Description

SynthMaster One iOS is KV331 Audio's first full blown universal synth app on iOS platform. It's a powerful wavetable synth with an intuitive workflow. With its simple layout, rich wavetable/waveform content and inspiring factory presets library, designing new sounds with SynthMaster One iOS is a joy.

SynthMaster One iOS is feature wise identical to the desktop version except the following:

* 16 voice polyphony (32 for the desktop version)
* Comes with 650 presets (1250 for the desktop version)

FEATURES

* Universal App: SynthMaster One is now a universal standalone/AUv3 synth app running on iPhone 7 and above.

* 650 Factory Presets: SynthMaster One iOS comes with inspiring factory presets from a world class team of sound designers: Arksun, Aiyn Zahev, BigTone Studios, Brian Transeau, Bluffmunkey, Bulent Biyikoglu, Gercek Dorman, Dejavu Sound, Fragment Audio, Kurt Ader, Mirko Ruta, Nori Ubukata, Rob Lee, Ufuk Kevser, Selcuk Ergen, The Machine, Vandalism Sound, Venus Theory, Vorpalsound and Xenos Soundworks

* AUv3: SynthMaster One iOS supports AudioUnits V3, allowing multiple instances to run under supporting DAW apps like GarageBand, Cubasis or Beat Maker.

* Files App Integration: Easily import/export presets, waveforms or scales using the common file browser UI (requires iOS 11+).

* Real-time Modulation Feedback: See in real-time how modulation sources and targets change. This is a very helpful feature when designing sounds!

* Cross Platform Cloud Synchronization: Easily synchronize your SynthMaster One related data across multiple platforms (Windows, MacOS, iPad, iPhone)

* Semi-Modular Architecture: For each SynthMaster One instance, there are 2 oscillators with 2 sub oscillators, 2 Filters, 4 ADSR Envelopes, 3 LFOs, a powerful 16 step arpeggiator/sequencer and also 11 different effects that can be inserted on to 6 FX insert slots. The sub oscillators can be connected to the oscillators in 5 different modes which let you use it as a regular sub oscillator or do complex modulations such as ring modulation, amplitude modulation, phase modulation or frequency modulation.

* 32 Step Arpeggiator/Sequencer: The arpeggiator in SynthMaster One features classic arpeggiator modes such as Up, Down, UpDown, DownUp, UpDown2, DownUp2, AsPlayed as well as Sequence, Chord and Arpeggiate modes.

* Wavetable Synthesis: SynthMaster One implements true wavetable synthesis which opens up new possibilities for sound design. It comes with a rich content library with hundreds of waveforms and wavetables.

* Stereo Oscillators with up to 16 voices Unison: Each of the 2 oscillators in SynthMaster One have stereo output, and can have up to 16 voices "unison". Using the "voices", "voices mix", "detune curve", "detune spread", "pan stread", "tone spread" and "phase spread" parameters, each oscillator can generate a rich "supersaw" type sound.

* Zero Delay Feedback Filters: All of the 4 filter categories in SynthMaster One are developed using the zero delay feedback filter technology. With advanced filter parameters like input gain, drive, acid, filter nonlinearities and up to 4 times oversampling you can get that "analog" sound from the filters!

* Rich Set of Effects: SynthMaster One features 11 different effect types: Distortion, LoFi, Ensemble, Phaser, 6 Band EQ, Compressor, Vocoder, Delay, Chorus, Tremolo, Reverb.

* Microtuning: SynthMaster One supports Scala tuning, so tuning can be set either for each preset or globally by loading from a Scala tuning file. SynthMaster One comes with 300+ scales ranging from 5 note equal tempered scales to 12 note alternate tuning scales.

* Preset Browser: SynthMaster One features a comprehensive preset browser with separate search criterias for instrument type, preset attributes, music style or preset author.

