Version 1.0.1 is available. It fixes a bug when replacing modules and adds Scala KBM file import plus a Parametric EQ module.

Awesome work, Mr. Full Bucket. Full bucket of surprise. 
I've always liked your synths very much, especially Mono/Poly, but this one feels like the pinnacle of your work. And it sounds like it. The surprise part for me is that this is exactly how I envisioned the successor to my beloved VAZ Modular. The GUI, the workflow. Now some will say that it isn't, but I think it's close, and Bjorn will develop it further, I'm sure. This monster synth should be able to do all the sounds your other synths can do.
Eternally grateful.

Same here. I just bought a Digitakt... feels like living in two realities and/or suffering from dissociative identity disorder.![]()

Gosh, it just occurred to me. Wait until the preset freaks join this thread. I'm going to say it ahead for them: do your own presets! Be creative for once, eh?

What exactly is happening on which OS? Can you send me a patch?
BTW I am heavily working on v1.1.0 which (apart from adding some more modules) will fix & improve a lot of the internal stuff of ModulAir...

That's excellent news!
Well I pose this as a question because I could be routing this incorrectly, of course...
Though the reverb seems to almost work, as long as the master envelope is open, the delay behaves extremely strangely, also having a similar issue.
They operate perfectly as master modules, which appears to change the routing options such that it outputs post the master env.
I'm doing this on Windows 10 in Reaper and Live.
I can't replicate the mixer pan stereo bleed issue on this laptop but it was simply the above patches with a mixer instead of reverb/delay, in Live on Windows 10. I have the latest version installed here, which may have made the difference, as Ableton has made a major update to plugin support, now supporting vst3, but I wouldn't know all the peripheral ramifications of this.

It is working as expected. Voice modules act per voice, so each Delay or Reverb module processes only the actual voice. And since the output of the voice goes through the main ADSR, the tail of the Delay / Reverb will be cut if the Release time is zero or at least pretty low.
That's why I added the Master modules which are single modules processing whatever is fed into them - typically the Voices Sum signal i.e. the signal of all voices (after their respective main ADSR stages) summed up.

This is really a masterwork.
I love that you managed to add in a bonus demonstration of your modulating delays as compared to phasing.
I’m floored that you’ve already implemented multiple elements I was going to inquire about, and more.
That’s one heck of an “oscilloscope!” My Grandpa’s doesn’t do that. This is enough to make entire music videos with. I’m daydreaming about it being maximized or RGB/HSL modulated...
But of course, this is a flagship synthesizer, and I'd prioritize the modern synthesis elements of sustaining multiband comp & saturation/amp modeling and convolution...
These settings & routings appears to effectively bypass the master env for voice fx use.
