KarmaFX Synth Modular 2 is an advanced and highly flexible Simulated Analog Modular Synthesizer and Effect Unit. Its amazing visual- and highly intuitive user interface lets you modulate just about any knob or slider by any control signal - making the soundscape possibilities almost endless. The internal high-frequency digital simulation of analog voltage levels produces a sound quality that rivals even expensive hardware synthesizers. A comprehensive User's Manual and tons of bundled patches make it easy to get started producing your own unique sounds. Check out the sound demos, view the full specifications and try out the demo below. The Demo version is free for 30 days trial use. It times-out and has limited save and update capabilities. The Full Registered version never times-out + Comes with extra patches, more skins and a User's manual.
