Synthesizer

Malström

Reason Studios

Malström is a polyphonic synthesizer based on Graintable Synthesis, combining granular and wavetable synthesis methods to create swirling, sharp, distorted, and abstract special effect sounds. It features two oscillators with extensive graintable controls, two tempo-syncable modulators, two multimode filters with a waveshaper, and flexible routing for creating complex, dynamic synthesis results unlike traditional synthesizers.

Key Features

01Two graintable-based oscillators with Index, Motion, and Shift controls
02Two tempo-syncable modulators with one-shot mode and 16 time divisions
03Two multimode filters (LP 12, BP 12, Comb+/-, AM) with envelope modulation
04Waveshaper with 5 modes: Sine, Saturate, Clip, Quant, Noise
05Three ADSR envelope generators (one per oscillator, one shared filter envelope)
06Polyphony up to 16 voices with Legato mode
07Flexible audio routing with parallel/series filter configurations

Things to Try

  • 01Set Motion knob all the way left to freeze the graintable and play a single static waveform repeatedly
  • 02Use one-shot mode on a modulator with a gently sloping waveform to create envelope-like effects on oscillator parameters
  • 03Activate keyboard tracking on filters to increase cutoff frequency as you play notes higher on the keyboard
  • 04Route one oscillator through both filters in series and set each to a different mode for complex harmonic manipulation
