ID700 is a hybrid FM/waveshaping software synthesizer based on the voice architecture of the Buchla 700. ID700 for Desktop runs in standalone mode and as an AUv3 plugin (Logic, GarageBand, REAPER64, and MainStage). A free VST3 wrapper is available from our website for hosts which don't support AUv3 (Ableton Live, Bitwig, Cubase). HISTORY In 1987 Don Buchla released the Buchla 700 synthesizer. It was the next logical step from Don's previous digital synths (the Buchla 400, Touché, Buchla 500) but was also influenced by the synth trends of the 1980's, specifically FM synthesis and the all-in-one workstation concept. As usual, Don was ahead of the curve and the 700 never took off. Very few were sold and even fewer functioning units exist today. I always loved the sound of Don's digital oscillators, and combined with the scarcity of the instrument it seemed like a fun project to recreate it in software and reintroduce its concepts to the world. FEATURES * AUv3 and Standalone support on macOS (VST3 wrapper available on our website) * twelve voices of four operator FM with twelve unique algorithms * fourteen complex envelopes per voice * two hundred professionally designed presets * two waveshapers per voice * preset randomizer * over forty factory wave shapes plus an editor for user created shapes * Scala scale file support with over four thousand included tunings from the Scala scale archive * MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) capability for MPE controllers like the Roli Seabord, Linnstrument, and Sensel Morph * advanced MIDI implementation (including 14-bit CCs and Program Change) * an in-depth manual (60+ pages) is available in the app and from our website

ID700 is a deep, quirky, and beautiful instrument. There's so much to explore in it for sound designers and musicians who are interested in finding something unusual and exotic to add to their synth collections. Highly recommended!
United StatesSuper fun right out of the box!
I swear I could score an entire space horror movie with this thing in an afternoon. I mean honestly I’m just spacing out to all these ambient textures I’m making. Be sure to get the VST3 wrapper from the modo.sc website so you can control it from your DAW.

This is a very special instrument and the emotive possibilitiess with discovery through sound is purely evident.
