Synth1 Changelog

What's new in Synth1 1.13 Beta 3

Feb 4, 2020
  • BugFix:
  • Fixed a problem that program name list is empty display if you add a synth1 instance after removing the synth1 on DAW(Reaper, etc.) .
  • Fixed a problem that reg2ini.exe and initsetting.exe does not work on WindowsXP.

New in Synth1 1.13 Beta 2 (Feb 4, 2020)

  • A new filter "LPDL" has been added in filter section:
  • It is a low-pass filter modeled after the diode ladder mounted on TB303, etc..
  • It is close to "LP24" Because it is the filter of the fourth order, but it is fat and darker than "LP24" feel.
  • Lower frequency also increase the resonance does not decrease. I think that it fits well in the synth bass.
  • This filter is over-sampling process if the sampling frequency is 44.1/48KHz.
  • Accuracy of the square wave has been improved. (8 multiple detune of osc1 are excluded)
  • Cut-off frequency of the "LP24" is now moving more smoothly.
  • BugFix:
  • Fixed a problem that a big noise has occurred at synth1 startup once in a while.
  • Fixed a problem that the LFO is not synchronized with the DAW once in a while.
  • Fixed a problem that the sound of synth1 is greatly changed once in a while when you change the sampling frequency in DAW.
  • Fixed a problem that DAW is crushed once in a while when you change the sampling frequency in DAW.

New in Synth1 1.13 Beta 1 (Feb 4, 2020)

  • 64bit version is available:
  • you can use synth1 on 64bit daw.
  • 32bit plugin file is "Synth1 VST.dll", 64bit plugin file is "Synth1 VST64.dll".
  • VST version up to 2.4. (both of 32bit/64bit):
  • There is no change to the previous version in functionality.
  • BugFix:
  • Fixed a problem that occurred is petit noise on MusicMaker.

New in Synth1 1.12 (Feb 4, 2020)

  • It corresponded to an external bank (ZIP file):
  • It came to be able to read the ZIP file that compressed the .sy1 file.
  • It comes to be able to select it from the patch selection window of Synth1 only by putting the zip file on the external bank folder (default is "zipbank").
  • Two or more folders can be included in one zip file with the hierarchy.
  • It is not possible to write it in an external bank. It is only for reading.
  • The preservation place of the set up information was changed from the Windows registry to the ini file:
  • The event that the set up information was not preserved on 64bit OS or it was not possible to refer occurred. I think this event to be ameliorable.
  • Therefore, when the setting of existing Synth1 is succeeded, it is necessary to execute set succession tool (reg2ini,exe).
  • The reference) The ini file is "APPDATADaichiSynthsynth1.ini" .
  • GUI:
  • The method of selecting the bank in the patch selection window corresponding an external bank was changed to the tree view form.
  • Memo (readme.txt) of each bank folder was confirmed and it preserved it in the patch selection window.
  • It was able to be set whether to use a transparent window on the patch selection screen etc. by an optional dialog.
  • Sound Engine:
  • High-pass/Low-pass filter was added to Delay's feedback loop.
  • BugFix:
  • Problem that slider was displayed in LCD parts at setting that doesn't use slider window

New in Synth1 1.11 (Feb 4, 2020)

  • Sound Engine:
  • The sub oscillator was added:
  • The same pitch as oscillator1 or one octave under can be selected.
  • When OSC1 is eight multiple unison, the suboscillator becomes similar, too.
  • FM modulation also influences the suboscillator as well as OSC1.
  • The suboscillator doesn't influence the AM modulation.
  • When the amount of the suboscillator is raised, the entire volume is automatically adjusted not to grow.
  • The wave pulse of the suboscillator always becomes a square wave regardless of a pulse width parameter.
  • The saw wave was changed from rising type to the descent type:
  • To operate the suboscillator effectively, it changed.
  • The amplitude value by 0 phases changed from 0 to +1.
  • The accuracy of the envelope of Amplifier has been improved.
  • The limiter algorithm of Filter is changed, and the noise has been improved only a little.
  • The performance of OSC1 at eight unisons has been improved a little.
  • System requirements:
  • It did not operate in CPU that did not support SSE2:
  • It seems to cause the expansion of the source code when keeping supporting it any further. To our regret, it was assumed operation off the subject.
  • The error message is displayed in the upper part of the panel when operating with CPU that doesn't correspond, and the sound is not generated.
  • Small improvement and change of GUI:
  • A part of objection of the parameter name was corrected.
  • The patch selection window etc. were shut with the escape key.
  • BugFix:
  • Problem of operation of sustaining pedal
  • Problem that old FM setting value remained at voice trigger
  • Problem that loudness at unison has changed in old version
  • Problem that gain knob of Amplifier did not occasionally work
  • Problem that patch change with program change spin button was not made good after it writes it in another bank
  • Problem with thing that Synth1 window flickers according to environment
  • Problem that position where parameter selection window etc. are displayed does clip to primary monitor in multimonitor environment

