hi everyone...i would first like to say that as a music producer i enjoy playing around with various synths & production equipment....i also was curious to the creation of my own synths & effects (VSTs)...& i ofcourse at the time SynthEdit being the only program of this kind that i could find...i tried it...& although i liked the idea behind it...it was comatose boring in appearance & lacked an overall completion to its programming.....now when i heard about synthmaker i was interested...but then when i seen it i was excited....so i download the latest beta & when i run the program (after install) it opens find but then att he last second brings up a windows error window explaining only that the program caused a problem & needs to close....i run a window xp on a Pentium 2 (lol yea) 400Mhz with 320MB of RAM.....although it sounds meager i run my system witout a pagefile & have acceptional performance for my system when using intensive memory programs such as photoshop or flash mx 2004....i know its not much information on the error but i had no way of recording or copying the error information....so i hope that your next release will be able to run on my system...as i cant wait to start creating synths.........PS.....if you are interested i would happy to enlist my services in graphics for your synthmaker program...as we could make it an impressive visual site as well.......thank you & you have my e-mail so get ahold of me if you are interested....i just would like to assist in this program's development ....thank you

Hi The Zodiac and welcome

At the moment SynthMaker requires a processor with SSE instructions which only started with the Pentium III. SSE instructions allow 4 calculations to be performed simultaneously which is a big advantage for sound processing. I think the error you get is related to your processor not supporting SSE instructions. Is there any chance you'll get acess to a more recent CPU like Pentium III?

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    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.
