Pardon my ignorance - what's an xrun?
Please down load the synths from this folder, not the original Synthmaker Bundle.

Re: Synthmaker bundle
It's the situation when your hardware/software has no resources to process the incoming/outgoing audio data. This causes clicks/pops or short repeats in the final audio stuff.k brown wrote:Pardon my ignorance - what's an xrun?

Re: Synthmaker bundle
Yes; I haven't tested all the synths yet, but they're on the front burner now. I tested 80-Vox and things went fine. Same with b6a, but with a few glitches.
Atticus was not playable, I think the CPU was quite high as well. In a couple cases, the GUI looked nice, but the dials were not readable, so I wasn't able to understand what they were set at (I had to guess).
I'll update with more as I test..

PS. I'm testing on 32-bit, AntiX (Debian). I don't remember the Wine version, but it's the newest in the KXStudio repos.

Re: Synthmaker bundle
What's the fuss about these synths and why are they getting so much attention here? Am I right that they only run in wine? They certainly look lovely but there are lots of windows synths.
Re: Synthmaker bundle
Read up on xruns a bit.
If the issue is GUI-related, I'm afraid I just don't know what changes to make there.
Regarding CPU load in general, Atticus is surely the most overstuffed synth I've built, and Synthmaker stuff is rather CPU-hungry to start with.
I did go in and change a few things which helped a bit - the biggest difference was made by having oscillators switch off when their output Volume is turned all the way down. Making sure any unused oscs are turned all the way down helps a lot. Also be sure modulation inputs that have their amounts all the way down (not being used), have no source selected (showing: ". . .").
Re-download from the link below and see if it's any better.

Re: Synthmaker bundle
I know the author of the plugins can't help, but maybe someone else can.
Why do these plugins look so bad on my machine? For example, this synth is supposed to look like this:
On my computer, it looks like this:
That happens to all the plugins in this pack. Does anyone have any idea?

Re: Synthmaker bundle
Yes, I can confirm the problems with the GUI. I get this message a lot in the terminal:
fixme:gdiplus:GdipDrawPath graphics object has no HDC
Don't know if that helps...

Re: Synthmaker bundle
I thought I had seen someone post a shot where the plugin looked good, but I just searched the thread again and I can't find it. I must have seen one of k brown's own shots and mistaken it for someone else's.

Re: Synthmaker bundle
I don't see any fuss really, it's just a rather big package of plugins that are new on the block, and some people are interested. Chances are you will find something you like in such a large collection.sysrqer wrote:What's the fuss about these synths and why are they getting so much attention here?

Besides, the author himself is here sparing his attention, which makes room for questions, comments and general conversation.
They only run on Wine, but isn't Wine specifically made for Linux? Isn't that how Carla and Airwave run Windows plugins? Reaper also gets a sizable amount of attention here, already did even before there was a Linux version being made.

Re: Synthmaker bundle
The b6a synth seems to perform well: low CPU, few if any xruns. The GUI:

Re: Synthmaker bundle
I think a 4 page thread for plugins which don't even run natively on linux is quite a lot of attentionLuc wrote:I don't see any fuss really, it's just a rather big package of plugins that are new on the block, and some people are interested.sysrqer wrote:What's the fuss about these synths and why are they getting so much attention here?

Absolutely, they do look incredible but it's not like there is a lack of choice of windows plugins to run in wine. I was just curious why these ones were getting attention here rather than the million others around. Are they open source?Luc wrote: Chances are you will find something you like in such a large collection.
That's cool, it would be great if he could release a native version for us, I would be extremely interested then.Luc wrote: Besides, the author himself is here sparing his attention, which makes room for questions, comments and general conversation.
Not sure what that has to do with anything. Yes, carla and airwave use wine, and?Luc wrote: They only run on Wine, but isn't Wine specifically made for Linux? Isn't that how Carla and Airwave run Windows plugins?

Re: Synthmaker bundle
Successfully running windows applications in linux (through WIne or otherwise) is a feather in the hat of open source.

Aisi, anyway.

Set gdiplus to Native (Windows) or "Native then Buitlin", both worked on my system. winecfg: Here's my screenshot note: for other plugins to work (Xfer OTT, Limiter No6) I had to disable d2d1
hope this helps
