Bulent, könnt ihr einige SM3-Presets in der nächsten Version zur Verfügung stellen, die die verbesserten Möglichkeiten gegenüber SM1 und SM2 zeigen? Bin kein Sounddesigner, der "Monsterpresets" erstellen kann und würde gerne mal hören, was technisch und klanglich mit SM möglich ist.

Bulent, can you provide some SM3 presets in the next version that show the improved capabilities over SM1 and SM2? I'm not a sound designer who can create "monster presets" and would like to hear what is technically and sonically possible with SM.

Hi guys, just released a new update for SynthMaster 3 (rev 14782). Please check for updates. For MacOS users, I brought back sending crash reports to our server, please send them when you encounter them, thank you

Here's the change log:

1. NEW: Added global setting to save all waveforms, wavetables and sfz definition in presets
2. NEW: Preset browser is now filtering banks, attributes, styles and categories by product (All Products, SynthMaster One, SynthMaster 2 or SynthMaster 3)
3. NEW: SynthMaster 3 now reads favourite presets list from SynthMaster One and SynthMaster 2
4. NEW: Users can now send crash reports on MacOS
5. FIX: Brickwall limiter global setting is not saved
6. FIX: Preset description is not loaded when loading SynthMaster One or SynthMaster 2 presets
7. FIX: Sfz files now store default path as relative nstead of absolute
8. FIX: Default preset product filter is set to "All" instead of "SynthMaster 3"

After this update, It's time to work on the factory sample library of SynthMaster 3. We have a LOT of content, Gerçek Dorman and Efe Aysal edited them, and now I will do the final editing/sorting/organizing.

I will have some questions along the way, here's the first one: We have acoustic/electric/classical guitar samples sampled string by string (yes we did it that way to have more flexibility). Now the big question is:

Aside from providing samples per string, how should we combine the multi-string samples and create single multi-sample out of those 6 strings?

Cheers

Bulent

Hallo Bulent,
in der neuen Version 14782 schreibst du, das SFZ gesichert werden können und einen eigenen Pfad haben. Daher die Frage: Wie kann ich ein SFZ-File laden? Habe nichts gefunden.

Hello Bulent,
In the new version 14782 you write that SFZ can be saved and have its own path. Now the question: How can I load an SFZ file? Haven't found anything.

Is it possible to switch off the sound preview?

Hold keyboard function is not functional for presets with ARP/SEQ (macOS Sonoma ARM AU build 14782).

Thank you, that's a big one fore me. I don't like auto preview of sounds.

Perfect, as usual:)

Just had a chance to start playing with SM3. I wanted to compare how the presets sounded in SM3 compared to SM2 so I loaded up a copy of SM2 and SM3. Not sure if I am doing something wrong but all the SM3 presets were about a semitone higher than SM2. The sequences were not in sync either. Still a ways to go I guess but it was fun to play with.

I can not reproduce neither of the issues. Did you change the global A4 tuning ?

Regarding the sequences not in sync -> is there a particular preset that does that?

Thanks

I was using Element to host the instances. I thought it might be the A4 tunings as well and so checked the settings. They were both at 440. I was able to bring them close by changing SM2 to 460 and SM3 to 420 but they were still both off. I am now wondering if the sample rate is a factor. I am away from my computer right now but I just tried it via remote desktop with a sample rate of 44100 and now they are playing identically. I am almost certain, my sample rate when I was at home was 48000. I cannot change the sample rate on my remote desktop session so I can't confirm if that is the issue. I will check later today when I get back home.

Regarding the sequences, every sequence I tried was off. The one I am currently testing is BA+Seq Autobahn1 from the Dawn of Electronic Music Volume 1.

Are you sure you are running the latest version (rev 14805) ?

I tested with 44.1k / 48k sampling rate, SM2 and SM3 presets side by side, and can not reproduce the issues. They sound the same on my machine.
