Hi! I've just downloaded and installed SynthMaker. Very nice program indeed! I'm using a MIDI keyboard connected to an M-Audio Quattro and 1GHz PIII laptop. I'm trying the program for the very 1st time, and so far I've managed to make it play through DirectSound only. I don't know exactly how to make the sound output go through the Quattro ASIO drivers (or even if it will work with them). CubaseSX and Chainer work well with the Quattro ASIO drivers -- anyone knows if SynthMaker will and if so what should I do to make it work? Thanks in advance for any help and thanks to the author for what looks like a very promising software -- I'm looking forward to build some nice synths with it! 🙂 SD

I feel your problems about getting started are definately not Synthmaker related, so its kind of a bad situation to ask here.

Anyways, ASIO is kinda bumpy atm, so stick to DirectSound until ASIO works for your device...

Hi SynthDreamer,

Welcome to the forum.

I don't see any reason why your Quattro ASIO drivers shouldn't work. Are you using the ASIO components? If so, do your drivers appear in the list on the component?

What kind of problems are you having skOre? I don't know of any outstanding issues other than the Indigo one. Let me know and I'll look into it.

Thanks.

Malc.

Hi Again.

Are you using the ASIO components? If so, do your drivers appear in the list on the component?

No, I wasn't using the ASIO component -- it was out of view and I overlooked that I had to replace the DirectX out with the ASIO component Out. Thanks for pointing exactly what I was missing, Malc! It may seem obvious to those who already know the prog, but as a newbie having his 1st session with SynthMaker and a long time hardware synthesist used to manuals, I just couldn't find out what was missing ... Thanks again!

    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.
