It has multiple algorithms based on classic filter circuits from famous machines as well as the usual selections of lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and more.

SynthMaster 2 has two multimode filters which can be run in serial or parallel. Specific parameters change depending on the type selected. Click on the Type button to select the one you want. The oscillator section features multiple oscillator types, from basic waveforms to wavetables to more esoteric things like additive synthesis. Note that SynthMaster 2 has two separate layers. Let’s look at each of these sections in turn. We’ll be making an acid line today so we’ll be keeping things simple with a single oscillator, filter, ADSR envelope, and some effects, plus the arpeggiator to sequence it. There’s even a handy routing guide with clickable modules to show you the signal path. It’s rather deep so we don’t have time to go into everything here but while it may look complex, the layout is fairly straightforward. SynthMaster 2 is a modern, all-in-one synth plugin with a number of different kinds of oscillators, filter types, envelopes, LFOs, effects, a programmable arpeggiator, and more.

OCTAVE CAT SKIN

Just as there are many ways to skin a cat, there are many ways to brew up an acid bassline. However, don’t feel like you have to confine yourself to the TB or a TB emulation for acid techno. And why should it? Born from Roland’s TB-303 bassline synth and used and abused by countless house and techno producers over the decades, it has a distinctive, hair-raising power that works a treat on the dancefloor. We use it to run an acid techno bassline.Īcid: it’s the sound that won’t quit. The SynthMaster 2 is not a new plugin but evolved over many years into a huge jack of all trades capable of handling analogue emulation, wave scanning and vector synthesis, phase modulation, additive synthesis, sample playback and FM. We use KV331 Audio’s ambitiously named SynthMaster 2 to create an unorthodox acid bassline complete with effects – and all within the single plugin.
