[kv331]

We as KV331 Audio are proud to announce the v2.9.10 update for our SynthMaster 2 and SynthMaster 2 Player software synthesizers. This free update brings native support for Apple Silicon Macs, major usability improvements and critical bug fixes.


Our registered users can download this latest update from our website

The new features in this update are as follows:

1. Native Support for Apple Silicon Macs: SynthMaster 2 and SynthMaster 2 Player now run natively on Apple Silicon Macs, provided that the DAW is running natively.
2. New Factory Presets: 150 new factory presets by NatLife, Yuli Yola and Selcuk Ergen are now added to SynthMaster’s factory library, increasing the presets count to 2000.
3. New Skins: All SynthMaster 2 iOS skins are now working inside SynthMaster 2. That adds 4 new skins to SynthMaster 2. SynthMaster Player’s skins are updated as well, they’re now in line with SynthMaster.
4. Keyboard and Velocity Zones: Each layer in SynthMaster 2 has now its own keyboard and velocity zones, letting the users to play different layers on different keyboard/velocity ranges.
5. Pitch Quantization using Scales: The pitches of Oscillators or Modulators can now be quantized using a user selected scale. This lets the pitch to stay in tune within that specific scale.
6. Larger Popup Windows for Arps, Sequencers and Multisegmented Envelopes: Due to the small areas allocated for Arps, Sequencers or Multisegmented Envelopes, editing those modules were challenging at times. With the introduction of popup windows, users can now press the zoom button to bring up the larger edit window(s) which take up the entire plugin window.
7. Sequencer Edit Modes: With the introduction of the “Edit Mode”, it is easier to edit steps for a Sequencer:
o Step: This mode is used to add rectangular steps (initial and final values are the same)
o Up: This mode is used add upward steps (initial value is always zero)
o Down: This mode is used to add downward steps (final value is always zero)
o Freehand: This mode allows the user to draw freehand shapes

Hi Guys,

I'm evaluating the demo of Synthmaster 2.9 in FL Studio 20. The UI is broken! When I click on buttons they do not get redrawn correctly, some buttons, like "Settings", "Matrix", seem to be unresponsive, I click on it and nothing happens. Eventually after 10,15 seconds the panel redraws.
Even with the fantastic sale you guys are running, I cannot figure out how would I be able to use your plug-in.

Is there some trick that you guys know to make Synthmaster 2.9 useable in FL Studio?

Hi, we'll try to reproduce this issue (haven't observed it on FLStudio so far on our end though). Are you on Windows or MacOS?

Hi Gercek, I appreciate you guys looking into this! I will try to shoot something with my phone, later. In the meantime I made a discovery. FLStudio ships with 4 executables, 2 are in 32 bit, 2 are in 64 bit. Of each bit arch. one version is marked as "(scaled)".
If I run the executable called FL64.exe, all sorts of crazy things happen in the UI.
If I run the executable called FL64 (scaled).exe, then the Synthmaster UI seems to work as expected.

I am still running a bunch of tests, but definitely things tend to go wrong much easier when running FL64.exe. As a matter of facts, yesterday I also experienced a FL Studio crash, when I replaced a sample during playback.

I will report the issue to Image Line.

Hi,

Thank you very much for giving more details to reproduce this issue! 2 further questions:

1. What is your screen resolution? Is it native resolution or is Windows scaling everything?
2. Which SynthMaster skin are you using?

Thanks!

Hi,
my native screen resolution is 3840 x 2160 on a Asus laptop. There were all sorts of UI issues with many plug-ins, so I switched to 1920 x 1080. In both cases Scree Scale is set to 125%.
The skin is "Tranquil Blue XT".
