In an EXE you can choose if you whant a loadingscreen or not. My Idea: Choose your own Image for loading screen.

Is it possible to make that loadingscreen in a VSTi? Hyper Canvas uses one with a progressbar.

+remove the SM icon (no SM branding anywhere) for the "pro" version of SM.

BTW chackl, you can make your own "loading popup" if you use the OnLoad trigger with a Timer & Switched View.

No i mean the "Loadingscreen" of a Standalone. It's a Bitmap. I tryed to hack it with the Res.Hacker but then i couldn't lunch it anymore.

Yes, I agree those of us with a "pro" licence for SM should be able to disable all SM branding if we wish.

Though as I mentioned before, SM can make a temporary popup, but that would be after load... so large .EXE runs would be left out... so yes, a user-replaceable graphic would be swell. 😀

why it's not done?????

It would be funny to have a logo of your Company on Loadingscreen.

Yes it is kind of a bummer. You put hours and hours (and days & weeks & months) into programming, arranging, deleting, re-arranging, starting from scratch, re-programming, designing GUI & graphics, etc to get your own synth... and after all that you get sn 'SM' logo in the corner, which (I suspect) would put some users off buying your software.

I can see it from the devs point of view though. They want as many people to know about their software as possible, so in effect you are marketing for them by selling/distributing your synths... don't know if I'm particularly happy about that but hey, that's life.

Almost all the major improvements that SM had the last year or so came from this very forum, like the larger WaveTable. If you notice, you can change the icon for the .EXE: another request completed.

I thought about making another poll asking peoples' improvement priorities...

    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.