New in Synth1 1.10 (Feb 4, 2020)

  • The switch which chose the right or wrong of the patch choice from the vst host GUI was added to an optional dialogue:
  • The phenomenon that patch choice mechanism of the vst host side became unstable in occurred frequently. It is the result that expanded the number of the banks to 100. The switch is a thing to avoid this phenomenon.
  • When this switch is on, tone choice is possibility from the vst host GUI; (as before). However, depending on the vst host, a patch is not chosen, and there is a thing kept waiting for several seconds.
  • When this switch is off, you cannot choose a patch from vst host GUI. However, the trouble mentioned above does not occur.
  • It is by default off.
  • BugFix:
  • The problem that pingpong delay did not become effective.
  • The problem that failed in the conversion of the patch of Synth1 of the old version.
  • The problem that a patch name did not synchronize with a VST host between Synth1 well.
  • When did over of a mouse in voice status; the problem that mouse shape became the hand shape.

New in Synth1 1.09 (Feb 4, 2020)

  • A phase control function was added:
  • The "phase" knob in the Oscillatos section immobilizes phase relations in the trigger of oscillator 1 and oscillator 2 and adjusts it. The phase is not fixed if I finish turning a knob to the left (like conventionally).
  • The "phase" knob in the Voice section immobilizes phase relations in the trigger of oscillators done unison and adjusts it. This knob should not be effective unless I immobilize phase in an oscillator section.
  • I think that I am easy to make the base sounds with a feeling of weight if I adjust the parameter mentioned above and the number of the unison voices, the unison detune.
  • The number of the polyphonic was expanded to 32:
  • The number of the polyphonic became the parameter every patch.
  • The number of the unison voice was expanded to 8:
  • Regardless of the voicing mode, you got possible to set the number of the unison voices with less than eight freely.
  • The assignment function to LFO of modulation wheel was improved:
  • You can assign major MIDI control change and the channel after touch to arbitrary synthesizer parameter.
  • I coped with a sense to the minus direction.
  • I changed effect of the unison mode knob exponentially:
  • It is easy to have come to do control of the small detune width.
  • Small improvement / a change of GUI:
  • It was easy to look and changed the fonts such as patch select windows.
  • The color of the LCD was changed to be able to brighten a little.
  • I made drawing of the LED simple and improved easiness in seeing.
  • The panel size of the default became 150%.
  • Voice status (disabled / key on / key off / ready) was displayed.
  • I revised some words of the dialogue.
  • The Lissajous indication function was abolished.
  • The size of the panel was expanded to 250%.
  • BugFix:
  • The problem that a screen flickers for an instant when I carry out a change to preset in Reaper.
  • The problem that all parameters were not displayed in a dialogue of the MIDI control assignment.

New in Synth1 1.08 (Feb 4, 2020)

  • The DXi version became the discontinued:
  • Because the maintenance of the development environment was difficult, I abolished the DXi version.
  • The Synth1 Installer became the discontinued:
  • Because there was not the necessity, with the abolition for DXi, I abolished the installer. On the other hand, I attach tool (initsetteings.exe) initializing the setting (windows registry) such as bank folders. When you use Synth1 for the first time, please initialize setting with this tool.
  • The number of the banks was expanded to 100:
  • The setting initialization tool does the setting to bank00 - 09, but does not set bank10 - 99. When you use bank10 - 99, prepare a folder by yourself, Please set it in an optional dialog.
  • BugFix:
  • Correspondence of the malfunction that the MIDI tab of the optional dialogue is replaced by without permission.
  • Just after a tone save, time when a program change was not performed fixed the bug that there was.