IMPORT/EXPORT MIDI MAPPINGS 👎👎👎

Midimania on

The Menu/Import/Export Midi Mappings does not work at all! Every single parameter that is assigned to a control has to be manually assigned every time the app is launched because ALL Midi Learn Mappings are instantly lost when closing the app, SM1 only exports a blank document. 25th FEB This app has a brilliant sound but unfortunately it is so unreliable when it comes to Midi Learn….it constantly forgets what it has learned, same as SM2. Money not well spent I’m afraid ☹️ 9th Nov. SYNTHMASTER 1 & 2 iOS are the best synths ever, grab it whilst it is free until end of November, I can assure you you won’t regret it. I’ve had this app nearly 2 years and there is still loads of brilliant features I haven’t even looked at yet 👌no chance of ever being bored with SYNTHMASTER. 1 Year ago. Synthmaster One is one of my main synths that is used in all my Cubasis3 projects, it has many beautiful sounding lead and pad presets. I use many Au3 instances of both SMO & SM2 on my iPad Air 4 with no problems. I hope fadeamiga manages to sort out his sound glitch problem, may I suggest turning off “Background Audio” in SMO Settings, that worked for me, I almost returned my iPad thinking it was faulty!

Sounds great but unreliable!

Won’t load anymore

Shane dB on

I thought this was great. But now it won’t load on iPad or iPhone at all. Does not work anymore.

Have not fixed waveshaper bug since beta

d-flux on

One of the best features of SynthMaster is the ability to change the waveshaper curve to get different tones from the synth, this has never worked despite numerous support requests.

Overall really nice synth but

Stanleytrader27 on

PLEASE sort out the UI response on parameters that have modulation applied to them as it makes programming, or manually automating this thing a nightmare, basically unusable in that regard. I’ve messaged about this and got zero response. What do I mean? Let’s say you have an LFO or an envelope routed to a knob, say the filter cutoff, you set how much modulation in the mod matrix. The amount of mod depth is shown in the known. So far so good. Now go and move the knob. 8/10 instead of moving the knob you’ll be grabbing the mod amount and changing that, try again, still the mod amount, try again, oh you got the filter this time great, but the mod amount is now wrong etc. Now try to alter a parameter while you have a sequence playing, impossible it just mucks the sound up. Apart from that, great wavetable synth, sounds good, filters are mostly good, there’s some stepping going on even if using oversampling but I can live with that flexible oscilllators, flexible mod matrix, decent FX but because of the UI issue Nave, even though not AUV3 is still my go to wavetable synth on iOS.

Practically not usable air 4th

fadeamiga on

On iPad Air 4th this synth is not usable at all , I’m using AUM and just one instance of SynthMaster is making glitches every few seconds and cpu spikes over 1000 % usage which is abnormal … I don’t know is it problem with SynthMaster or AUM but I’m very disappointed and I wish to get my money back 😔

Avoid if you have same iPad as me

Graspee on

Sound glitches on 12.9 iPad Pro 2021. Devs show no interest in fixing.

One of the best

69reasons on

Unbelievable that I got this for free. That being said I would have gladly paid for it. SynthMaster is a keeper for sure and is a very capable all rounder. Since getting this I’ve never even considered removing from my iPad, only what I consider to be the best of the best stays and this is definitely one of them.

First class

ivorytrev on

This is a fantastic app , when I first started playing around with it I simply could not get it tuned to proper tuning as it played a semi tone sharp but then I went into settings and put the sample rate up to 48000 and hey presto it’s in tune with my other gear only problem is you have to do it each time you do a new launch of it but there’s prob a way around that and I just haven’t discovered it yet , but I have to say the sounds are amazing and the possibilities seem endless and believe me for the money it’s mind blowing as there's other apps that are 5 time’s the price and don’t come near it in quality , thank’s to the SynthMaster one team for a fantastic app and keep up the great work

Hands down best synth for the iPad

Marcolwall on

Can’t rate this highly enough. Unfathomable amount of presets, slick and stable. Probably would have spent £1000’s if this was hardware. Developers keep this up to date and offer plenty of new content to keep it fresh. Only scratching the surface by preset tweaking but in the right hands this could be a one stop shop for all your synth needs.
