 9:15 amWe don't store any SynthMaster 2 expansions under /users/username/documents/synthmaster/presets folder.
