So I recently got a new computer, got my DAW set up, and the first plugin I install is Synth1. I put my 25,000 presets in the zipbank folder, and it just doesn't seem to be recognizing zip files at all? Like, I've tried the directory change thing where you go into the options and set it to the zipbank folder, tried pretty much every trick that seems to work for everyone else, but for somefuck reason, it just doesn't recognize the files when they're zipped. Now, if I go in, take out all the files in one of the zipped banks, and just put it there, it recognizes it, but I do not wanna have to go through and individually unzip every single bank here, so like, does anybody have any ideas of what in the samhell might be going on?

I love Synth 1 and I prefer to use it for like... everything.... My only issue is when I find a sound I like and want to build around it, sometimes the lack of being able to control when the oscillators kick in causes some frustration.

For example, I've got this bass sound that has a sort of "up and down" feel that comes with the 2nd oscillator in sync with the 1st. Problem is the oscillators appear to always be running in the background, and there's no phase lock or retrigger functionality in Synth1.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get my sounds to always begin at the same point when I hit play?

I feel like my only option really would be to sample the sound and re-import it.

I just recently started getting into it. I'm challenging myself to make a full song, with only samples and this synth, no presets, all patches made from scratch. It's much less of a challenge than I expected, honestly! This thing is amazing, especially for being free. It'd be worth it if it costed money as well. Kudos to the devs!

I started this project back in the summer, and it's at a stage where I'm finding it useful. I made a video showcasing how it works: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBF74Cg6E_s

Looking for feedback, to decide if others would be interested in it, and whether I should invest more time working on it...

How do I install it...?

I can imagine how silly it sounds to you, but i got a zip that contains 9 soundbank folders and a few other things, but none of them is an application that starts the program, I tried with initsettings but that just opens a few boxes.

Is this a standalone program or a plug in for something else? What do i need?

Just for fun. I do patches for synth1 just for the sake of it. Anyone using it in production? I like to do emulations of instruments. synth1 can sound pretty well but you can revamp the sound using FX.

Im the author of one of the patches on the 10k sounds (Kel). Im improving my bank a little bit everyday. Now I have very good emulations on slap bass, rock and metal guitars, trumpets... But few people is interested in simulations of real instruments as people is more interested in trance. You can use synth1 to do more things than trance!!

My bank is free, here are some new audios done completely with synth1+fx if anyone is interested Ill upload the updated bank. Cheers. (everything is completely free and always will be like synth1)

This is not publicity!! just so you hear the patches.

Hello there!

So I just got Synth1 up and working. I'm using Logic 9. First, Logic tells me the synth isn't approved, or whatever, and every time I open logic, it says "there are unnapproved AU".. Or along those lines.

But the synth works, non the less. Well, sort of. To paint you a picture, I'm now literarily TERRIFIED of briefing the different presets now, with my headphones on. Because; sometimes, there comes this godawful, obnoxiously loud, distorted white noise-ish sound that sounds like Hiroshima, Satan and a U2-concert combined, even with my headphones off. Even if the sound is on minimum. The synth is basically ruined for me now, cause I'm not exposing my being to that ever again. Until I find a solution and makes that sound be gone from the universe forever.

Has anyone encountered this?

Hello, I've installed Synth1 on my Mac and loaded up some soundbanks and everything sounds fine. However, I am trying to install the 173 pack mega zip file from http://veryrandomstreams.blogspot.com/2012/03/over-10000-free-patchessounds-for-free.html. The problem I have is that Synth1 will not recognise the zip folder entered in "OPT"ions. Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks! Alternatively does anyone know of an earlier version of Synth1 available on the Mac?

i just downloaded synth1 on mac and put the component and vst file in their correct places on my disk but the plugin still does not seem to work properly. clicking on a knob forced my mouse to the top of the screen, ultimately setting that knob to max setting. the initial sound and sound preset window also does not show any of the presets i have loaded into it that are within a zip bank that i uploaded. has anyone encountered this? i am using fl studio 20 btw if that helps.

This synth is clearly awesome, I have some patches, I have not used them yet, still very new to this and all vst.

I really would like to understand how the interface and all the buttons and knobs affect the sound.

The goal is to be able to really develop a sound that i want, and basically just do it from scratch.

I feel like I need to add that I have looked at the manual that is provided on the Geocities site but found it unhelpful and confusing. :/

Thanks for anything!

Hi there everyone!
This is my first time posting on here but I've used Synth1 for 4 years.

My Synth1 Bank

This is my custom Synth1 bank, I've used it multiple times over my songs over 4 years.

It has sounds for all genres but it's more geared towards world, retro, and dance music.

Whenever I try to use a preset with Synth1, t just reverts to the initial sound when I try to play it. I can place notes just fine, but I can't play the notes afterwards, (I'm using Anvil Studio as a DAW.)

fresh install. have not added any presets (though i have a ton and will need info on that next) But plugin crashes only after i hit the bottom left windows to go through presets. Any info or work around?

Logic pro 10.4.8 catalina os

Synth1 (only one i found). v1.13beta

thanks

I believe it would be a great idea and Synth1's development and maintenance can be vastly improved by the participation of its users. Bugs will be spotted and eliminated much quicker, creating custom GUIs, adding custom features and bettering the existing ones will be an activity of a whole community of Synth1's admirers. What is even more important, this can assure that it never becomes abandoned freeware with unavailable source code, like so many good but lapsed plugins out there.
