Hi, here are results of using SynthMaker this weekend 🙂

VSTi export:

GUI is not shown correctly: http://3rr0r.wz.cz/SM_GUI_bug.jpg and midi in link is shown. No change while i tryed to delete "MIDI in" and "DS Out" modules (midi in link is created automatically).

Latency & ASIO:

With low latency values (like 1-2ms) it generates clicks (cpu usage = 8-15%). With higher latency (like 5ms) output is almost clear - "sonic bulge" preset in example sync sometimes produces clicks (if i export sound into wav, sound is correct). If anyone using SM with 1-2ms latency and ASIO without probs, let me know, please.

I must say, that SM is excellent... Example synth is capable of producing nice range of sounds. I'm looking forward to final 1.0 version 🙂 Thanx SM team.

Used: Synthmaker 0.9.2 FL studio 5.01 Esi WaveTerminal 192M with ASIO 2.0 AMD 2800 XP, MB Soltek 75-FRV (VIA KT400), 1 GB RAM

Did you by any chance change the default zoom level in the interface options (under Options menu, select Interface). From your screen cap it looks like you increased the zoom from 8 to something bigger.

This is a bug that we discovered the other day. If you change the default zoom back to 8 all should be ok. This will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for the screen cap by the way, this kind of info always makes it easier to sort out a problem.

Regarding latency, the ASIO components are still work in progress. They are next on the list though so it's good to have someone testing them out. Well look into this.

Thanks

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 _).

    Then your post goes up straight away.

    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.
