KV331 Audio SynthMaster Everything Bundle Plug-Ins with Expansion Banks (Upgrade from SynthMaster One and 2.9 Synthesizer, Download) Overview
KV331 Audio SynthMaster 2.9 Everything Bundle includes the SynthMaster 2.9 semi-modular software synthesizer plug-in, SynthMaster One wavetable synthesizer plug-in, and the company’s entire collection of 30 expansion banks. The bundle offers 1850 presets created by nine different authors, with a wide variety of sounds for various genres.
SynthMaster 2.9 offers vector, additive, wavetable, FM synthesis, phase modulation, and sample playback, all in one plug-in. It comes with multi-algorithm oscillators and a massive modulation architecture with more than 650 modulation targets and 95 modulation sources. Also included are eleven effects with flexible routing, analog-modeled, zero-delay feedback filters, and a powerful arpeggiator. SynthMaster One uses wavetable synthesis and a rich set of eleven effects to open up new possibilities for sound design.
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.

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.
