Hello there people,

First of all i feel really lucky that i could find this great software and page of it.Saw so many creative guys full with ideas here like c-hackl, angular momentum etc.To be honest i am just a beginner with ''SynthMaker''.I am just a music producer.Beforei met with Synthmaker i just knew how to play with stuff, after SM i hope i will be able to make my stuff and play with them.:] Worked 3 days with synthmaker while workin' was totaly addicted to this forum and to learn stuff i think i have freeloaded a lot of example .osm files and they really helped.

To make this synth i have used; nippybaynes404's Sytrus OSC, sambean,shifrin,malc,exonerate,infuzion,stw's Multi Envelope unknownStep Sequencer (couldnt find the guy forum page again) :| (Sorry if i forgot someone)

This vsti includueds; 2xOSC (osc filters osc asdrs). 2xStep Sequencer. Hard phase modulating ability (to be able to make percussive + fxsy sounds) 1 x Main Filter. Routing pannel (LFO 1 LFO 2 Mod. Env.) Phaser(enable on/off ability on)OSC1 OSC 2, OSC Cross Delays, Main Reverb,Main Multi Filter. 2x distortion for OSC 1, 2x distortion for OSC 2.

Have problems with; Freakin' Preset Manager (i just counldn't find how to deal with it) Main reverb sometimes it makes synth crash, Clicky sounds I hear some clicks when i use filter cut at '' 0 '' with main env. on it also while phase modulating and also i hear it at start of all wave shapes. OSC's seem empty at start they work after i just click on any OSC sliders.

As you can see this is not my synth it's this forums synth so you can edit change and do anything with it I would really apperciate it if you guys can fix problems listed up here and send me back the osm file or teach me how to fix cause i really want to play with this synth :]

All sounds form Zoid sample here (just a lil demo song i made with only zoid):http://www.sendspace.com/file/k08h6a And here is the .OSM file :http://www.sendspace.com/file/e9xmrc (Click on OSC sliders to make synth to load the wave shape at start.)

Cheers. D.

- preset manager: just make sure you give all parameters unique names, you can check the current parameter names when you save a preset to txt and open in notepad. heres a part of your parameters which have the same name. Slider Float 0.501578 Slider Float 0.341483 Slider Float 1.000000 Slider Float 0.802445 the computer just does not know which slider has what value and so the preset system does not work.

- do not let the filter cutoff go to 0, use a max(cutoff,0.0001) or another low value - some filters hang up on extreme values. - for the oscs to work after load, trigger the float array with the "after load" primitive. this sends out a trigger after the plugin is loaded, which should be the same as when you move a control(every control change in green also works as a trigger) - dont make connections from blue to white streams, this is probably the cause for crashes and some clicking. for your synth the whole left part should be white, only delay and reverb in blue.

as a short explanation; white streams contain 4 channels for 4 polyphony, and they only get spawned on midi note, virtually they dont exist when no midi note is played. thats why the cpu amount nearly doubles as soon as you get over 4 polyphony, because another copy of the whole white streams get spawned for the voices 4-8. every note got its own channel and is individually processed. the blue streams however are processed all the time and only contain 1 channel of information each. (thats why there is the 4 pack module - you then have the equivalent of one 4poly stream). when you combine a stream from white to blue, all 4 channels get added together to one blue channel.

    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.
