{"product_id":"gforce-software-map","title":"GForce Software - MAP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGForce MAP\u003c\/strong\u003e is a West Coast-inspired software synth for Mac and PC, built around complex oscillators, waveshaping and FM rather than a classic subtractive layout. It's for sound designers and experimental producers after evolving textures, gritty leads and ambient movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reference points are the 1970s modular pioneers: Serge, Buchla and the experimental scene around them. MAP isn't a recreation of any of them. It borrows the West Coast habit of shaping tone at the oscillator, then adds modern modulation and effects on top. GForce is clear that it has no affiliation with those makers, and the references are there for context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/2286\/5816\/files\/gforce-map.webp?v=1793605853\" alt=\"GForce MAP synth plugin interface showing the oscillator, filter and XY pad sections\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree Oscillators, Two Filters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three oscillators, one of them a dedicated modulation oscillator, with amplitude, frequency and waveshape all up for grabs. They feed two filters, a five-band resonant EQ and a multimode filter, which can run in series or parallel. A noise source with nine types adds grit or air. The resonant EQ is the unusual part, and it's where a lot of MAP's colour comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eXY Pads and Section Presets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oscillator and filter sections each have their own presets, and each comes with XY pad macros. One gesture can take a patch from a gentle shimmer to something much wilder, which makes MAP good fun to play live as well as to program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModulation and Movement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree looping envelopes, three drawable LFOs and a noise-driven random LFO, all routed through a clear modulation matrix, with MPE support. A polyphonic generative arpeggiator throws out melodic ideas when you're stuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColour, Time, Space\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe effects are named for what they do. Colour splits and distorts frequencies, Time is a flexible quad delay, and Space is a granular reverb for big, wide atmospheres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmbient, experimental, cinematic and leftfield electronic producers who want something that doesn't sound like another virtual analogue. If you want a classic polysynth, GForce's Oberheim range is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspired by 1970s West Coast experimentalism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree oscillators with waveshaping and FM, including a dedicated modulation oscillator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual filters: multimode and five-band resonant EQ, in series or parallel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNine-type noise source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree looping envelopes, three drawable LFOs and a random LFO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModulation matrix with MPE support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenerative polyphonic arpeggiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXY pad macros for the oscillator and filter sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour, Time (quad delay) and Space (granular reverb) effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 300 presets, plus oscillator, filter, LFO and FX presets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully scalable interface with light and dark options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSystem Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMac:\u003c\/strong\u003e macOS 10.15 or later, Intel or Apple Silicon.
