Hello,
I tried to load the recent Synthmaster 2.5-Demoversion within Studio One Professional V2.0.7.
After S1 loading it the first time there was a promt, that Synthmaster's Factory-Waveforms were loaded.
Now I wanted to load it into a track, but another prompt opened, saying the following:

"The hardware buffer size of the current audio device (2bytes) or the buffer size parameter in SynthMaster is not compatible with SynthMaster.
Please change the hardware buffer size to a value that is a multiple of 16 samples or set the buffer size parameter in the current preset to "Medium".

Synthmaster doesn't make any sound, no matter which buffersize I set in my Scarelett-Control-Panel or if I try to change the Buffer- and Quality-Settings of Synthmaster.
In the lowest buffer-values of my Scarlett I get a permanent distorted sound once hitting a key on my keyboard.
Stepping through the presets or reloading the plugin after restarting the sequencer also doesn't bring a solution.

This is the first time ever on my system that a Software-Synthesizer cannot make sounds because of the used buffer-size. Does this mean that I cannot use it on my system, as my Scarlett-2i2- seems to be very limited in low-latency-buffer-sizes with a multiple factor of 16 samples? It seems that I cannot set multiple factors of 16 in my Scarlett-control-panel... only MS-values that result in other sample-block-sizes.

Can you maybe help me, please? Synthmaster seems to be a very interesting and powerful tool.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards

Hi there,

Yes SynthMaster is sensitive about this. Try using 48000 as your sampling rate, that should fix the problem!

Hello kv331,
thank you for your answer! :)

I already could also fix my problem by turning off a small hook within my S1 audio-properties. Doing so, the internal sample rate now is a multiple value of 16 and I can even work with other sampling-rates.
I never was aware of this, but now I also got to know my S1 a bit better ;)

Now the demo works! :) I'm very curious about this plugin, as it seems to be very powerful.
