MAP - The Era-Spanning Sound Design Playground
Navigate the unknown. MAP ushers in a new era of sound exploration. Inspired by the modular legends Serge, Buchla and the pioneering spirit of the 1970s, this synthesizer combines vintage soul and modern innovation in one extraordinary instrument. MAP is no ordinary synth - it's a sonic adventure, a tool for explorers, sound researchers and sound designers who want to push boundaries.
Vintage inspiration meets modern freedom
MAP is designed for musicians who want to experience sound, not just create it. With three oscillators, including a dedicated modulation oscillator,MAP enables complex waveshaping, FM and AM - inspired by West Coast synthesis. The combination of a dual filter system(multimode + 5-band resonance EQ) and nine noise types creates a flexible sound design ecosystem that transforms any idea into a vivid soundscape.
Movement, space and timbre
Sound thrives on movement - and this is exactly where MAP shines.
With three loop envelopes, three freely drawable LFOs, MPE support and a noise-controlled random modulator, MAP breathes organic dynamics into every Patch. The polyphonic, generative arpeggiatorconstantly provides new musical ideas, while an intuitive modulation matrix keeps even complex combinations clear.
Integrated effects - more than just refinement
MAP offers three creative effect modules that transform the sound instead of just embellishing it:
Color - Split, shape or destroy frequencies
Time - Flexible quad delay for rhythmic structures
Space - Reverb and granular depths for cinematic soundscapes
Together, they transform MAP into a vibrant sound system that can master everything from dark drones to sparkling leads and vast ambient landscapes.
