For real-time control, the front panel includes standard pitch and modulation wheels, two expression pedal inputs, and two dedicated performance knobs. The Macro knob is assignable to any internal parameter, while the Morph knob allows users to gradually transition between the specific settings of Part A and Part B. Modulation is handled by a matrix consisting of 16 sources and 38 destinations, all featuring LED status indicators. This system includes three LFOs, three envelopes, and a specialized random generator called Polymove, which creates unique control signals for every voice and its assigned destinations.
Designed for professional studios and performers seeking a distinct alternative to standard analog synthesizers, the Frap Tools Magnolia prioritizes a hands-on workflow without menu diving. Its combination of polyphonic aftertouch, deep thru-zero FM capabilities, and discrete analog circuitry provides a versatile platform for sound design.
