Frap Tools Magnolia

It's an analog polysynth that can do through-zero FM

Magnolia will feature eight analog voices with two oscillators (carrier and modulator) and two filters (high-pass and low-pass). Like any flagship contemporary synthesizer, it sports a Fatar keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch capabilities.

Linear FM all over the place

The carrier oscillator has a through-zero core for precise, sideband-rich analog FM sounds. From crystal-like pads to growling basses, Magnolia has it all. And you can also FM the filter!

Waveshapers, Wavefolders, and other West Coast sounds

Sculpt sounds previously unheard among analog polysynths thanks to Magnolia's unique signal flow, which features continuously variable waveform shapes and a wavefolder circuit per voice!

Modular Ancestors

Inside Magnolia, you'll find Frap Tools' unique modular soul: the oscillators derive from the Brenso, and the filter derives from the Cunsa.
