This intuitive patching environment encourages experimentation and helps users to realise their unique soundscapes without limitations.

A Rich Library of Plugins

Not just feature-rich but also free of charge, MOD Desktop  promotes an inclusive approach to music production. It comes equipped with over 200 installed plugins, offering a broad spectrum of musical tools.

Key to MOD Desktop's included plugins are the AIDA-X and the NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) model loaders, the high resolution Cabinet IR and 15-second Reverb IR loaders.

Apart from effects plugins, MOD Desktop also includes multiple MIDI virtual instruments and utilities, an assortment of CV - Control Voltage - modules and a whole collection of different utilities for patching, recording, playing and more.

MIDI and CV Integration for Enhanced Musical Expression

MOD Desktop has MIDI support that allows the use of external controllers to play synths, control plugins and also sync with other tempo enabled devices.

The use of CVs extends beyond the use creation of modular synths and CVs can also be used to automate the control of other plugin parameters with LFOs and other tools.
