Hello again 😀

I just got all my previous issues fixed, and finally finished a decent synth. Now, onto the presets. While getting preset sounds were pretty easy, whenever I went to a blank program to work on a new one, my signal got muted. I adjusted my volumes, ADSRs, filters, nothing. I couldn't get sound out of it. When I switched back to the first preset it was all fine again. Is there something I'm missing?

Also, is there a more advanced tutorial out there (yeah, I know, I should really finish setting up the basics first)? I've looked around and the few tutorials I've found are all about how to make a simple synth, never going any further. I've seen some crazy things made with this program, and I don't want to keep bothering you guys with questions. 🙂

Hello, One way to get your preset bank set up is to save your actual working preset as a .txt file (save with preset manager) and then to load it up into the following preset slots...then make your settings for each preset...once you've got the next preset all right... save it also as a single preset... do that for each preset in your bank...then...save the whole bank with the "save all programs" feature in the preset manager....

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
