The SynthMaster software synthesizer features various synthesis methods, including VA, additive, wavetable, wave scanning, phase modulation, frequency modulation, pulse width modulation, ring modulation, amplitude modulation, physical modeling, and SFZ sample playback synthesis. With its multi-synthesis oscillators, digital/analog-modeled filters, flexible effects routing with 11 high-quality effect types, and massive modulation architecture featuring 95 separate modulation sources and over 650 modulation destinations, SynthMaster is a must-have for all synthesizer enthusiasts!

OSCILLATORS

Stereo oscillators with unison/voice stacking: SynthMaster oscillators have a stereo output. Using the "voices," "voice mix," "detune curve," "detune spread," "pan," "tone spread," and "phase spread" parameters, each basic/wavetable oscillator can generate a rich "supersaw" sound.

BASIC OSCILLATORS

SynthMaster's basic oscillators can synthesize many different types of waveforms: sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse, noise, single-cycle waveforms, and multi-sampled WAV/AIFF defined in SFZ files.

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
• Multi-sampled WAV/AIFF defined in SFZ files

WAVETABLE OSCILLATORS

A "wavetable" oscillator is similar to a basic oscillator, except that the waveform can be scanned (interpolated) through up to 256 different waveform shapes. The waveform position can be adjusted using the "wave index" parameter. As of version 2.9, SynthMaster now supports loading wavetables from wave files!

• Contains many wavetables.
• You can import your own wavetables by dragging and dropping

EFFECTS

Extensive effects set: SynthMaster features 11 different types of effects: 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 into any layer insert or into either of the 2 global effects bus inserts.

Before/Inside/After filter distortion

A distortion stage can be inserted before, after, or even inside the filters. For analog filters, the distortion is applied to each of the 4 filter stages in "inside" mode.

MASSIVE MODULATION ARCHITECTURE

SynthMaster has hundreds of modulation destinations and 48 modulation sources, including ADSR envelopes, 2D envelopes, multi-stage envelopes, LFOs, KeyScalers, easy parameters, vocoder bands, MIDI velocity, aftertouch, Pitch Bend, and MIDI CC. The modulation matrix, which has 64 available slots, also features visual filtering so that the destinations of a specific source or the sources of a specific destination can be filtered and displayed in the user interface.

• ADSR Envelopes
• 2D Envelopes
• Multi-stage Envelopes
• LFOs
• KeyScalers
• Vocoder Bands
• MIDI Velocity
• Aftertouch
• Pitch Bend and MIDI CC

ADDITIVE AND VECTOR OSCILLATORS

An "additive" oscillator is actually 8 "basic" oscillators working together. Each "basic" oscillator has its own detune, tone, phase/pulse width/algorithm parameter, frequency, waveform type, and algorithm parameters.

A "Vector" oscillator consists of 4 "basic" oscillators, mixed in different proportions. The mix proportions are determined by 2 orthogonal parameters in 2 dimensions: "X Index" and "Y Index".
