Hi,

I downloaded Synthmaker 2 Free from your site. On launch, standalone program first displays a splach screen, then a loading bar, and when the bar is about 1/8 full the window disappears. In Task Manager, the process "SynthMaker.exe" continues running but uses zero CPU. If I try to open "vst.dll" in FL Studio as a plugin, it says "Error: Nothing to do."

Image-Line has announced that the 10.0.9 update includes Synthmaker 2. However, the details are vague at best. The announcement doesn't specify which edition(s) include it (I have Fruity edition), nor which edition of Synthmaker (Free/Enterprize/Pro) is included.

(Windows 7 SP1, idk whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit.)

If I were you, I would e-mail the developers directly ([email removed]). I'm sure there are plenty of people here on the forum that would be happy to help you try to figure out what is happening, but the company really needs to know the kind of problems that potential customers are having with the demo (you're not the first one that couldn't get it running). I have never dealt with support myself, but I hear they are quite pleasant.

I have the same problem. The free version of Synthmaker doesn't run.

The FL version works fine.

actually, they DO specify which versions include it. you need producer edition or higher BTW.

proof they specify (under the producer edition tab) http://flstudio.image-line.com/documents/editions.html

So it's easy, just find the little windows in your deskopt and expand it ! there is the apparence of this windows:

    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.
