Six drone voices
The heart of Magnetar: six latchable drone oscillators, each tunable down to the microtone, across 14 built-in scales.
The instrument
Six drone voices each drifting their own way, a lead of up to 12 voices on top, a Polivoks filter that bites, and seven effects feeding the signal back to each other.
Polyphonic lead
Above the drones, the LEAD module is played from the keyboard: up to 12 voices of polyphony (Poly 4, 8 or 12), Unison or Mono, with HOLD and an AUTO mode driven by the sequences.
Raw, unstable at will
A raw sound, with no pseudo-analog frills. You dial in the instability yourself: DRIFT, DRIFT RATE and WANDER, at the heart of the first module.
Dense modulation
8-slot matrix, 2 LFOs, 4 macros, XY joystick, envelope follower, pulsers, S&H, 4 MSEGs and a 16-step sequencer.
Polivoks OTA filter
The aggressive filter of the Soviet synth, in low-pass, high-pass and band-pass.
Preview
The instrument's engine, in your browser. Every control, without the preset library: turn the knobs, play.
The playable preview needs a computer: large screen, keyboard or MIDI controller.
This browser cannot run the preview (AudioWorklet / WebAssembly required).
