The Synthmaster 3 Thread

[kv331]

Hi everyone,

Here's the latest development update: SM3 development update: Time to add waveform & wavetable editors! I started with the waveform editor first. Hopefuly in a week's time we'll have a proper waveform editor.

There will be 2 types of waveforms in SynthMaster for oscillators & lfos:

1. freehand waveforms: You can import those from wave files & draw them freely. (you can either edit the waveform data or the spectrum data)
2. segmented waveforms: These will be formed by joining line segments / points. there will be different interpolation options for segmented waveforms: No interpolation, linear interpolation, sinc interpolation, spline interpolation, etc.

Here's a screenshot from the latest prototype:

Thanks for keeping us informed on future developments. Sounding/looking good

Almost done with the Waveform Editor! Aside from freehand waveforms, you can create waveforms by drawing line segments.

There are multiple interpolation options for the line segments:

Step Interpolation:

Linear Interpolation:

Cubic Bezier:

I should be done with the waveform editor in a couple of days. Next, I am moving on to the Wavetable Editor!

I stsrted a thread recently regarding the old Linplug Spectral, asking for other synths having the possibility to draw your own filter curves. Is this something that might be planned in SM3?

Actually yes! I guess you are referring to spectral filters. I'm going to put it in the wavetable editor definitely, but I am considering implementing it for single cycle waveforms as well (will see the results in a couple of days!)

Hi again,

Here's how filter curves will be drawn for single cycle waveforms:

Looks cool, is freehand possible as well?

For now I might limit it to line segments. I also have the idea of a "Spectral Envelope Filter" created from calculating spectral envelopes of segments of an audio file. That filter is gonna be part of the wavetable editor.

and finally, SynthMaster 3 has a proper "wavetable editor". Work still in progress, but in about 2 week's time we should be feature complete:

Thanks Richard

I hope my efforts would pay off in the end, looks like the KVR community is not much interested in SynthMaster developments anymore

Doubt it's your effort. Synthmaster is a great synth and I'm definitely jumping on version 3.
I think patience is the problem. Not so much caused by you but synth developers in general. I mean, the teasing for Avenger 2 is going on for 2 years. For RAPID the next big update was promised almost a year ago and would definitely come out in januari... The rumors of a Serum 2 are also going on for more than 2 years...

I am definitely interested!

[zvenx]

As am I.
The one thing I would wish for in this new cycle is more beta testing though, which might have been a turn off for some here, bugs took too long to be acknowledged and more importantly fixed.

Guys I'll do my best to release SM3 without any stowstopper bugs. Right now we are under heavy financial stress to release it before Christmas arrives, I hope we can make it safely...

BTW, here's the latest update on SM3: Now we can load/save wavetables in our our custom "wavetable" format so that all data related to the wavetable is retained. We can also export as 8/16/24/32 bit WAV and import wav/wavetable files via drag-n-drop!
