At NAMM 2016 I visited the KV331 Audio stand and they were keen to show off their iOS app version of SynthMaster.  Users that have the desktop version can create detailed patches and sounds of which they can import into the iOS app for performance.  The app has had a full redesign so that it looks and feels and good as it sounds.  Bluetooth support is added so that wireless controllers such as the ROLI Seaboard can be used with it. Below is my review of the Synthmaster plug-in...
