Magnolia utilizes waveshapers, wavefolders, and analog linear TZFM (Through-zero Frequency Modulation) for a “West Coast” modular synthesis sound. The instrument also offers resonant filters and analog oscillators for subtractive synthesis, as well as a modulation section with a Toggle function for switching modulations.
Magnolia features eight analog voices with two oscillators (carrier and modulator) and 24 Db/oct resonant High-pass and Low-pass filters. The carrier oscillator has a through-zero core for analog FM (Frequency Modulation) sounds, applicable to filters. Its signal flow allows for continuously variable waveform shapes and a per-voice wavefolder circuit.
Magnolia’s filter section is derived from Cunsa…
The two oscillators are derived from Frap Tools’ Brenso, a Euroack module. Magnolia’s Oscillator 1 is a West Coast type with TZFM, wavefolder, and Flip sync. Oscillator 2 is an East Coast type with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and fine-tune. Magnolia’s filter section is derived from Cunsa, itself a quadruple analog ping-able multimode resonant filter, saturator, mixer, and oscillator.

Magnolia sports a keyboard from Fatar, with polyphonic aftertouch. It includes a per-part Arpeggiator and a per-part 16-step Seq (sequencer). Features include bi-timbral programs (with Single, Morph, Dual, and Split modes); an all-analogue signal path; three loop-able Dahdsr (Delay, Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain, and Release) envelopes; three digital Lfos (Low Frequency Oscillators); and 512 preset memory slots.
