2011/10/07 in News, Software

KV331 Audio has announced the final release of Synthmaster 2.5.

SynthMaster 2.5 is the latest version of our “all-around” software synthesizer and effect plug-in. With version 2.5, SynthMaster is now crossplatform on both Windows and Mac OSX operating systems. In a nutshell, it’s an affordable all-around software synthesizer and effect plug-on.

With version 2.5, SynthMaster becomes a cross-platform plug-in running on Windows (32/64 bits) and Mac OSX (32 bits) operating systems in VST and AU formats.
The latest version comes with 400 new factory presets, while introducing new filter types, improved filter algorithms with pre/inside/post distortion routings, stereo oscillators with improved unison, vector synthesis with 2D envelopes, sample playback (SFZ) synthesis, improved arpeggiator, improved modulation architecture, improved easy parameters, online preset browser, multiple skins, flexible effects routing, improved effects as well as 3 new effects: Phaser, Ensemble and Compressor.

SynthMaster 2.5 has the following main features:

• Layers: In SynthMaster 2.5, every voice consists of 2 layers. Each layer has its own Arpeggiator/Sequencer, 2 Oscillators, 2 Multimode filters, 4 Modulators, 4 ADSR Envelopes, 2 Multistage Envelopes, 2 XY Envelopes, 2 LFOs, 4 KeyScalers and Distortion/LoFi/4 Band EQ effects.
• “Analog” filters: SynthMaster now sounds warmer with the addition of “analog” LP/HP/BP/BS filters modelled after the famous “Ladder” filter. Aside from those, 1/2/3/4 stage Allpass and Comb filters are new additions as well.
• “Wavetable/Wavescanning” oscillators: With the addition of Wavetable/wavescanning synthesis in SynthMaster 2.5, now it is possible to create very complex and evolving sounds using multiple wavetables and sequencing between them.
• Flexible Modulation Options: It is possible to modulate almost every continuous parameter using LFOs, Envelopes, KeyScalers, MIDI Velocity, MIDI Aftertouch or MIDI Controllers; which makes it possible to create very complex sounds with SynthMaster 2.0
• Rich Wavetable Content: Aside from the 128 factory wavetables licensed from Galbanum, 320 user wavetables selected from the Muz3um for Rapture patch set also comes with SynthMaster 2.5
• Rich Preset Content: To show the power of SynthMaster 2.0, a team of professional sound designers formed by Scot Solida, LeLotusBleu Sound Design, Xenos Soundworks, CFA-Sound and KV331 Audio’s own Teoman Pasinlioğlu have created more than 500 presets in a wide range of categories/genres.
• Preset Browser: With the addition of a preset browser users can now easily find the sound they’re looking for by filtering through preset category, music style or preset author.
• Skin Editor: SynthMaster 2.5 comes with its skin editor which allows the users to customize the look of SynthMaster, or to create new skins with different layouts.
