Thank you @kv331audio_bulent,
The new Beta works well inside Cubasis 3 as AUv3, there are some noises when changing presets, I also encountered an unexpected crash whilst changing presets on my iPad Air 4, not yet tried it on my 13” Air 6.
The sound quality is excellent.
I have emailed zipped log files.

Hi Mike,
About the noise generated generated during preset switches: Unfortunately that is a technical limitation for now. I can may be fade out, and then fade in the audio during preset loading.
Work in progress for the iPhone standalone app user interfaces. The only caveat with the iPhone UI is that the keyboard is on a specific tab, not always available. I thought this wouldn't be a showstopper though:
Really nice, could you please set it as the default layout for ipad mini (8' screen size) ? The enlarged fonts are a huge help but the menus are still barely legible at this size on the 10' layout, I know my eyesight isn't perfect but it's even more difficult to read than synthmaster 2, which was already pretty tiny as plugins go. Maybe consider having a light theme like on SM1 and SM2, or changing the font for tiny screens ? The new one looks slick but it's definitely too stocky to make out letters properly at lower resolutions.
Also I've noticed that the auv 3 plugin is named "3 player" instead of "Synthmaster 3 player" in my host (Loopy Pro), probably something mispelled here.
I've tried some Synthmaster 2 presets that I use often with Midi Guitar, and while they sound the same, they don't seem to have the same response in terms of how the notes are tied together. It might be that I have modified the original presets a bit for more glide, I can't remember. Is there an easy way to import a custom preset from synthmaster 2 directly into the player so I can test on the exact parameters ?
Apart from those everything seems to work fine in the auv3 plugin. It takes its time being loaded up but it seems to work well after that. I also noticed what was pointed out about the trails of the signal getting into the new preset when switching. It would be better to cut off all sound when a new preset is selected in my opinion, but I understand it is easier said than done.
Some kind of confirmation on registration and preset pack downloads would be nice, it seems to accept the registration input but then nothing happens, and when clicking on download for bundles nothing happens either, I don't know if it is because it already has everything downloaded or because I don't own the bundles or something else. Having absolutely no feedback is awkward though, and I'm still missing presets from my synthmaster 2 bundles although I tried to click everywhere.
EDIT : the confirmation is present on the standalone plugin, but not on the auv3, except for the last entry for me (unlock desktop presets, doesn't do anything). In the auv3 every download button is unresponsive. Even downloading everything using the standalone version, I have 4504 presets and not the 8000 advertised for the everything bundle, and 4503 in the auv3 (for some reason the last preset doesn't appear in the list), and a lot of the presets I use in synthmaster 2 expansion packs seem to be missing.
The interface goes through some weird rearranging when you change its size in auv3 mode. Try to change it continuisly from fullscreen to half or one third height and you will see some very odd switching between templates, including some where the settings menu is duplicated on the right side.
Great timing, my Keystage arrived the same day this was available. It is going to be a fun weekend testing this out.
Hi @kv331audio_bulent
Is SM3 Player able to load user presets from SM3 Full? I have tried both Sync presets with Cloud (the names of the presets appear to download but they do not appear in the browser). I have also exported the bank Zip from desktop and tried the “import presets” function (everything is greyed out when selecting the bank so it is unable to import anything)
Or is this version designed to work with the official banks only?
Thanks!
Hi @kv331audio_bulent,
I tried launching SM Player 3 in stand-alone mode four times on my 13” iPad Air 6 but it crashed immediately after the loading screen, a reboot fixed the issue. There are no logs for these crashes to send. So far there are no issues using the player in Cubasis 3
Mike
Hi Mike,
Could you please send me the crash logs under:
Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Analytics and Improvements -> Analysis Data
(Also if possible please share analysis data)
Hi there
Player can not load smpr files for SynthMaster One / 2 / 3, that is by design. It can load user bank files though, if you are registered and have "Unlock Desktop Features and Presets" IAP. I haven't fully tested this, will do this next week.
Analytic Logs sent 👍
Mike
I just tried SM3 and I have only one thing to say.
I downloaded nearly all the preset packs and wow, this synth sounds amazing, the new Roland synth will be available soon but I would rather put my money on Synthmaster 3, it has everything sound you ever need.
Mike
Here is a short-ish demo of some of the Factory presets.
And a look around the Player version.
Yep!!
@kv331audio_bulent will the size of SM3 be optimized or that’s about the size it will be ?
Will SM3 replace SM2 and SM1 ? SynthMaster are my favourite but I would not mind making space If SM3 can replace the other 2.
@kv331audio_bulent, please also see my related question earlier in the thread regarding the possibility of being able to delete factory presets to keep the install size to a minimum.
Typically, presets are of negligible size.
Come on September I reckon.
Well actually it does replace both.
Yes, generally but not if they include samples - with SM3’s multiple synthesis types available I’m guessing some presets have samples associated with them (no, I’m not suggesting it’s a rompler before anyone leaps on that)? Something has to account for the huge installation size and I doubt it’s the code for the synthesizer itself? Maybe it has several gb of wavetables included?
Whatever it is, being able to reduce the storage footprint for those that would want to should, I think, be taken into account if at all possible.
Good news with iOS (AUv3) <-> MacOS (AUv2) interoperability:
Logic Pro iOS -> Desktop working. Logic Pro MacOS can now open Logic Pro iOS projects with SynthMaster 3 Player inside (will be similar behaviour for SynthMaster 3).
Similarly, Logic Pro iOS can now open Logic Pro MacOs projects if they are saved with SynthMaster 3/Player v3.4.9 or later versions:
Garageband still fails though, but who uses it anyways
Hi @kv331audio_bulent, you are doing a fantastic job, I am ready to buy SM3 now, I founds some killer lead presets in the Synthmaster 3/Synthwave section and I don’t want to loose them!

Thank you Mike!
For those of you who would like to support us, I created a coupon code: LOOPY50OFF and here's the link with this coupon . This coupon will give you 50% OFF discount on our web shop. It is valid until April 1st, and I will add Unlock Desktop Presets and Features IAP to those of you who make purchases with this coupon.
I have to ship the app with all the factory content, but I think I can save around 600 MB by not including all preset previews inside the app. So that should reduce the download size to 1.6 GB and install size to 2.0 GB. I will try to do this next week.
Thanks, anything which helps in this aspect automatically makes it a more viable option for those of us who are constantly fighting against a lack of storage space! 600 mb it’s a considerable saving, cheers.
Hi @kv331audio_bulent,
Every time I unplug my headphones from my 13” iPad Air 6, the presets change in SM3 when use as AUv3 in Cubasis 3, this also happens when editing the occasional MIDI track.
Mike
Hi Mike
You are using last night's beta 1 build, right?
I released our Beta 1 version last night, which is now 350 MB less than before. I removed all expansion preset previews. They are now downloaded and installed when user presses the "Preview" button.
nvm
