Hey, one of my modules in uni is about creating a synth using synthmaker and i've been enjoying it so much I actually decided to get synthmaker on my mac using vmware fusion and windows 7.

The problem I am having though is that nothing happens when I try to use my keyboard to play notes, whereas in uni I am able to do so. I've downloaded asio4all and installed it, restarted SM a few times and even rebooted windows but I still am unable to get this feature working.

Was just wondering whether I am missing anything obvious or if it was due to running it using a virtual machine. Much thanks for any answer! 🙂

did you click on the "pc keyboard" as the midi input in the midi module?

After an a few hours of trying to work it out i've succeeded, mods feel free to delete this thread 😊 EDIT: It's a bit glitchy though, like when I release a note it glitches and distorts a bit. It wasn't doing this in class, maybe it's the virtual machine?

    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.
