At last, Magnolia is now officially shipping!⁠ ⁠ Magnolia is an eight-voice analog through-zero linear FM synthesizer. Besides the classic analog polysynth sounds, its design allows programming some less conventional timbres closer to the world of modular synthesizers, and especially of the so-called “complex oscillators.”⁠ ⁠ Magnolia allows to bring modular synthesis techniques in the world of analog polysynths, with all the known advantages of the latter: polyphony, immediacy of use, powerful sound, and those little unpredictable details generally known as “analog warmth.”⁠ ⁠ Magnolia is a highly playable instrument thanks to its expressive Fatar keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch and encourages sound exploration through its large and relaxing front panel.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #fraptools #polysynth #synthesizer

Additive synthesis in analog? Yes, we can!⁠ This apparently obvious lead+pad split uses a slightly unusual technique: it stacks many sine wave oscillators in the lead sound, tuned to specific intervals. The result imitates some additive synthesis sounds that are not so obvious on analog polysynths!⁠ ⁠ Use it when you need a lead that does not quite sound like anything else.⁠ ⁠ #synth #analogsynth #sounddesign #musicproducer

A pad inspired by the classic Mellotron sound!⁠ Its nasal and lo-fi tone and its almost complete absence of dynamics make it stand out in a mix. Perfect for some retro-vibes!⁠ ⁠ #synth #analogsynth #sounddesign #musicproducer

This is a guitar patch inspired by the twangy sound of delta blues 🎸⁠ The aftertouch performs a heavy note bending, perfect for imitating the “bottleneck” guitar technique. But it can be useful for other styles, maybe even for some hypnotic techno ostinato!⁠ ⁠ Headphones recommended! 🎧⁠ ⁠ #synth #analogsynth #sounddesign #musicproducer⁠
