For those new to sound synthesis, it is an engaging learning environment. Multiphonics ships with a vast and inspiring library of synths and effects crafted by top sound designers.

New features include:

• Polyphony.
• MPE compatibility.
• 3-operator FM oscillator.
• Acoustic objects oscillator.
• Comb and tube filters.
• Oscilloscope module for signal visualization.

Benoit Charland, lead product designer at Applied Acoustics Systems, commented:

The standout feature of Multiphonics CV-3 is its new polyphonic capability, which fundamentally transforms its potential as a musical instrument. A patch can be made polyphonic with literally the push of a button—a simplicity rare among modular racks, which are monophonic in nature. We've also expanded the module library with new acoustic oscillators based on our award-winning physical modeling technology, bringing AAS's signature tone and feel into the modular realm. Combined with the new MPE compatibility, this opens the door to crafting truly unique synths with unparalleled expressive control.

Multiphonics CV‑3 runs on both macOS and Windows in 64-bit host sequencers that support the VST2, VST3, Audio Units, and AAX Native formats. It is also MPE compatible.
