What it is
Model 82 is a circuit-modeled recreation of a cult hardware mono synth from the late '80s and early '90s, capturing the same dry, punchy mono sound that made the original a staple of early techno and acid records. It comes as both a standalone instrument and six modular, Eurorack-style components for custom patching, built around a sequencer and arpeggiator that syncs to your DAW's tempo. That split lets you either drop in the whole synth as one plugin or wire individual pieces, like the oscillator or filter, into your own custom signal chain.
Who it's for
Techno, electro, and acid producers after gritty, analog-style leads, basses, and arpeggiated hooks, along with modular-curious sound designers who want to patch the synth's individual components into their own signal chains.
Key features
- DAW-syncable sequencer and arpeggiator with 1/4, 1/8, 1/8T, and 1/16 note divisions
- Detailed circuit-level modeling that reproduces the original hardware's interaction and character
- Stereo doubling and drive controls added on top of the original design
- Velocity and aftertouch response with three selectable color schemes for the plugin interface
