Very very nice! Thank you! works like a charm. Nice design. Can't wait until you go do this magic on other oldies and new ones.

Add a " new bank builder" with dragging and dropping the presets and like I said capable of more plugins would make this a totally payable plugin.

The installation of the net framework stops at about 5 procent and doesnt move. Tried both x86 and x64.

Seems this is a long standing Microsoft/Windows/.net framework problem (see here). Couple of ideas:

This tool is amazing and much appreciated. A long time ago I downloaded more presets for this legendary synth than I could listen to in a lifetime. This makes exploring them fun and productive.

Access to the path 'C:\Users\Pedro\AppData\Roaming\Daichi\Synth1\Synth1.ini' is denied.

I am having this error. Any ideas on how to fix it??

First we need to establish if Synth1 Librarian is the problem, or if there's a bigger issue. Try this:

1) Load up Synth1 VST in your DAW (not via the Librarian)
2) Click opt, and change the ExtBank folder to a temporary location (e.g. C:\)
3) Click OK
4) Close down your DAW completely, so that Synth1 VST is unloaded from memory
5) Now restart your DAW, and reload Synth1 VST
6) Click opt, and check the the ExtBank folder.

If the value isn't C:\, you've got some kind of Windows issue. Does your Windows user name contain accented characters? If so, that could cause problems.

Also, check the file properties for Synth1.ini, and ensure that read-only isn't checked.

With the advent of the Librarian, I use synth1 more often... especially with drone-e and hypercyclic.

If anyone experienced problems getting Synth1 Librarian to work with their DAW/host (e.g. Cantabile), I've just released a version that hopefully fixes the issue.

Great tool!!.

Could you please take a look at high PPI friendliness?
It seems like it reports wrong windows size to a host.
I'm using 4K monitor, with ppi scaling set to 175%. When the plugin I run the plugin in Reaper in a native mode (without bridging), everything looks properly (fonts are scaled and sharp) but rendered window is horizontally too small. see screenshot

I've also tried to run the plugin in bridged mode. This time the entire window is displayed, but fonts suffer from the issue of non-high-ppi-ready-application, which renders by blurred fonts (those are rendered to bitmaps and upscaled by operating system. See screenshot

This issue might be however related to Reaper bridging implementation.

Link to both screenshots on one page.

Please note I intentionally left host window a bit bigger to show borders of plugin UI itself.

With regards.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll see what I can do (without having to re-write the UI;)).

If you have accents or umlauts in your WIndows user name, I've posted a workaround to get Synth1 Librarian working with Synth1:

How to load the librarian in synth1?

The librarian doesn't work like that. You install it as a plugin, and then configure it to point to your existing Synth1 VST. You should find all the instructions to install and configure it on my website.

Just released a couple of fixes so that your DAW/host doesn't have to be run as Administrator.

Hey great job Mr Neutrino! I love Synth1, but patch management is awful and I've tended to drop it out of use - I've needed this app for a long time but didn't realise it existed. Have installed on my Win/10 64-bit machine and using Cantabile, running several instances in parallel without dramas. It is ridiculously easy now to find patches quickly, and "favourite" them for later; with multiple instances it's so cool now to find the right blend of sounds when I've got two or more keyboards running and in the middle of some creative activity, something that would normally frustrate me trying to scroll through the thousands of patches in all those ZIP files. Have made a small donation - please have a pint on me :).

I've just released an update, and you can find more about it here: https://neutrinosky.com/2020/08/31/synth1-librarian-2020-831-now-available-bug-fix-release/

Hope you're all keeping safe and sane, and had a chance to make lots of music during lock-down! Take care everyone.

Hi Neutrino Sky, .

I have the problem, that Synth1 Librarian is not loading all zipped libraries I have in the zipbank-folder. I had a couple of libraries in unzipped format in my Synth1-folder, prior to installing Synth1 Librarian, so i zipped them myself and put them to the zip-bank folder. For that I used 7zip and specifically toke care to choose .zip format and only pack one folder with maximum 128 .sy1-files in each zip-archive. What am I missing?

If you need them, I could provide screenshots via DM. I tried the most recent build (just downloaded today), both in Reaper and Cakewalk, Win 10 64-bit.

Is it possible, that it's actually eliminating duplicate libraries?
