KV331 Audio has announced the release of Rob Lee EDM Expansion Pack 3, a new soundset for their SynthMaster 2.5 software synthesizer geared towards electronic dance music production.

The expansion pack contains 100 new high quality presets designed by Rob Lee, in the following categories:

- 7 Arps
- 25 Basses.
- 5 Chords.
- 5 Keys.
- 21 Leads.
- 26 Pads.
- 6 Plucks.
- 5 Sequences.
- 6 Synths.

The expansion pack is compatible with SynthMaster v2.5.4.132 and above. It is available for purchase at KV331 Audio web site.

This new site, available as a rich web application (iTunes like, made using Cappuccino - Cocoa web framework - and CSS3) allows indie composers to sell their music for free (full royalties - minus Papal fees), with a HD quality (lossless 16bit or 24bit), fair pricing (5$/euros for a 10 tracks albums) and fair ranking system (open).

It uses Dropbox service as a decentralized approach and low cost/lite infrastructure (also allows artists to keep full management of their files).

Moreover it is a community site : submited releases are validated and rated initially by members (users can apply as members at account creation time), allowing an independant and effective day to day management.

Finally it is a social site, as cover artists (singers, arrangers, pro composers) can submit covers to orignal composers (these will be validated by composer first, then by a community member, and added to the existing release if accepted).
Moreover purchased releases are in progess ones (additional and/or updated songs will be available for free for previous customers), being then more valued.
