SynthMaster 3 Player iOS released
 
Back in May we announced the release of SynthMaster 3 Player iOS on the AppStore, as a FREE synth app and also AUv3 plugin! 

If you have an iPhone or iPad, go ahead and download it now on your iPhone / iPad now! After you install the app, make sure you register with your existing KV331 Audio account so that you can download your previous in app purchases for SynthMaster Player iOS / SynthMaster One iOS / SynthMaster 2 iOS products on your mobile device(s). 
 
IMPORTANT NOTICE for SynthMaster Player iOS users:  Our older app SynthMaster Player iOS is now obsolete, it is replaced by SynthMaster 3 Player iOS. We will not update SynthMaster Player iOS anymore. So please make sure you download SynthMaster 3 Player iOS now!
 
 
What is SynthMaster 3 Player iOS?
 
SynthMaster 3 Player iOS is a stripped down version of SynthMaster 3 tailored towards users who prefer tweaking existing presets over designing sounds from scratch. It is a free app on the AppStore that ships with 200 presets. Once the user completes registration, the number of free presets increases to 500. Our registered users can register with their KV331 Audio accounts and download their existing desktop preset banks / past in app purchases on to their iOS devices (Desktop preset bank downloads require "Unlock Desktop Features and Content" in app purchase for users who don't have a license for our Everything Bundle or SynthMaster 3 or SynthMaster 3 Player products)
 
More than a ROMpler
 
SynthMaster 3 Player iOS is identical to SynthMaster 3 except the limited editing features: While layer modules and modulation sources are not accesible, all other layer sections such as layer voicing, unison, keyboard zones, velocity zones, arpeggiator, sequencer and insert FX can be edited by the user.
 
 
Multi-Layered Architecture
 
Each SynthMaster 3 Player iOS instance can have up to 16 layers. Users can add new layers by loading existing presets into layers through the preset browser:
 
 
In App Purchase Store
 
SynthMaster 3 Player iOS features a Shop page where all KV331 Audio products are displayed with their individual price and sale details. Users can easily purchase new or upgrade licenses through the Shop page:
 
 
Available as an AUv3 Plugin
 
SynthMaster 3 Player iOS is not only available as a standalone app, but also as an AUv3 plugin running under DAWs like Cubasis, GarageBand, Logic Pro and AUM! With Logic Pro, you can even work cross platform: Edit a project on your iPad and then on your Mac, this is entirely possible now with SynthMaster 3 Player iOS!
 
 
Available on iPhone as well!
 
SynthMaster 3 Player iOS is not only available on the iPad, but also on the iPhone, both as a standalone app and also AUv3 plugin! This means that the entire SynthMaster presets library is at your fingertips:
 
 
 
Thank you very much for supporting the development of our products! and please spread the news about SynthMaster 3 Player iOS, we really really need that publicity!
 
 
SynthMaster 3 and SynthMaster 3 Player updated to version 3.4.9
 
We are recently announced another major update for SynthMaster 3 & SynthMaster 3 Player (desktop): Both are now updated to version 3.4.9 with exciting new features and critical bug fixes
 
HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE
Our registered users can download this update by checking for updates inside the plugin window:
 
 
If you are not a registered user yet, you can download the latest demos from our web site
 
NEW FEATURES
 
Undo for Loading Presets
 
You can now undo the last preset load to revert back to the previous preset settings. Pressed the 'RNDM' button by mistake for instance? No problem, click on the 'Undo' button and your last edit is back :)
 
 
Recent Preset History
 
SynthMaster 3 now remembers the last 20 presets you recently browsed:
 
 
Color Coded Piano Keyboard
 
The piano keyboard now displays keys with different colors: Blue for drum kit pattern, Red for multisamples, Gray for disabled. This way, you would know if a preset contains multisamples or drum kit patterns.
 
 
Bundle Upgrades on the Shop Page
 
You can now upgrade to our bundle products with a special upgrade price based on your past purchase history. For instance, if you had purchased half of a bundle's contents before, your upgrade price would be half of the current price of that bundle:
 
 
The following products are eligible for this upgrade:
  • SynthMaster Everything Bundle (iOS & Desktop)
  • SynthMaster Producer Bundle (iOS & Desktop)
  • SynthMaster 3 Expansions Bundle (iOS & Desktop)
  • SynthMaster 2 Expansions Bundle (iOS & Desktop)
  • SynthMaster One Expansions Bundle (iOS & Desktop)
Add Samples as Regions
 
You can now easily add samples as regions to a multisample by selecting from the list of samples that reside under the multisample's samples folder. This is especially useful if you only start off with importing a couple of samples in a multisample, but the samples folder contains much more files:
 
 
Tooltips for Modulation Targets
 
Want to see modulation targets of a modulation source without clicking on the source? That's possible now with our v3.4.9 update: Hover the mouse over a modulation source, and all modulation targets of that source are displayed on the tooltip window:
 
 
Tooltips for Modulation Sources
 
Want to see modulation sources for a knob/slider without clicking on that control? That's possible now with our v3.4.9 update: Hover the mouse over a knob/slider, and all modulation sources for that control are now displayed on the tooltip window.
 
 
Interoperability between MacOS and iOS
 
As you know we recently released SynthMaster 3 Player iOS Beta version. So, if you saved any projects with Logic Pro iOS that use SynthMaster 3 Player AUv3, Logic Pro Mac can now open those projects, with all preset and automation data restored:
 
 
BUG FIXES
This update also has critical bug fixes, so we urge all of our users to download and install the update:
  1. Preset preview playback calculation happens in real-time audio thread, causing serious dropouts
  2. Velocity glide doesn't work correctly for mono legato layers
  3. SynthMaster 2 presets older than version 2.7 sound different compared to SynthMaster 2
  4. When a layer is duplicated, the name of the new layer is not updated, it stays the same as the source layer
  5. When a modulation source is deleted, the first modulation source is selected, but the mod matrix is not refreshed to show targets for that source.
  6. When loading SynthMaster 2 presets, unused modulation sources should be removed
  7. Removing the last module in the routing view might crash SynthMaster 3
  8. Pressing Previos button to move to the previous preset might incorrectly move to the end of the presets list
  9. Deleting a modulation source and then undoing that edit doesn't restore the previous state correctly
  10. After sample editor is closed, piano view should be refreshed
  11. Changing a sample for a region doesn't work properly
  12. SynthMaster 3 might crash if license key file doesn't exist
  13. SynthMaster 3 standalone resets default preset to blank
  14. SynthMaster 3 doesn't refresh license key file when a new license is added to user account
  15. When entering filter cutoff/resonance values by text, the frequency/resonance values are displayed incorrectly
  16. SynthMaster 3 might crash when converting samples to wavetables
  17. SynthMaster 3 VST3 might generate stuck notes when run inside FL Studio
  18. When a dialog window is moved around the screen, it should not go out of screen.
  19. SynthMaster doesn't read sample paths correctly from SFZ files when there are relative paths to parent directory
