KV331 Audio SynthMaster 1 + 2 Bundle – Software Suite with SynthMaster One & SynthMaster 2.9 (Download) Overview
The SynthMaster 1 + 2 Bundle from KV331 Audio combines SynthMaster 2.9 with SynthMaster One (released after SynthMaster 2.9) in one convenient package. SynthMaster 2.9 gives you multiple synthesis engines (including: basic, additive, and vector isolator), an arpeggiator, and more—not to mention a comprehensive effects section and 1800 presets. Synthmaster One, on the other hand, is a soft synth with wavetable synthesis, which gives you 500 factory presets, provides two oscillators, two sub oscillators, two LFOs, two zero-latency filters, four ASDR envelopes, and more. Both are compatible with Mac and Windows computers.
KV331 Audio SynthMaster 2.9 – Semi-Modular Software Synthesizer Plug-In (Download)
KV331 Audio SynthMaster 2.9 is a semi-modular, software synthesizer plug-in featuring multiple synthesis methods including VAnalog, additive, wavetable, wavescanning, phase modulation, frequency modulation, pulse width modulation, ring modulation, amplitude modulation, physical modeling, and SFZ sample playback.
The Basic oscillators generate many different types of waveforms, including sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse, noise, wavetable and multi-sampled WAV/AIFFs defined in SFZ files. Additionally, the software allows for several different combinations of the basic oscillator for added flexibility.
The synthesizer also includes flexible effects routing with eleven types of effects and extensive modulation options and multiple filter types. The arpeggiator features classic arpeggiator modes and each of the thirty-two steps of the arpeggiator has its own velocity, note number, note length, slide, and hold parameters.

KV331 Audio SynthMaster One – Wavetable Synthesizer Plug-In (Crossgrade from SynthMaster Player, Download)
SynthMaster One from KV331 Audio is a wavetable soft-synth which provides an intuitive feel and easy-to-grasp work flow. If you’ve used KV331’s flagship SynthMaster, you’ll be familiar with the sound-engine of the synth already. Nevertheless, SynthMaster One boasts a few features not available in its bigger-sibling’s interface, such as full wavetable synthesis. You can even import your own wavetable files directly into SynthMaster One.
The synth gives you two oscillators, two sub oscillators, two zero-delay feedback filters, and arpeggiator and step sequencer, four ADSR envelopes, two LFOs, and 11 effects available on six insert slots. All of this is available without multiple tabs in the GUI—everything is laid out in a single screen. 500 Presets are provided, and you can enable routing of filters and LFOs simply by clicking on a modulation source, holding down the mouse, and dragging up to your desired parameter-knob, which will light up when it becomes selectable. This software is compatible with both Mac and Windows systems, operating in AU, VST, and standalone formats.
Semi-Modular Architecture
For each SynthMaster One instance, there are two oscillators with two sub oscillators, as well as two filters, four ADSR Envelopes, two LFOs, a 16-step arpeggiator/sequencer and 11 effects assignable to six insert slots. The sub oscillators can be connected to the oscillators in five different modes. You can use them as regular sub oscillators or do complex modulations, such as ring-mod, or amplitude, phase, and frequency modulation.
500 Factory Presets
SynthMaster One comes with 500 factory presets from a team of sound designers.
16-Step Arpeggiator/Sequencer
The arpeggiator features classic arpeggiator modes such as Up, Down, UpDown, DownUp, UpDown2, DownUp2, AsPlayed. You also get Sequence, Chord, and Arpeggiate modes. Each of the 16 steps has its own Velocity, Note Number, Note Length, Slide and Hold parameters.
Wavetable Synthesis
SynthMaster One implements true wavetable synthesis. Unlike SynthMaster, where you can sequence up to 16 waveforms to create a wavetable, you can import wave files that actually contain wavetables into SynthMaster One. SynthMaster One also comes with a rich wavetable library and you can extend that by dragging wavetables under the Waveforms folder of SynthMaster One.
Stereo Oscillators with up to 16 Voices Unison
Each of the oscillators have stereo outputs, and can sport up to 16 voices of unison playback. Using the Voices, Voices Mix, Detune Curve, Detune Spread, Pan Spread, Tone Spread, and Phase Spread parameters, you can engender a rich, “supersaw” sound in each oscillator.
Zero-Delay Feedback Filters
All of the filter categories have been developed using the zero-delay feedback filter technology. With parameters such as input gain, drive, and acid, you can approximate a more “analog” sound.
Rich Set of Effects
SynthMaster One provides Distortion, LoFi, Ensemble, Phaser, 6 Band EQ, Compressor, Vocoder, Delay, Chorus, Tremolo, Reverb.
Microtuning
SynthMaster One supports Scala tuning, so tuning can be set either for each preset or globally by loading from a Scala tuning file.
Preset Browser
A comprehensive preset browser with separate search criteria for instrument type, preset attributes, music style, or preset author has been provided.
Importing MIDI Patterns as Arpeggiator Sequence
Monophonic and polyphonic MIDI patterns can be imported into the arpeggiator by dragging and dropping of the MIDI file onto the arpeggiator view on the plug-in window.
Cross-platform VST and AU
SynthMaster One runs as a VST instrument on both Windows and Mac OSX, and also as an Audio Unit instrument on Mac OSX. On Windows, it runs as a standalone application as well.
