KV331 Audio has announced an the release of an update to its flagship all-around modular software synthesizer for Windows and Mac.
Version 3.1 of SynthMaster 3 brings various new features and critical bug fixes.
Changes in SynthMaster 3.1
- New Dark and White skins designed by Levent Biyikoglu.
- Added 25 Drum Kit presets designed by Gercek Dorman and 50 analog inspired presets designed by Bulent Biyikoglu.
- Vastly improved workflow for selecting waveforms/wavetables/samples for oscillators with a new Waveform/Wavetable/Sample Browser Dialog. When the user clicks on an oscillator waveform display, the dialog shows up with the current waveform selected. On this dialog, users can preview waveforms/wavetables/samples, favorite the ones they like, and also filter them by name/favorite flag.
- “Voice modifiers” for Basic/VAnalog Oscillators, ADSR envelopes and filters to emulate poly analog synths’ slightly different parameter values for each voice, giving them their unique characteristics. The modules now have a new “Vintage” knob. To add voice modifiers to those modules, users simply increase the value of this knob, and then bring up the “Voice Modifiers Dialog” by right clicking on the vintage knob. On this dialog, they can edit all parameters with voice modifiers.
- Simplified process of favoriting and hiding presets by adding 2 icons next to each preset name on the presets list: Favourite Flag and Hidden Flag. By clicking on the Hidden flag, users can simply hide a preset. This is especially useful to hide presets in banks, since presets in banks can not be deleted individually. On top of the presets list, there are now 2 icons to easily filter presets for Favourite and Hidden flags.
- “Drum Part” layers and Master Drum Sequencer Dialog turns SynthMaster 3 into a powerful drum synthesizer. This new dialog is used to edit drum patterns for “drum part” layers. There can be up to 128 patterns for each drum kit preset and each pattern can be triggered by playing different keys. Users can easily copy, paste, duplicate, add, delete, load or save patterns.
- Various bug fixes.
