I've got an observation about the graphic envelopes, the visual representation doesn't always stay proportionate to the actual time of it. Like in the initial patch if you decrease the release time to zero then the attack segment looks longer even with a setting of zero, so it appears that it's got a lengthy attack. This could get kind of clunky, especially if you're looking at someone else's patch.

I just realized I had another program running that seemed to be doing it the CPU meter is way more tame now that I closed that.

Glad to hear that about the registry, I'll have to try it out with tuna running from my jump drive, I might be bouncing around alot soon so that will come in really handy.

Yes, for morphing the initial and final waveforms have the same number of points (line segments), because the intermediate waveforms for morph are calculated by changing the length & slope of each segments:

In the above picture, you have 2 line segments for instance.The length of the first one is increasing, and the length of the other one is decreasing. Also, the slopes are changing from linear to exponential.

By the way, I think I am gonna make intermediate waveforms invisible on the waveforms list.

The x axis is scaled according to the sum of attack+decay+release times. If it's gonna make more sense not to do it that way, I can change that?

Presets of SynthMaster 1 don't work in version 2.

It's not possible to load both versions together at the same time. There may only be ONE SynthMaster.dll loaded at the same time.
Renaming gives errors.

Can you change the file names for version 2 that version 1 can be loaded like before? I can't load old projects with version 1 if version 2 is active!

Got the same problem a few pages back and no solution yet...

Bulent, how did you fix it? What was the problem? Just curious.

Here's an illustration of the problem that this leads to:

If you want my opinion I don't think the envelope display should scale at all, rather just have the points move inside a fixed range... kind of like a more advanced and bigger version of the envelope display in simsynth live or wasp. Or if you want to scale it maybe the scale could be controlled manually by a control or mouse wheel with a slider bar to scroll the window sort of like rhino or the graphic envelope in synthmaker (which is very sexy by the way).

4 lines of code added :

this->rect.top = 0;
this->rect.left = 0;
this->rect.right = getWidth();
this->rect.bottom = getHeight();

Basicly, the rect member variable was not initialized, and that caused trouble with some hosts!

Guys, sorry about this one. I'm gonna fix the issue by renaming the version 2.0 plugin to SynthMaster2.dll. The name of the dll is important as we get a handle to the DLL by using the same. Therefore, I have to change v2.0's name to something different!

Thank you for your patience

Wait for 1.9.9.6!

How's everyone else doing it?
That's odd. Winzip/Winrar overwrites the existing files. I am not sending you my SynthMasterLicenceKey.txt file, so it shouldt be overwritten.

Make sure SynthMasterLicenceKey.txt file is not trashed when you delete your files.

Hummm....I'm still getting an error when I try to unzip to the SM folder with the "Overwrite existing files" option checked in Winzip. I get this:

Error: unable to create output file "C:\Program files\Synthmaster\Config\

You could try it with the free 7-zip found here http://www.7-zip.org/
I use it for all types of archives.

Looks like that folder is somehow readonly on your system?

Config, Logs, Presets and Partial Presets folders should be writeable on your system, as SynthMaster writes to those folders.

I think I should move the folders that should be writeable under: \Documents And Settings\All Users\KV331 Audio\SynthMaster, and SynthMaster by default writes there user settings, presets, etc.

With the last build everything unzipped to one complete folder with everything in it...with this build it unzipped all the contents seperately....so I don't know if it's SM or WinZip doing that?? So I trashed the previous folder...made a new one...dragged the license key file to the new one....and *Bingo* I didn't have to put the codes in again! So that's better.

Just sent a bug report. In standalone I can't turn a knob in the filter or anywhere else while a sound is playing and sometimes get a "Ding" sound at the tail end. What's with that? This is on my AMD Phenon machine which is 64-bit running Vista SP1...but it was also happenning on the Windows machine too.
