I have Synthmaster 2 and it keeps surprising me in positive ways. For example, select the additive osc, load a drum sample per partial, use the sequencer in drum mode and - yep a complete sample-based drum machine. Combine it with another layer and you can have those VPS Avenger backing track vibes, if that's your type of thing.

Thanks for this. I’ve been using synthmaster for over a year and I am just amazed at the depth of functionality that this provides. It has an incredible feature set and I’m not sure there is anything else that comes close in terms of pure capability. But I am frustrated by the outdated documentation and lack of comprehensive up to date tutorial videos. When you have something as awesomely powerful as synthmaster then you really have to supply some support to explain how everything works and where all the features reside because it’s not all intuitive. If it had that then I think it would deservedly be the #1 soft synth available today because in terms of features and sound then it really has it all.

In addition to having it solve both the "analysis paralysis" and "blank canvas" issues, it's also an opportunity to revisit various plugins that I haven't had a chance to use, either in a while or not at all. And I guess I have another thing to add to the wishlist =D

I just purchased the Synthmaster 3 upgrade (a whole, whopping $29) and that has given me access to an alpha version complete with a temporary skin. Yes, I will be beta testing for free but, I don't mind. SM3 is looking like an amazing upgrade. It is now a fully modular system complete with a module/node graph where you can connect pretty much anything to anything. It's not a true modular synth in that you are not directly routing CVs and audio via wires but, you can rout audio signals to pretty much any other audio input in whatever order you want including many into one and one into many. It'll be really interesting to see how it develops from here until final release.

I'm a plugin hoarder. I love playing with new things with buttons and dials. Synthmaster was my first paid synth. Over the years, my collection of non-free synths has increased massively, but I love going back to good old Synthmaster. It's s bit buggy, it acts weird, but I can always manage to make any sound in it. The greatest thing about it is how it sounds. Sometimes it doesn't sound quite right, but this also tends to translate into sounding way more alive. Call it analog (I wouldn't know), call it character, but I love it. If I had to chose just one synth in my collection, I'd choose this one.

love the features, love the sound, hate the interface. No use of color to help identify who's modulating what. This is the perfect synth to implement "saturn rings".

I bought Synthmaster One this year, but I hardly use it. This is because of some illogical (imo) flaws in the user interface, which make you lose too much time. Figuring out things soundwise can be frustrating but serve a purpose. Figuring out the (il)logic of interfaces is a waste of time. I'm not unsympathetic towards Synthmaster One at all , but I end up picking other plugins that are more intuitive.
@JanSandahl2 жыл бұрын
I do point this out to them from time to time. Usability is king! I have and use them both, but hiding randomization in menus, instead of offering it up front by one-click remains a usability sin! (I hope you read this - again - KV331). On the plus side, I always highlight its CPU-friendliness. It's not AS important to me now as it was a couple of years ago, but if you are like me and like layering thing, it is still a big thing, because some synths bogs the system after just a few instances.
@VenusTheory2 жыл бұрын
Hopefully with the release of SM3 they'll be able to implement all these ideas in a much cleaner UI/UX. I think maybe part of the problem is that these plugins are getting a bit old and with so many updates there is just an inevitable degree of 'feature creep' that wasn't really possible to work into the existing UI without significant changes, and if you significantly change an older plugin people are used to they're bound to start complaining. Guess we just have to wait and see!

We already have Surge and now Vital: I do not know... is there point for existence for synths like this? If it is paid product I think it should give something more than free product.

I know what Pigments have over Vital (but honestly if i did not have Pigments before Vital came out - i am not sure would i buy Pigments). Synthmaster vs Vital - for money I only get skeuomorphic interface, which i personally do not find neither clear nor attractive.
