  • Has anyone had any experience with this themselves? Looks good from YouTube reviews.

    • +2

      I have (a few years ago), lots of bugs (including of one of the major advertised features) and when I reported them the developer was rude to me.

  • Is this pitching itself as an affordable Serum?

    • Synthmaster 1 came out before Serum. Both are the same concept though, just Serum has had more support.

      I've swapped to hardware synths these days, getting better results. I'm sick of driving mouseses too.

      • what've you got out of curiosity?

        • Nothing flash. Behringer Deepmind 12, Novation BassStation, Roland System 1 and Behringer Wasp. Running it all back through my DAW for additional sequencing, recording, editing, FX, etc. Having a really good time.

          I would like to buy more toys, quality hardware delay and verb units would be nice. Maybe drop the Wasp and get in something like a Prologue or Hydrasynth.

  • What are the improvements over synthmaster one?
    I had it bundled with the fishman tripleplay guitar synth
    if you already have v1, the upgrade it seems will cost $19usd

    • The $19 offer is for a crossgrade from SynthMaster One. While this product is being marketed as "SynthMaster 2", it is version 2 of Synthmaster, which is a different product to Synthmaster One. Synthmaster is quoted as being the "bigger brother", which is why the crossgrade could be perceived as an upgrade, but the two products are quite distinct and operate differently, each with their own sound patches and range of expansion libraries (which, I believe are incompatible, but I don't have any expansions for either, so I'm not certain).

      For US$19 I'd say it's a good option to have in your virtual synth collection, but it also doesn't really bring much that you might not already have available if, like me, you have far too many VSTs and generally stick with tried-and-familiar favourites.

      I'll also mention that SynthMaster is a modular synth and there's likely a learning curve if you are unfamiliar with patch modelling and want to fully utilise what the application is capable of.

      Hope that helps.

      • Thanks for that explanation very useful
