SynthMaster 2 - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

KV331 Audio is proud to announce the availability of their award winning software synthesizer SynthMaster 2.9 on iOS platform. As being the first app developed using KV331 Audio’s new cross-platform UI framework, SynthMaster 2 runs as a standalone app or AUv3 plugin on iPads with iOS 11 and above.

SynthMaster 2 supports native resolutions of various iPad devices. User interfaces are provided for 9.7, 11 and 12.9 inch iPads in 4 different skins (Blue, White, Dark, Proto). Separate interfaces are provided for the AudioUnit plugin as well.

SynthMaster 2 comes with 1000 factory presets designed by world class sound designers such as BigTone, Nori Ubukata, NatLife and Yuli Yolo. Thanks to the comprehensive preset browsing features, users can easily filter presets by author name, bank name, instrument type or preset name and find the sounds that they are looking for.

There’s also an IAP Shop, which lets users purchase additional sounds:

1. "Desktop Presets Upgrade": This IAP adds all factory presets in SynthMaster 2.9, increasing the total preset count to 2000.
2. "All Expansions Bundle": This IAP adds all current 38 SynthMaster preset expansion banks.

Sound Engine:

At the heart of SynthMaster 2’s powerful sound engine lies its oscillators, modulators, and filters.

Oscillators:

The oscillators can operate in 4 different modes to generate sound:

1. In Basic mode, the oscillator plays single cycle waveforms or samples. With the Oscillator Unison turned on, up to 8 voices per oscillator can be played.
2. In Additive mode, 8 Basic oscillators can be stacked up to create richer tones.
3. In Wavetable mode, the oscillator can play wavetables with up to 256 frames.
4. In Vector mode, 4 Basic oscillators are mixed in 2 dimensions.

Modulators:

Modulators are simply basic oscillators that can be added to other oscillators or modulate other oscillators’ or modulators’ phases. By connecting modulators to other oscillators or modulators, complex FM tones can be synthesized.

Importing Wave Files into SynthMaster:

While designing sounds, users can easily import wave files into SynthMaster 2. SynthMaster 2 can categorize those files into waveforms, wavetables or multi samples and import them accordingly.

Filters:

Once the sound is generated by the oscillators it goes through SynthMaster’s filters, which can operate in 6 different categories: Digital, VAnalog, Ladder, Diode Ladder, State Variable and Bite.

Custom distortion can be applied before or after the filters as well.

Modulation Architecture:

SynthMaster 2 features a comprehensive modulation architecture with a wide range of modulation sources:

1. MIDI controls
2. Macros controls
3. 4 ADSR envelopes per layer
4. 4 Multisegmented envelopes per payer
5. 4 LFOs per layer
6. 4 Sequencers per layer
7. 4 Keyscalers per layer

There’s real-time visual feedback that lets users see how modulation sources and targets are changing when a note is being played. This is extremely helpful when designing sounds with SynthMaster 2.

New modulations can be created easily by dragging and dropping a modulation source onto a knob or slider control.

Users can easily see which controls are modulated by a modulation source by clicking on that source. Controls that are being modulated by that source will display modulation amounts. By long pressing a control, the modulation amount can be edited without the need to go through the mod matrix.

Arp/Sequencer:

SynthMaster features a comprehensive arpeggiator / sequencer with 32 steps. Users can easily create sequences by recording steps one by one.

Effects:

Each of the 2 layers in SynthMaster has 5 insert effect slots. 13 different types of effects can be instantiated in any of those slots. There are also 2 global effect send busses which can be used to create more complex effect routings.

Okisch

The synth is very nice but it crashes to often, so it’s not useful for me.

Ist doch super

One of the best

Dieser Synth gehört für mich zu den Top Synths. Man muss natürlich auch erst mal verstehen wie so ein Synth funktioniert, bevor man als Rezension schreibt, er wäre nicht intuitiv oder überladen. Das sind aber auch die Gleichen, die Cubasis und Logic Pro voll geil finden.

Ist doch super

Ich bin eigentlich sofort mit dem Synth zurechtgekommen. Der Grafik ist gut, man kann alles gut lesen auf dem 12 er Bildschirm und die Grafik ist ansprechend. Der Sound ist völlig ok, man kann auch gut eigene Presets aufbauen. Problem: Scala Files lassen sich nicht laden. Ich hatte den Support angeschrieben und sie haben die Absicht, den Bug in einem Update zu beseitigen.

Fürchterliche Sucherei

Anti-intuitiv programmierte App. Ewiges Suchen, keine Erklärungen, zumindest finde ich keine.

One ist gut hab ich schon lange, der 2 hat langweilige gleiche Klänge, Fehlkauf..2023

Fehlkauf alle Klänge gleich langweilig, geldgierige Macher.. Im Browser sind oft mehrere Klänge angewählt absoluter Murks.. gehen auch nicht weg, man muss hin und her fummeln..

Besser geht nicht

iOS Update und alles ist perfekt . Jetzt läuft alles nach Wunsch .👍🎇

Modulation verwirrend

Ich benutze ihnerst seit einem Tag. Leider ist er überfrachtet und nicht intuitiv zu bedienen. Der Synth hat jede Menge Potential, und quillt über vor Modulationsquellen. Diese müssen aber erst mal gefunden werden . Es verstecken sich mehrere Hüllkurven , die auf verschiedene Ziele geroutet werden können. Aber welche ? Welche ADSR moduliert grad meinen Filter ? Es gilt, sich an jedem Regler durch mehrere Ebenen zu fummeln, um das herauszufinden. …eine Modulationsmatrix wäre besser gewesen. der kleinen Oberfläche zuliebe - etwas weniger Schnickschnack, da sieht ja eh keiner durch.

Not yet reliable.

Great synth, but when I move the mod wheel on any of my controller keyboards it causes a lot of the parameters that are assigned to the wheel not to return to their starting position. If there is a solution, please say so if not please update so I can give better rating. thanks!

One of the best synths for iOS!

Great synth with a lot of potential for sound creation. I had a few problems with crackles in the initial release. The developer successfully fixed this problem and now it's a real pleasure to work with this synth! Deserves five stars for the current version.
