The Integral Bundle: Modular Synth and Effects Collection by Applied Acoustics Systems

Multiphonics is described as a modular rack built on the developer's physical modeling technology. Its modules cover oscillators, filters, CV generators and modules that emulate acoustic objects. The developer says the interface is intuitive enough for experienced users while also serving as a learning environment for people new to sound synthesis.

The rack can be used to build synths or custom effects for processing audio tracks. The integrated module and patch browser helps you move between the modules and the factory patches without leaving the plugin.

The new polyphony and FM oscillators widen the range of sounds the rack can produce, and the physical modeling oscillators add acoustic-style tones alongside the more conventional options.

The factory library holds 550 instrument and effects patches, giving you a starting point for both synth sounds and processing chains. The bundle also includes an in-depth online manual and a series of tutorials, which will help if you are working through the modular architecture for the first time.

The package fits producers who want a broad modular toolkit in one purchase, rather than separate plugins for each sound source. Standalone instrument versions are included alongside the plugin formats for use outside a DAW.
