Node is a four-operator FM synthesis engine for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. It is based on a classic setup with four sine oscillators (operators), which are connected together via multiple different algorithms that let them apply frequency modulation onto one another. This plugin neatly packages a total of 24 such FM algorithms and allows to set operator frequency ratios within an extremely wide range, delivering nearly 90,000 possible combinations and opening a whole universe of timbres, from timeless classic to edgy modern. Node’s engine runs 2x oversampled and employs a special filter to suppress unpleasant aliasing frequencies, enabling a much cleaner sound even in the higher octave range. Node also includes a very flexible built-in modulation generator that can be configured in a number of ways: exponential or linear envelopes, multi-waveform LFO, sample & hold, or random triangle. With this many features, Node is arguably the most user-configurable plugin available for KORG’s platform yet it’s designed to be incredibly easy to use.

Before You Start ⚠️
In order for oscillator plugins and supplied presets to function correctly, you must make sure that your Korg synthesizer has the latest available firmware update and that after installing it you also perform the panel update and voice update procedures.
If you install the firmware update but do not complete the panel and the voice updates, this can negatively affect other aspects of your instrument’s operation, not just compatibility with third-party plugins. When you power your Korg on, the main screen will warn you if such additional updates are required. Please refer to your Korg product's user manual for how to check the firmware version installed on your synthesizer - and visit www.korg.com to download the latest version. The download package will also contain the instructions for doing the panel and voice updates.
