Frap Tools launches Magnolia polysynth at €4199

A Eurorack-inspired polysynth just hit the market, and it basically crams an entire modular rig into one keyboard.

Frap Tools Magnolia is officially out

• Frap Tools launched the Magnolia after a long dev cycle.
• Eight voices and a bi-timbral setup sit under the hood.
• Every circuit was designed from scratch, with zero stock ICs.
• It retails at €4,199 and is available right now.

Oscillator setup is a nerdy dream

• One East Coast oscillator handles PWM duties.
• Its West Coast partner packs a wavefolder and through-zero FM.
• FM control stays dead simple via one top-panel knob.
• A five-octave Fatar keybed delivers polyphonic aftertouch.

Modulation and effects go deep

• Sixteen sources feeding into 38 destinations is wild.
• Polymove generates per-voice random control signals automatically.
• Onboard analog distortion pairs with digital chorus and delays.
• Three LFOs and three envelopes round out the toolkit.
