In the vector OSC there seems to be an issue with the Y-axis control. It doesn't seem to do anything in the '2D' setting. '1D' works as expected. (version 14591 of SM3, vst2, vst3)

Can not reproduce. Y Axis knob works as expected in 1D/2D modes

Hmm, tried a clean install but in both vst versions i can always hear WAVE1 (in 2D mode), except when the X and Y axis are fully open (in that case I only hear WAVE2).

*EDIT: checked my SM2.9 install and here it is working as intended.

Just installed the most recent build: rev14591, and after about 10 minutes all instances of SM3 (not playing any note), all at once start generating some loud noise causing Reaper to auto-mute their tracks. I tried to restart Reaper a few times but the issue returned after a similar time.
Returning to rev14527

Edit:
Now with the previous version, All instances of SM3 generate that muting noise a few seconds after loading the project into Reaper. All SM3 instances synchronously. The computer restart is not helping.

Edit2: I managed to put offline the last instance of SM3 I was working with. Seems it prevents all instances from causing the noise. Re-enabling this instance makes the issue return. It seems that the root cause was a reverb in the mentioned instance of SM3.

My bad. Wave 1 volume was being calculated incorrectly in 2D mode. Just fixed it. will be in the next build (hopefuly today)

Awesome

The mod wheel is working in Bitwig now. It crashed the first time I tried to assign it but it seems to be good now.

How did you try to assign it ? You mean midi learn ?

Will the physical modeling in Synthmaster 3 extend beyond simply having comb filters to actually incorporating physics-based models of physical instruments or resonating materials or modal synthesis resonators?

Not yet. but hopefuly after releasing v3.0 I will concentrate more time on physical modeling and nonlinear beavior of analog filters.

Hello.
2. Comparing to SM2, Some knobs in SM3 have been moved to dedicated sub-tabs. Ie some parameters of LFO or drift/keytrack in oscillators. It results in more clicks. Not sure about motivation because it seems there might be enough space for those knobs to be shown all together. Hope it's only a matter of theming.

SM2 oscillators/modulators have Drift/Keytrack tabs as well. The UI for oscillators/modulators did not change.

See the screenshot below. Not sure if it's a custom theme or one of the factory ones. I usually stay on default themes so I would say the latter. This is Tranquil TX. But there are others like "Dark" and "White" with the same approach.
Also, see how many envelope controls are accessible on one page.

The opposite side to ergonomy is how the default theme of SM3 limits access to all parameters of an additive oscillator.


and the same in SM2


Other issues I found:
1. Panic doesn't work
2. Not sure why envelopes have a Lag set by default to a non-zero value (after init preset). Maybe there is some motivation behind that. I would say mostly it's not needed.

with regards

BTW is there a better place to report issues than this forum?

The wheel itself was already working with the last update, it was when I dragged the arrows to the filter cutoff that it crashed.

Hi everyone, glad to announce the latest update for SynthMaster 3: Rev 14630 This update has critical bug fixes and new features. Please check for updates inside SM3 to download the update.

new sequencer.jpg

Here's the change log:

Rev 14628:
1. NEW: Number of max notes per sequencer step is increased to 6
2. NEW: Added MIDI Import for Sequencer
3. NEW: Added step recording for Sequencer
4. NEW: Added horizontal and vertical zoom for Sequencer view
5. NEW: Added individual semitone option for each osc in the Vector Osc
6. NEW: Added popup menu that is shown to add new modules when user clicks on an empty area on the routing view
7. NEW: Added DX7 style feedback for modulators
8. FIX: Vanalog filter Dual mode doesn't work correctly
9. FIX: When a host parameter is added, it's name is not updated in DAW's parameters list
10.FIX: Wave 1 volume is not calculated correctly when the Vector Osc is in 2D mode
11.FIX: Preset metadata is not loaded for SynthMaster One presets
12.FIX: When user clicks on a multiline text such as preset description, SynthMaster 3 is frozen and a restart of the DAW would be required
13.FIX: When a module is renamed, its name still displays the old value in the tooltip information
14.FIX: User interface initialization time is too long
15.FIX: Modulator volumes and feedback levels for DX7 template presets should be zero
16.FIX: Hold button is not working for the builtin QWERT keyboard
17.FIX: SynthMaster 3 might freeze when parsing wave files

Rev 14591:
1. NEW: Added Dynamic host parameters implementation, so that each preset has 64 customizable host parameters. The first 16 parameters are fixed (macro knobs and xy pads), the remaining 48 can use user assigned, and names could be renamed.
2. FIX: FLStudio 21.2.2 build 3914 crashes when trying to load SynthMaster3 as VST3
3. FIX: FLStudio 21.2.2 build 3914 crashes when trying to remove SynthMaster3 as VST2
4. FIX: VST3 version of previous build produces a Runtime Error when added and then crashes Reaper. VST2 starts up fine. In Cakewalk, VST3 seems to work fine.
5. FIX: MPE doesn't work for the VST3 version
6. FIX: Reverse mousewheel button is not working
7. FIX: Treeview control doesn't work correctly
8. FIX: SynthMaster 3 might crash when switching between presets
9. FIX: MIDI CC messages don't work with the VST3 version when it is run inside Bigwig

Is there a known issue with importing SM2 presets to SM3?
I have a preset that crashes SM3.

[Caine123]

im really looking forward! im wondering how it will be compared to Rapid and/or Avenger etc.

already got the everything bundle!

I don't think full SM2 preset import has been implemented yet but it might work if they're single layer? (like an SM1 preset).
