-Some presets sound different from 2.7, I think it has something to do with the phaser settings. For example "BT club bassdrum 01 (mw)" sounds drastically different in 2.8 compared to 2.7...the phaser seems to be the cause.
just fixed this one!

DocShay wrote:-I spoke too soon on the browser bug, but deleting a preset and browsing in the same area where the preset was deleted causes erratic jumpy selection that prevents selecting some presets.
will work on this one.

DocShay wrote:--The new modulation tab colors are inconsistent in the other skins besides the Default Green skin, for example in the Green skin the mod tabs match the dark grey bezel area, whereas in other skins the tabs look more like the area inside the bezel. Also, the mod tab "highlights" don't match between "layer 1" and "Layer 2" in the Default Green skin and the Blue skin mod tab area is incomplete(missing arrows, maybe left unfinished on purpose).
will work on this one.

DocShay wrote:--The distortion gui(in both FX1 and the Filter Distortion) part gets scrambled. This happens randomly when you close and open the plugin window or randomly when changing filter from VAnalog to SVF or changing between layer 1 and 2. Keep closing the synthmaster plugin gui and reopening it to reproduce...(I'm using reaper)
this is one of those issues I couldnt figure out the root cause yet.

Thanks for the great support!!!

You are welcome!

oh, by the way, the Vocoder is updated as well. I'll provide some sample presets that use the drum loops to create the modulator signal for the vocoder

The vocoder looks really great! :O

Hey guys, we have a new build with a lot of fixes and the updated vocoder GUI.

http://www.synthmaster.com:8080/downloadupdates.aspx is the link to our test server.

I am currently editing the user manual, which seriously needed a complete rewrite! Hopefuly it'll double in number of pages when I am done!

My estimate for the official release is in 10 days, once we complete the content and bug fixes.

Cheers

This is one of the craziest, most exhaustive free plugin updates I've ever seen. Mad love, Bulent. Totally crazy what you're doing with Synthmaster.

Mind you, this is the last free update

No difference, still amazing

. I'm sure v3 will be awesome and totally worth the upgrade price.

This looks great. I would upgrade now, but I'm in the middle of a song using 2 instances of synthmaster, so I don't want to risk anything, but as soon as I'm done I'm trying the new version. I'm glad you did some work on the vocooder. That is much appropriated.

Hi,
I tested the latest build of SM in Reaper 5, Mulab 6 and Mulab 7 (all 64 bit, Windows 7).
I did a clean full install.
Reaper - sometimes crashed at second or third instance of SM.
Mulab (3 instances) - after reopen, it do not able to read all instances (sometimes only 1 or 2). It displays an error message:
"Couldn't create VST instance for SynthMaster2"
If I delete the directory "SynthMasterTemp27", sometimes it helps. Maybe it could be some timeout...

Interesting, I created a project with 4 instances. closed/opened multiple times, no issues so far.

I am suspecting that Program Files is again causing an issue here. (I mean if you install the data files under Program Files)

Delete the data files folder before doing a clean install that might help.

Here's a pretty serious bug I found that prevents sound for most patches, its in the newest build...

-Selecting the patch "BT synced motion (mw+pb+at)" and playing a key causes instant clip and the sound is disabled for most patches you try to select after. Tried in Reaper and Ableton btw

I don't want to derail this thread, but it seems more active than the KV331 area of the forums. I just want to mention the sustain pedal bug that causes notes to drop out. See the thread here: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 8&t=377957

I am curious to know if this will be fixed in 2.8. I have not yet tried the 2.8 beta, so maybe it is already fixed?

Very simple test case:
1) Hold down any note.
2) Press down on Sustain Pedal while continuing to hold note.
3) Press note again.
4) Lift off from Sustain Pedal while continuing to hold the note.
5) Note releases and fades away even though the note is held down.

It's in my TODO list, I am aware of it!
