Sonigen has released an updated beta version of Sonigen Modular, a modular synthesizer in VST plugin format for Windows.
New Version, New Features! The new features are Controllers and Modifiers. Controllers are input widgets that allow you to use a control signal like Velocity, Keytrack or unison as a source signal for a module input. You could already do this but they have been improved both graphically and feature wise. Most controllers now have a popup panel with extra settings so you can customize how they work. For Velocity you can select response curve, for Ketrack you can change mapping, for Unison you can select a specific value for each voice.
Modifiers are like controllers except that they modify an existing input. So you can set Velocity to control the input level of an ADSFR signal. Or you can use the ModWheel modifier to change how much LFO is applied to the pitch input. The main thrust is that they make it very easy to do what would probably involve a whole module and some extra cabling in most other modulars. In Sonigen Modular it is a few clicks and a small icon. And the graphics have been updated somewhat.
Sonigen Modular beta is available for free download via Sonigen.

Features
Main features of Sonigen Modular:
- Fully modular with as many modules and patch cables as you want.
- A fast and intuitive user interface. Layout is mostly automatic, cables for patching, dynamic input handling reduces screen wastage from unused input terminals / knobs and extra mixers. Modifier and controller nodes make a lot of tasks that would normally take a whole module a matter of a few clicks and a small icon.
- Modular voice and output effect processing both cleanly integrated in one window.
- Everything is processed at full sample rate, there is no lower “control” rate. This means pretty much anything can be plugged into anything else. It also means higher quality modulation control and processing.
- JIT (Just in time) audio engine. The audio processing code is dynamically assembled and optimised in real time as you edit and play. This makes the audio processing very fast and efficient.
