When a sample is playing at high speeds (phase increment > loop length), SynthMaster crashes.In the “Mono” trigger node, LFO/Sequencer envelopes don’t receive the Note Off message when the mono gate changes the state from On to Off.SynthMaster might crash when MSEG segment lengths are very short and envelope length is close to zero.Samples or waveforms under the user documents folder’s subfolders are not read when the subfolder nest level is greater than 1.User presets don’t show up when user names contain non-ASCII characters on Windows.Mono presets in SynthMaster behave correctly (they play polyphonic since MPE sends MIDI in multiple channels). When MIDI Channel is set to “MPE” mode, MIDI Channel 1 is used as the Global channel as per the standard. MPE Mode: SynthMaster now conforms to MPE standard much better: Each preset now has a MIDI Channel parameter, which can be set globally as well.Left/Right arrows are used to change the octave while Up/Right arrows are reserved for changing the current preset. This allows the user to play notes or record arp steps without having a MIDI controller. QWERT Keyboard Input: SynthMaster now supports MIDI input by pressing keys on the computer QWERT keyboard.If it detects samples that are part of a multisample or drumkit, the sfz multisample definition is created automatically. Waveform/Sample Import Improvements: SynthMaster now differentiates between waveforms, wavetables, or samples in a much better way, and imports them correctly.
Users can download presets from the Public User Library by clicking on the Online button. Users can upload their presets to the Public User Library that’s hosted on the cloudĨ.3.Favorite presets can be added/removed easily by clicking on the star icon next to the preset name. Instrument categories are now listed based on Native Instruments NKS standards.In dual-mode, 2 separate sequences can be created and morphed using the Crossfade parameter.Sequencers have up to 16 steps with individual initial/final levels and slopes.For LFOs and Sequencers, triggering can be set to Global, Single, Poly, and Random.Glide/Step LFOs in prior versions are now loaded as Sequencers.New Modulation Sources: Each layer in SynthMaster now has 4 ADSR envelopes, 4 Multisegment envelopes, 4 LFOs, 4 Sequencers, 4 Keyscalers, and 2 2D Envelopes.As a comparison, prior versions of SynthMaster only allowed a fixed number of effects per instance (1 Delay, 1 Chorus, and 1 Reverb for instance). Dynamic Effect Allocation: Insert effects can now be instantiated multiple times on multiple insert FX slots.MIDI Learn for discrete controls: MIDI learn now works for all controls, including discrete controls and modulation matrix controls.The root note of the scale can be set globally.
Better Support for Microtuning: SynthMaster 2.9.9 comes with 300+ scales ranging from 5 note to 12 note, in equal or alternate temperaments.Resize Skins Easily: Skins can now be resized by dragging the triangle arrows at the bottom right corner of the plugin user interface (as in SM1).The animations are optional, they can be turned on or off. Now users can clearly see how modulation sources and targets are changing when they play a note. Realtime Visual Feedback for Modulation Sources and Targets: This one was a heavily requested feature from SynthMaster users.KV331 Audio states that putting those modulations sources right under the synth/fx modules would speed up the sound design workflow. Extended versions of the skins are provided as well, which include two tabs with pitch/mod wheels, piano keyboard, MIDI Modulation Sources, EZ knobs, and XY Pads.
New / Updated Skins with a larger layout: Satyatunes created a new Dark skin for SynthMaster, and updated the existing Tranquil Blue skin as well.However, there have been massive changes under the hood since KV331 Audio has reengineered their internal framework towards their efforts for SynthMaster 3 development.” – KV331 Team New Features:
“It’s almost 2 years since KV331 Audio last updated SynthMaster, and this small version increment from 2.9.8 to 2.9.9 might look insignificant.
KV331 Audio has released the version 2.9.9 update for their SynthMaster awarded software synthesizer, bringing major usability improvements and critical bug fixes as a free update for existing users.
