About
Medrone is a hands-on modulation synthesizer built for producers who want sound design to feel physical. Build from a deep synth engine, dial in six-operator FM, throw modulation through the XY pad, then sequence and chain ideas into full evolving patterns.

Available as standalone app, VST3, AU · Windows & Mac · 64-bit only
Core Instrument
Six operators with algorithm control.
Stack, split, star, twin, complex, and paired algorithms make it fast to move from bell tones and keys to metallic pads, basses, and unstable harmonic textures.
Built-in polish and destruction.
Reverb, delay, grain, chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, LFO, feedback, drive, damping, size, density, spread, and wet controls live inside the instrument.
More than 160 sounds included.
Start from curated banks, jump between patches from the main display, or build from scratch when the track needs something nobody else has touched.
Synth Engine
Many voices, waveforms, and effects without menu diving.
The synth page groups tone, grain, reverb, delay, modulation, chorus, flanger, and phaser controls so the whole sound can be sculpted quickly. It is deep enough for detailed patch design, but laid out like an instrument you can actually perform.
- Waveform, pitch, sub, detune, glide, filter, envelope, and drift controls
- Grouped effects for reverb, delay, grain, tremolo, chorus, flanger, and phaser
- Designed for pads, basses, bells, evolving textures, and playable leads
FM Synthesis
Fast FM for musical results, not spreadsheet punishment.
Six operators give Medrone a second sound design personality. Choose an algorithm, set ratios and levels, adjust envelopes, and blend modulation index and feedback from a clear single-screen layout.
- Six operators with sine, triangle, saw, and square carriers or modulators
- Algorithm presets for Rhodes, electric piano, bass, bells, chimes, pads, brass, and 80s piano
- Operator envelopes, keyboard response, velocity, break, release, feedback, and mod index
Interactive XY Mod Matrix
Throw the dot and let the patch move.
The XY pad is not a static macro control. Grab the point, fling it, turn on gravity, and let inertia generate expressive automation. Keep it bouncing forever or let decay pull the motion down until the sound settles.

Assignable X/Y destinations
Sequencer, Arp, Song Mode
Turn patches into patterns, then chain them into songs.
The built-in step sequencer and arp make Medrone more than a preset player. Program notes, gates, octave movement, nudges, motion, and rhythmic values, then use song mode to chain sequences together into longer evolving ideas.
- 16-step sequencing with note, gate, octave, velocity, and nudge lanes
- Arpeggiator controls for direction, randomization, latching, and timing
- Song mode for chaining sequences into structured performances
