KV331 Audio has announced an update to its newly released flagship synthesizer instrument SynthMaster 3.

Starting from version 3.0.2, users can check for updates inside the plugin, allowing you to download smaller “update” installers instead of “full setup” installers.

There are many usability improvements and bug fixes in v3.0.2 update, the most important ones are the NKS support and audio preview features. With shift + mouse wheel for instance, you can listen to the audio previews very quickly as you can scroll up and down with the mouse scroll wheel. Same for shift+up/down arrow keys.
