New layers can be created by adding a new layer or by duplicating an existing layer: Each layer can have up to 16 modules. The following modules are available in SynthMaster 3.0: Generator modules: Basic Oscillator
• Additive Oscillator
• Vector Oscillator
• Wavetable Oscillator
• VAnalog Oscillator
• Granular Oscillator and Modulator. Effect modules: Digital Filter
• VAnalog Filter
• State Variable Filter
• Ladder Filter
• Diode Ladder Filter
• Bite Filter
• Comb Filter
• Phaser Filter
• Formant Filter and Waveshaper. New modules can be created by adding a new module or by duplicating an existing module: Each layer can have up to 32 modulation sources. The following modulation sources are available in SynthMaster 3.0: ADSR Envelope
• Multistage Envelope LFO
• Step LFO
• Noise LFO Scaler New modulation sources can be created by adding a new source or by duplicating an existing source: The Routing tab provides a visual representation of the signal flow in the layer. Using the routing view
• modules can be added / removed / bypassed / activated / replaced with other modules
• connections can be created / removed between modules: Multiple View Types SynthMaster 3 provides 3 different types of views to edit layer parameters: Layer View: This view is used for editing a single layer's parameters: Track View: This view is used for editing keyboard zones
• velocity zones
• voicing
• unison
• arpeggiator and sequencer parameters of multiple layers: Mix View: This view is used for editing insert fx and fx send parameters of multiple layers: Granular Oscillator The new granular oscillator introduced with SynthMaster 3 applies granular synthesis on a single sample
• multisample or wavetable to generate its output. The oscillator features up to 16 "voices" with each having up to 32 grains
• resulting in up to 512 grains per oscillator: Each voice can have different settings with the help of spread parameters for volume
• detune
• position
• grain length and grain start time. Each grain can have randomization for volume
• detune
• position
• grain length
• grain start time and playback direction: VAnalog Oscillator The new VAnalog oscillator introduced with SynthMaster 3 generates its output in real-time using curve segments to mimic how analog circuits generate waveforms. The oscillator has 2 wave shapes that can morph in between and an additional sub oscillator which has its own wave shape. It comes with many built-in shapes from well known analog synths. Since it might generate aliasing noise when generating its output
• the oscillator has quality parameter to set the degree of oversampling: The oscillator features up to 16 "voices". Each voice can have different settings with the help of spread parameters for volume
• detune
• symmetry
• x morph and y morph: Waveshaper The new Waveshaper effect introduced with SynthMaster 3 comes with different types of distortion algorithms: Soft Tanh
• Soft ATan
• Heavy
• Fuzz
• Fold Sine
• Fold Tri
• Fold Round
• Rectify Full
• Rectify Half
• Clip and Bitcrush: There is also a Custom algorithm which allows users to draw their own distortion curve using curve segments. The distortion curve can be set to be unipolar (Symmetric) or bipolar (Asymmetric): Phaser Filter The new phaser filter introduced with SynthMaster 3 is similar to the phaser effect. However
• as being a polyphonic effect
• it operates per voice. It uses multiple allpass filters mixed with the input to create phasing effects: Formant Filter The new formant filter introduced with SynthMaster 3 uses a parallel bank of filters to create vowel sounds. Users can select the initial and final vowels (formants) and morph between them: Noise LFO The new Noise LFO modulation source introduced with SynthMaster 3 can be used to generate sample and hold noise. The LFO generates different types of noises (white
• pink
• brown
• violet
• blue)
• which are sampled and held
• bit reduced
• and then passed through an attack/decay envelope follower: Scaler The Keyscaler modulation source in SynthMaster 2 is vastly improved in SynthMaster 3. It is now called Scaler
• as users can select another modulation source as its input (instead of just Keytrack) and use the scaler as a waveshaper for its input: Arpeggiator / Sequencer Each Layer in SynthMaster 3 has a separate arpeggiator and sequencer. The MIDI input signal first goes through the sequencer followed by the arpeggiator. Each step in an arpeggiator / sequencer can have random values for trigger
• hold and slide parameters. The sequencer has a larger edit window to make editing sequencer patterns easier: Each layer has its own MIDI output channel so that users can route the MIDI generated by the Arpeggiator / Sequencer to different tracks in their DAW: Preset Browser SynthMaster 3 features an intuitive preset browser with advanced search features. Presets can be filtered by Product
• Author
• Bank
• Instrument Type
• Attributes
• Styles (Genres) and Preset name: SynthMaster 3 is backwards compatible with SynthMaster One and SynthMaster 2. If those products are installed and authorized on the user’s system
• SynthMaster 3 shows the presets for those products
• and can load those presets as entire presets or into layers: SynthMaster 3 provides instant previews for presets that have NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) previews prepared. This allows the presets to be previewed without loading. Presets that have previews have a play icon next to their name. By moving the mouse over the play icon
• the preview can be listened to: Waveform Editor SynthMaster 3 comes with a comprehensive Waveform Editor to create single cycle waveforms Single cycle waveforms can be created in 2 different ways: 1. Using curve segments. The segments can be tied together or be disconnected 2. By free hand drawing. In this mode
• spectrum of the waveform can be edited as well Wavetable Editor SynthMaster 3 comes with a comprehensive Wavetable Editor to create wavetables. Wavetables can be created using single cycle waveforms or sample/wavetable files: 7 types of wavetable effects are available to further sculpt the wavetable: Spectral Filter
• Waveshaper
• Modulator
• Bender
• Shifter
• LoFi and Sync.  The generated wavetable can be saved in SynthMaster 3's own format
• or exported in WAV format to be used in other wavetable synths. The number of exported frames can be set between 2-256: Multi-Sample Editor SynthMaster 3 comes with a comprehensive Multi-Sample Editor to create multi samples.  Multi-samples can be created easily by dragging and dropping wav/aiff sample files. In automatic import mode
• root notes of the files are read from file name / header: The multi-samples can be exported in SFZ format
• which is a well documented format to store multi-sample related data.
