Madrona Labs – Studio Bundle (Windows)

Description

Madrona Labs – Kaivo

Kaivo combines granular synthesis with physical modeling, bringing cutting-edge academic research into a patchable, modular-style environment. Using finite difference time domain (FDTD) modeling, Kaivo allows users to interact with the inner mechanics of sound, recreating realistic details such as string rattles, resonant chimes, and spring vibrations.

Unlike static sampling, Kaivo ensures subtle, natural variations each time a note is played, adding depth, organic movement, and lifelike realism. With eight resonator types and endless modulation possibilities, Kaivo is ideal for experimental sound design, cinematic atmospheres, and expressive electronic music.

Key Features:

• Hybrid granular + physical modeling engine

• FDTD modeling for acoustic realism

• 8 tuned resonators (strings, chimes, springs, etc.)

• Modular-style patchable interface

• Natural sound variation on each trigger

• Perfect for evolving textures and lifelike soundscapes

Madrona Labs – Aalto: Inspired by West Coast synthesis, Aalto is a semi-modular softsynth with a distinctive patchable interface and unique sound-shaping capabilities. Known for its organic tones, evolving modulation, and Buchla-style inspiration, Aalto is a favorite among experimental and electronic musicians seeking fluid, dynamic sound design.

Madrona Labs – AaltoVerb: A versatile reverb plugin that emphasizes performance and flexibility, AaltoVerb lets you create stretchable, evolving spaces. With an intuitive design and smooth modulation options, it’s perfect for both subtle ambience and expansive, atmospheric soundscapes.

Madrona Labs – Sumu: Sumu introduces a hybrid additive + FM synthesis engine, offering unprecedented control over harmonics and modulation. It’s designed for creating lush, evolving tones and futuristic textures, making it Madrona Labs’ most ambitious synth yet.

Madrona Labs – Vutu: Vutu is a companion tool for Sumu that enables the generation of partial files from samples. Analyzing sound into partials enables detailed spectral control and integration with Sumu’s additive/FM engine.

Madrona Labs – Virta: Virta is a voice-controlled synthesizer and multi-effect unit that transforms audio signals into expressive synth tones. Whether used with vocals or other instruments, it combines pitch tracking, harmonization, and modular sound design tools for creative performance and processing.
