New Scales:

SynthMaster One v1.3 comes with rich scale library, ranging from 5 tone equal tempered to 12 tone alternate-tuning scales

Cloud based cross-platform data syncronization:

With the new cloud features, users can now synchronize their SynthMaster One related data (presets, waveforms, samples, favourites, midi programs) on multiple machines/platforms and share their presets with other SynthMaster One users

New Envelope Types:

SynthMaster One comes with 3 new envelope types: Digital, Profat and Oobee. Digital is the default algorithm in SynthMaster, whereas Profat and Oobee are new algorithms modelled after two well-known analog synthesizers

Improved microtuning features:

Users can now set the keyboard mapping of the current scale to either “fill octave” or “consecutive”. The piano display highlights the notes of the scale. Under settings tab, the scale root note and A4 reference frequency can be adjusted

Custom preset attributes/styles:

Users can now add custom attributes or styles for the presets they create.

Editing MIDI Banks and Programs:

Users can now edit MIDI Bank/Program assignments by launching the “MIDI Banks and Programs” dialog

Filtering Presets by Last Modified Date:

Users can now filter presets by their last modification date. 4 filters are provided: 1. Show All, 2. Last 24 hours, 3. Last 7 days, 4. Last 30 days

Features:

Oscillators

Stereo Oscillators with Unison/Voice Stacking: Oscillators in SynthMaster have stereo output. Using the "voices", "voices mix", "detune curve", "detune spread", "pan stread", "tone spread" and "phase spread" parameters, each basic/wavetable oscillator can generate a rich "supersaw" type sound.

Basic Oscillators

Basic oscillators in SynthMaster One are capable of synthesizing many different types of waveforms: Sine, Square, Triangle, Sawtooth, Pulse, Noise, single cycle waveforms. Each oscillator comes with 17 different algorithms in the following categories: Spectral (LP, HP, LS, HS, BP, BS), Bend (Bend+, Bend-, Bend+/-), Sync (Rect Window, Half Cos Window, Cos Window, Tri Window, Saw Window), Pulse (Pulse1, Pulse2) and Quantize.

• Sine, Square, Triangle, Sawtooth, Pulse, Noise
• Single cycle waveforms

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.

Wavetable Synthesis

SynthMaster One implements true wavetable synthesis which opens up new possibilities for sound design. You can import wave files that contain wavetables into SynthMaster One and use them in your projects. SynthMaster One comes with a rich wavetable library and you can extend that by placing wavetables under the Waveforms folder of SynthMaster One.

• Contains many wavetables
• You can import your own wavetables by drag and drop

Semi Modular Architecture

For each SynthMaster One instance, there are 2 oscillators with 2 sub oscillators, 2 Filters, 4 ADSR Envelopes, 2 LFOs, a powerful 16 step arpeggiator/sequencer and also 11 different efffects 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

• 2 oscillators
• 2 sub oscillators
• 2 Filters
• 4 ADSR Envelopes
• 2 LFOs
• Sequencer/arpeggiator with 16 steps

Filters

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

Filter Types

• Ladder: Low 12, Low 24, High 12, High 24, Band Pass, Band Stop
• Diode Ladder: Low pass 24
• State Variable: Low 12, High 12, Band Pass, Band Stop
• Bite: Low 12, High 6

Effects

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

11 types of effects

Distortion, LoFi, Ensemble, Phaser, 6 Band EQ, Compressor, Vocoder, Delay, Chorus, Tremolo, Reverb.

Flexible Effects Routing

Each of the 11 effect types can be inserted on any layer insert or on any of the 2 global effect bus inserts.

Other Features

Some other features of the SynthMaster One can be listed as follows.

32 step Sequencer/Arpeggiator

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. Each of the 16 steps of the arpeggiator has its own Velocity, Note Number, Note Length, Slide and Hold parameters.

Microtuning

SynthMaster supports Scala tuning, so tuning can be set either for each preset or globally by loading from a Scala tuning file.

Preset Browser

SynthMaster features a comprehensive preset browser with separate search criteria’s for instrument type, preset attributes, music style or preset author.

Importing MIDI patterns as Arpeggiator Sequence

Monophonic or even polyphonic (chord) MIDI patterns can be imported into the arpeggiators in SynthMaster by just drag and drop of the MIDI file onto the arpeggiator view on the plugin window.
