Synthmaster update - Wavetables added

Yeah baby!

Got me some oskillators once, in the Carpathian mountains. Cheeky little fellows. Never seemed to be able to get rid of them. Been following me ever since. Down, boy, down.

That's why I bought Synthmaster, despite doubting at the time whether I really needed another synth. But I saw how far it had already come from its initial release and figured that to remain competitive in a crowed market he'd likely continue on that trajectory. That turned out to be a good bet.
 
It already rivals my top-drawer synth, Zebra, in functionality and versatility (although to be fair Zebra's pretty long in the tooth now and I fully expect Zebra 3 to cement its top position).
 
BTW, everybody should also check out Chandler's tutorial on creating wavetables. (Time to update that one, eh? You could correct the word "oskillator" ;)
 

 

Thanks. Apparently there is some new free software that was just released that lets you make wavetables, so if I test it and it works perhaps I'll do a video for it. I'll try to be careful about my pronunciation of oscillators this time. I messed that up in 2 videos I believe, but the ones before it and after it I pronounce it correctly I think.
 
Anyway, with this I think SM has become a synth everyone should own. When its on sale its under a $100 and there isn't much it can't do. On top of that it sounds good.

Hello Zoheir  

English = oskillators
Galactic Basic = tribbles

Synthmaster goes on sale pretty frequently. Last July it was $61, and $85 to bundle it with Synthmaster One. A couple years ago I paid some crazy low price for it, like $20 or something. I wouldn't be surprised if there's something on tap for Black Friday.

I have got both Synthmaster and Serum.  Right now they are both similar in a few areas but also they are apart in other ways in their sound.  Serum can sweep wave tables in a way and have a certain sound while doing it and I am not hearing that in Synthmaster.  As yet anyway.  If Serum wavetables can be read by Synthmaster  than that is also another fortunate outcome of owning both.  Serum has an incredible sounding sample transposing algorithm maintaining very high fidelity while doing it. It has 4 oscillators really and the noise oscillator can also be any imported waves too. 
 
Synthmaster One sounds a little different to me right now compared to Synthmaster and it is a worthwhile companion synth. It is not a cut down version of Synthmaster but a slightly different synth engine instead. I like it a lot. It is strong in more complex sounding ambient pads and things.
 
Serum is nice to edit and also has a rather colourful effects section.  I like having all three. One thing I found with Serum, is that it is deep and the more you learn about it the more impressive it becomes. Synthmaster is in that same league though. Groove 3 have some great training material on it too.
 
It still never ceases to amaze how good Synthmaster can also sound. It has a deep quality sound to it. I have got Synthmaster for iOS running on a docked iPad and it also sounds sensational coming from there too.  There are large X/Y pads on the iOS version and they are a blast to manipulate while you play the sounds. 
 
I don't think you need both Serum and Synthmaster, you can certainly create those types of sounds from either of those alone. But having both is nice and luxurious. Especially when you start layering both of them and then throwing Synthmaster One into the mix as well or another layer.  Things get interesting for me when you start doing stuff like stacking ambient patches.  I am also using the Brauer Motion plugin which adds a three dimensional movement effect to the sound placement.  Also some pretty amazing panning options come to mind especially on some of the individual layers within a total ambient patch. 

Can someone provide a link for the Audio-Term download without going to Facebook.  I have not found it yet.  If you own Serum you don't need Audio-Term either. Serum can import and create wavetables easily. But I am also curious as to what other things Audio-Term can do.
