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

[kv331]

One question: In the video, you seemed to always have to adjust the octave of the samples.
Is that since you are using a different centre-C than other systems or what causes this?

It could be that, yes. SynthMaster recognizes C-1 as Midi Note 0. and I think Reaper does it that way as well. Whereas, other DAWs/software recognize C-2 as Midi Note 0.

Yeah, I think that one goes back a long way - some old synth companies doing it differently just for the heck of it.

Thanks,

It's a difference between Gregorian and General MIDI standard :

are there more plugins with gregorian midi instead of normal midi?

Midi is clear, as its Midi note numbers. The A of 440 Hz is Midi note 69.
Midi note 60 often called the middle C is C3 for me and for some its C4… Both mean those 261,x Hz…
All plugins use just Midi, only the label might be different…

Our products interpret C4 as Midi Note 60 If there is a feature request, I can add a global setting under Audio Engine to change that behavior between C4 or C3, in a later update.

That would be great, I'm used to the setup where Note 60 = C3 Could you also fix "Snap Arp to DAW beat" please ("snap sequencer" works, "snap arp" doesn't)

My Midi keyboard has octave transpose buttons.
My first plugin on a synth track is a midi octave transpose plugin.
So often synth sounds are programmed one way and I want to use them another way.
A bass sound? But I like it as a lead so I transpose it 2 -3 octaves up.
Arrangement, that part is too low but cool? Try it out an octave higher.
But I get the drift with consistency with other plugins.

There's no consistency, there are 2 standards

Interpreting Midi Note 60 as C3 or C4 is important when you are parsing file names OR when you are displaying note names. Other than those 2 scenarios, there's no issue. SynthMaster plays Midi Note 60 as 261 Hz, regardless of its displayed octave.

I just installed the latest version from the site and Cakewalk is freezing up before it can show the UI. I was loading up the VST3 version. Also I noticed it didn't show the VST2 version in my list of plugins even though I installed both types.

After about 10 minutes of trying it a few times, I uninstalled/reinstalled it, but it does the same thing. I emailed you the crash log files from Cakewalk to see if it helps.

Hi Rob

Could you send the me log files under:

c:\users\public\public documents\synthmaster3\logs

Thanks!

I tried the vst2 in Cakewalk and it worked fine.
But it was already registered in Reaper, where it froze for some seconds (overlaping windows I think) until registered.

Ableton 10 and stand-alone version: I seem to have the same problem. See Issue #99714

Your issue might be different. I checked the log files my brother forwarded me. They seemed OK, I didn't see any crash in those log files. Is your Windows installed on drive E ?

Can you try this:

delete E:\Users\Public\Public Documents\SynthMaster 3 folder

and try again?

FYI: In Rob's case, I checked the sample search paths he sent me (SynthMasterSampleFolders.txt file). D:\ and E:\ drives were added to search paths. I don't recommend adding drives at the root level. I will make sure this is not allowed.

[Examigan]

Yep, that fixed it Bulent, thanks again!
