Where'd all the Synthmaster love go?
I want to love it, and I have bought several expansion packs, but I just can't see people talk about it very much.
For myself, I often feel I want to tweak a sound a little bit more than I can. Not sure if I'm just spoiled, and should be relying on my own patch making abilities more anyway. Thoughts?
And, as always, I'm curious what people's favorite Synthmaster expansions are.
Comments
My favorites are: The Rob Lee packs. There is some good stuff in those.
I don't have sounds of the world yet, but I plan on getting it, I like what I hear from the demo-ish thing in the synth that lets you listen to the sounds.
I have the essential Clubbin as well, it's good, and comes with 150 presets, but I don't like it as much as the Rob Lee stuff.
As for tweaking, I'm not one to comment on that, I mostly do presets. If I start to look at all the different screens for Nave, Thor, Magellan, Sunrizer, Tera.......I can't handle it. I wouldn't know where to start. Synthmaster doesn't seem to be that complicated, but I still just love to play the presets. I am after all, just a guitar player. lol...
Should I really be messing around with synths? There just so damn fun.
Yes. I recommend Google "New York school of synthesis", and watch the videos.
Pony up for syntorial.
So tempted by syntorial. At half the price i would jump right in.
I rarely use presets without them being tweaked. Sometimes quite heavily tweaked.
Some good presets to be bought with Synthmaster, but I then get frustrated when I can't tweak the settings I want. I find some presets give very little control at all.
I hope that Synthmaster make the full synth with editing available for the iPad Pro!
I hope they finally get around to release the iPhone version, Alchemy needs a heir.
I got the "sounds of the world" and "big tone" pack few hours ago, love them!
I run them thru audiobus and turnado or dfx so no problem . Although I admit I would love a modulation matrix....
Can it import my presets from the desktop version?
@Korakios
Yeah sounds of the world is a great pack. Yep I add effects too, but would sometimes kill for just a basic envelope to alter some of the sounds. Some have more controls than others.
Some synths even softsynths respond to general midi CC. (Filter ,volume, ADSR) So I'll check it tonight
Never even thought of trying that, but if their is no option on their control panel for that particular preset, I doubt it will.....but everything is worth a try.
Just to add a thought, I could always sample the sounds I need and play with them in say, Beatmaker2 or Cubasis.
Same question here, maybe I'll send a mail to the dev
I think the latest desktop version of SynthMaster allows you to save custom presets and transfer them to the iOS Player.
I think they have different format.
Maybe @lbiyikoglu could answer this? I think that was their intent with the 2.7 SynthMaster update.
We had the SynthMaster song competition which was completed about two weeks ago, so I guess not much else to talk about for the moment?
For entering the contest we were awarded our choice of two sound packs and I grabbed these: Art Rock Basics, and BigTone Signature Sounds Vol 1. I already had these old school packs: Historic Synth Giants (Vol 1, and 2) and a couple of the Dawn of Electronic Music packs.
Without more sonic tweak-ability many of the presets, for me, are just for fun and won't be used in my compositions. However, some of the presets can be messed with quite a bit and can result in something, well...quite different.
@johnfromberkeley I stole the Synthmaster love. I meant to tell the forum. Leadoff track to my upcoming EP has something like 8 Synthmaster tracks. I like the EDM expansion pack - World Sounds will probably get a workout before too long.
Speaking for myself, I haven't been talking about Synthmaster -or much of anything lately - because I've been busy using it. That and my newfound love affair with Beathawk
@eustressor
Love Beathawk too, but one of the updates messed up the IAPs and my own sample sets. Took me an age to sort it back out and reload the lot. I can't get to grips with midi for it though.
My latest BeatHawk, SynthMaster and SampleTank tune:
By the way, I updated SynthMaster 2.7.6 on my Mac, and it lets me export bank to iOS. I haven't tried it yet.
@eustressor - Great comments, especially the using it part. Also made me think of a title for a pop song: "Bring Back My Synthmaster Love"
And yeah, BeatHawk plus SynthMaster...a great duet of apps...loads of possibilities there that I need to explore!
My main beef is lack of Audioshare or even Dropbox integration. Having to rely on iTunes File Sharing is often a deal breaker for me, but it just sounds so damn good. Bummer about your presets, though. I hate when a glitch costs me hours of tweaking & troubleshooting. Regarding Midi, are you referring to using a controller with it? I haven't tried ... yet ...
COLLAB! "Bring Back My Synthmaster Love," in the style of J. Geils Band "Come Back," featuring Toz Bourne, myself and ... @LostBoy85 killing it on the lead vocals
Very nice track - chill and yet still bringing the boogie. Man, you are ON! It's like you were waiting for this thread to venture OT, mention Beathawk and ... BAM
I use AudioCopy to load samples, so it's not too problematic, just more long winded if I've made the samples in Audioshare and then have to transfer them to AC and then to Beathawk. I'd loaded 3 full pad sets full of samples. Arranged and adjusted settings. They were going to be my kits while I played individual sounds out by using Thumbjam. Sorted the midi now, forgot to engage play selected pad in settings.
No multiple outs sucks as well, but that is true of many apps.
Everything goes better with Beathawk I'm finding. Excited to hear about the Synthmaster update- won't wait now, sharing banks or presets is one of the huge pluses with this synth, really going either way, from vst to iOS or hopefully back t'other way.
@Fruitbat1919 @eustressor you can import files directly into Beathawk from AudioShare including complete folders by selecting iCloud Import File from the browser.
Not to take away from the SynthMaster topic, I did this tune in BeatHawk about 4 months ago when I first got it. Using BeatHawk for rhythm and ThumbJam for e-piano solo (performed onscreen). Swish is Cubasis instrument. Recorded into Cubasis.
Kicking myself lol
Thanks
