Navigate the unknown
The Era-Spanning Sound Design Playground
Born from the lineage of Serge©, Buchla©, and modular synthesis, MAP embodies the fearless spirit of sound explorers who broke every rule in pursuit of the new. It captures that radical 1970s experimentation and reimagines it for today, offering an instrument where vintage soul collides with modern innovation. MAP is not just a synthesiser, it’s a sonic playground for the curious. With shimmering oscillations, rich modulation, and effects that ooze colour and character, it invites you to step off the beaten path and into a world of discovery.
For the synth explorer MAP is more than a tool, it’s a companion. It rewards hands-on curiosity, bends to your imagination, and reveals sonic landscapes you didn’t know existed. Whether you’re sculpting bold leads, gritty textures, or shifting ambient soundscapes, MAP helps you chase the unknown and make it yours.
Complex Oscillators, Simple Inspiration
At MAP’s heart are three unique oscillators, including a dedicated modulation oscillator, that echoes the West Coast ethos of deep, flexible tone-shaping. You can twist amplitude, frequency, and waveshape into entirely new forms, then run them through dual filters: a five-band resonant EQ and a versatile multimode filter, in series or parallel. Add a nine-type noise source for grit and atmosphere, and you’re working with raw sonic clay ready for adventure.
True to its modular roots, MAP is built for play. Oscillator and filter sections come with interchangeable presets, each with fresh XY Pad macros for expressive control. A single gesture can transform your patch from subtle shimmer to wild, chaotic eruption. Every configuration feels like opening a new chapter in your sonic journey.
Movement, Colour, Space, Time
Exploration demands motion—and MAP delivers. With three looping envelopes, three drawable LFOs, MPE support, and a noise-powered random LFO, your sounds gain organic unpredictability. A polyphonic generative arpeggiator fuels instant melodic inspiration, while a clean, intuitive modulation matrix keeps the wildest patches under your command.
And then come the effects—more than polish, they’re extensions of the instrument itself:
- Colour: split, sculpt, or devastate your frequencies.
- Time: a flexible quad delay that reshapes rhythm.
- Space: an ocean of grains and reverb for immersion and vastness.
Together, they transform MAP into a living system—capable of deep bass growls, crystalline leads, or sprawling cinematic atmospheres.
For those who see synthesis not as a preset machine, but as a voyage—MAP is your vessel. Rooted in the modular pioneers yet designed for today, it’s an instrument that doesn’t just make sound. It helps you explore it.
Note: During development, MAP’s design team studied historical modular systems, including those created by Serge Tcherepnin, Random*Source, and Buchla USA.
