Synthmaster 2.9 Arrives With An Array Of New Features And Bug Fixes

SynthMaster 2.9 is the latest update from KV331 that includes new wavetable features, new factory presets, in-app-store, internationalisation support and critical fixes. Here’s KV331 with the full list of details…

This update brings the following new features to SynthMaster:

Wavetable synthesis: SynthMaster now supports wavetables with up to 256 waveforms. Users can easily import wavetables by dragging and dropping files/folders on to the wavetable display. The wavetable display can show wavetables in 4 different ways: 2D Waveform, 2D Spectrum, 3D Waveform and 3D Spectrum. The factory waveforms and wavetables in SynthMaster One are also included in SynthMaster 2.9.

New Factory Presets: SynthMaster 2.9 comes with 150 new factory presets by Bluffmunkey, Aelyx Design and Gercek Dorman:

In-App-Store: SynthMaster 2.9 dramatically simplifies the workflow for purchasing, downloading and installing KV331 Audio products by introducing an ‘In-App-Store’ built right inside the plugin. Users can see the products that they’ve purchased, download and install the ones that are not on their system with the click of a button.

Internationalization (I18N): SynthMaster 2.9 brings support for UTF8 encoded file paths, so it’s now fully compatible with international users who use an operating system with a non-Ascii character set:

4. SynthMaster might crash when waveforms are selected from a waveform dropdown for a preset that’s saved before version 2.7
5. Some factory presets have missing waveforms
6. When number of waveforms is greater then 65535, SynthMaster might crash when selecting a wavefrom whose index is higher than 65535

20. SynthMaster saves empty favourite presets file
21. When length of directory names of imported waveforms/wavetables exceed a certain limit, SynthMaster One might crash

33. GUIEditor saves rendered images twice in the skin definition file
34. Browser lists in default skins (Gray, Blue, Orange, Red) are not multi-select
35. GUIEditor generates separate images for each skin resolution, which results in increased setup file size
36. Satyatunes Blue skin looks blurry at resolutions greater than 100%
37. Expansions downloads fail when CDN https/http redirection is used.
