SynthMaker 1.0 (189)

Your sounds have their own home: SynthMaker keeps your sounds and songs in its own folder, so it no longer asks to see your Documents. Videos you export go to Movies › SynthMaker.

A grid of pads in one go: add a grid of pads to a face, say 4 × 4, and all sixteen are drawn at once, numbered. In the Patch the whole grid is one module, and its presses travel together on one thicker green wire, each named after its pad.

One Chord module for many chords: give each pad its own chord in a list, in the song's key. Unplug the wire and the list waits for you; plug it back and it plays again.

Circuits on the Mac: the circuit sounds play here too: diode pedals, op-amp filters, transistor fuzzes. Open one to edit its parts list, or see it drawn as a schematic; click a part to find its line. Start from circuit is in the module browser, and a knob that a wire turns shows where the wire has it now.

Small things: Escape leaves Play full screen. Note, Chord, Track and Transport are explained in the module browser.
