Today I reinstalled the system (Windows 7) and did the following:

1. Installed Synthmaker 2. Launched it 3. Default schematic opens. It happens also when I tried to load other saved schematic.

When loading bar is around 1/4, Synthmaker dissapears. However, task manager says it is still running - just never shows up. Also, Task bar / running application list doesn't show it.

Please help!

Do you have a little bit earlier copy of the project to check it?

How large was the project? (filesize, primitives statistic, wireless/connections statistics - this is my concern regarding SM stability)

Is your project opening on another computer?

Knowing these answers you should get a cue whether to contact technical support with your issue or not, and - what to tell them.

1. I mena EVERY project, including demo synth 2. Just yesterday it worked. It stopped after new install.

You should contact Outsim. They'll walk you through it. I'm betting your registry entries weren't cleared/updated when you reinstalled. That has been known to cause problems with others. IIRC, it usually has something to do with a window size of zero upon initialization. You can go in yourself (HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Outsim->SynthMaker) using regedit and mess around if you feel daring, but I'd consult Outsim before doing anything. I hear they're very nice.

Well, that's it. Very simple fix.

Thanks for tip.

Oh, I thought you had clean install. Good to hear that fixed the problem.

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

    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.
