KV331 Audio updates SynthMaster and SythMaster Player to v2.9.6

10th January 2018

KV331 Audio has announced the release of the version 2.9.6 update for their software synthesizers SynthMaster and SynthMaster Player.

This update brings the following new features to SynthMaster Player:

New Factory Presets: SynthMaster Player 2.9 comes with 150 new factory presets by Bluffmunkey, Aelyx Design and Gercek Dorman:
In-App-Store: SynthMaster Player 2.9 dramatically simplifies the workflow for purchasing, downloading and installing KV331 Audio products by introducing an 'In-App-Store' built right inside the plugin. Users can see the products that they've purchased, download and install the ones that are not on their system with the click of a button.
Internationalization (I18N): SynthMaster Player 2.9 brings support for UTF8 encoded file paths, so it's now fully compatible with international users who use an operating system with a non-ASCII character set.

There are also critical fixes for both SynthMaster and SynthMaster Player:

License key file dialog doesn't show up and factory presets list is empty when user upgrades from SynthMaster Player Free to SynthMaster Player.
SynthMaster might crash when warning messages are generated after loading a preset.
SynthMaster crashes when a wavetable with more than 256 waveforms is imported.
When user drags and drops a modulation source from the modulation sources tab, SynthMaster might crash.
When a preset is initialized, drag and drop of a modulation source from the modulation sources tab results in an empty modulation matrix entry.
SynthMaster might crash when the mod matrix source filter is changed.
Modulation of amount parameter of LoFi effect causes zipper noise.
Modulation of amount parameter of Distortion effect causes zipper noise.
Modulation of amount parameter of Echo effect causes zipper noise.
Modulation of amount parameter of Chorus effect causes zipper noise.
When a new modulation matrix entry is created, SynthMaster incorrectly creates an additional entry.
Modulation tab header requires two clicks to display modulation sources menu for a different category.
When the oscillator algorithm is changed from sample playback to wavetable, the oscillator doesn't play the wavetable correctly.
Some text labels are clipped when being displayed.
SynthMaster fails to read some factory waveforms/wavetables when the operating system doesn't return files and folders in sorted order.
Edited factory presets.
Edited factory skins.
