Beast of a Soft Synth
Ready for a beast of a soft synth? KV331 Audio's SynthMaster does it all: Virtual Analog, Additive, Wavetable, Wavescanning, Phase Modulation, Frequency Modulation, Pulse Width Modulation, Ring Modulation, Amplitude Modulation, Physical Modeling, and SFZ Sample Playback synthesis. Factor in its dual layers, multi-mode oscillators, analog modeled and digital filters, flexible effects routing with 11 types of studio-grade effects, massive modulation architecture with 95 modulation sources and over 650 targets, and gentle pricetag, and you've got your new go-to software synthesizer. KV331 Audio calls the SynthMaster semi-modular. Here at Sweetwater, we call it amazing!

KV331 Audio SynthMaster is semi-modular, which means you be up and running with killer sounds instantly, but you can also patch up anything you can dream up. The architecture is brilliant. For each instance of KV331 Audio SynthMaster, you've got two layers, followed by two global effects send busses. Each layer sports dual oscillators, an arpeggiator, four modulators, two filters, four ASDR envelopes, two multistage envelopes, two 2D envelopes, two LFOs, and four keyscalers. Using the modulators, you can modulate frequency, phase, amplitude, or pulse width of the oscillators or any other modulators at audio rate.
Extensive mod matrixThe KV331 Audio SynthMaster gives you a massive modulation matrix with more over 650 modulation targets and 95 sources you can plug into 64 available slots. This includes ADSR Envelopes, 2D Envelopes, Multistage Envelopes, LFOs, KeyScalers, Easy Parameters, Vocoder Bands, MIDI Velocity, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, and MIDI CC. If that's not enough, you can specify up to three modulation sources for each modulation target. The modulation matrix also features visual filtering, which lets you filter - and see on the user interface - targets for a specific source (and vice versa).
