KV331 Audio’s SynthMaster 2 Player, a rompler with 2000 factory presets, is now available for free throughout December 2024 instead of the usual asking price of $29.
SynthMaster 2 Player is a Windows (32/64-bit) and macOS (64-bit only) release for VST, AAX, and AU (macOS only).
The instrument is also available as an AU format iOS instrument, although when I searched it up on the App Store, it was the old SynthMaster Player, not SynthMaster 2 Player.
SynthMaster 2 Player is the little bro of SynthMaster 2 ($49, reduced from $129), and presents a simplified instrument with limited editing capabilities.
The Player version is made to leverage the presets, with some editing capabilities, rather than presenting the deeper customization and sound design features of SynthMaster 2.
SynthMaster 2 Player allows users to tweak 12 parameters or “the bypass states of layer/global effects assigned for each preset by the sound designer.”
You can link these parameters to MIDI controllers with the MIDI Learn feature.
The plugin also offers micro-tuning via Scala tuning support, so you can edit the tuning on each preset or edit it globally with a Scala tuning file.
It’s easy to get around the 2000 presets with the preset browser, which offers different search criteria for instrument type, preset author, preset attributes, and music style.
KV331 Audio has provided two skins with different color variations, and you can open up the interface editor if you want to customize the skins or create your own custom interfaces.
There’s a big old list of audio demos featured on a SoundCloud player embedded on the product page for the synth.
The demos do a great job of showing off the factory sounds available from the instrument, and there are certainly a lot of different tones on tap that cover a range of genres and moods.
Note that there is the regular SynthMaster 2 Player ($29, now free) and a permanently free version with only 550 factory presets.
Currently, users can get the $29 Player version for free for either Windows or macOS via a single click from the product page, and we always dig a simple download process like that here on BPB.
We all know bedroom producers can never have enough synths in their toolbox, so this is certainly a welcome early Xmas gift from the fine folks at KV331 Audio.
