maybe this has already discussed... i tried to open some schematics built with an earlier beta and now i can not open past the gui interface in synthmaker. it's hard to say, but these were probsbly made in january, so maybe version L or something...

hmmm, I'm assuming you've bought a licence since? Can you post the OSM please?

darthstephen ·

yes, i had the license when i made the original schematic, so it was made with the early adoption software. how do i post the schematic???

If you're just looking to post a file then look at http://www.yousendit.com/ or http://www.sendspace.com/ or http://www.megaspace.com/.

Between them you're bound to find one that works for you and one that's free.

No problem here....

...do you have SM in developer mode?

darthstephen ·

hmmm

after i read your post, i unchecked/checked developer mode and then was able to open it... now i'm just embarrassed, because tht's a cheesy synth:)

oddson ·

So go back and delete the link and I'll never tell a soul. 😇

Besides, I sat and played some sounds out of it for about five minutes and was actually impressed at the organ sound given it's a simple design...

I wouldn't be too embarressed, you clearly made it quite far without the developer mode. That's totally to your credit.

I agree and i hope it stays that way 😀

The organs are good indeed!

BTW, unless you want to rename the distro but still keep the origional file name, you don't need ZIP the OSM; SM does the automaticly (Options/Application.../Auto File Compresion). On that note, if you want to send/archive several OSMs, I recommend using 7zip or WinRAR; they're great at compressing multiple similar ZIPs.

Definitely. I'm still so far behind most of the people on this forum but I've never been afraid to ask a question because they're all so willing to help.

I think that this program being so close to release has really worked out well for us newcomers, there's a whole load of people who are almost as knowledgeable as the developers but who've also had similar problems to the noobs and who're therefore very understanding. Also the developers are still knocking about for extra help. It rarely gets better than that.

Personally, a few days ago SynthMaker completely froze up and I had to e-mail Malc and not only did he sort out that issue but he made himself available for a few follow up questions. Service like that doesn't just help in that situation but really gives you an attachment to SynthMaker long term.

Sweet. 😀

    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.
