Hot on the heels of the “yet another wavetable VST” discussion, KV331 has released Synthmaster 3, the latest version of their “workstation” VST. Well, I tried it so you don’t have to, and I’ll briefly share my opinion. Could it displace my go-tos, Vital, Pigments, Diva, or instruments from NI Komplete?
Superbooth25 dates are announced. Who’s going? I’ve got the dates on the calendar, but would I rather go to Germany or buy a Polybrute 12, Moog Muse, or some other super-synth? What’s more important: collecting experiences or things?
There seem to be some misconceptions about Arturia’s Analog Lab, even after all these years. I’ll aim to take a few minutes to clear things up.
And, of course there was music made with the synths and software I already have!
You can watch the replay here, or on YouTube (where you can see the chat replay).
