MAP Black Friday pricing from GForce Software gets you 50% off this West Coast style synth plugin, bringing it to $59.99 until Dec 1, 2026.
MAP is a synth VST built around the experimental thinking of 1970s modular pioneers, with Serge and Buchla named as its lineage. The maker pitches it as a sound design playground rather than a preset machine.
The core is a triple oscillator setup, and one of the three is a dedicated modulation oscillator. You can bend amplitude, frequency and waveshape, then add FM on top.
A nine-type noise source sits alongside for grit and atmosphere.
Signal then runs through two filters: a multimode filter and a five-band resonant EQ. You can route them in series or in parallel.
MAP comes with three looping envelopes and three drawable LFOs. A noise-powered random LFO adds unpredictability, and MPE support is built in.
The modulation matrix is described by the maker as clean and intuitive.
A generative polyphonic arpeggiator is included for evolving ideas. XY Pad macros cover the oscillator and filter sections, so one gesture can move several parameters at once.
The effects are split into three groups:
The maker says these work as extensions of the instrument, aimed at everything from deep bass to crystalline leads and cinematic atmospheres.
Oscillator and filter sections have interchangeable presets, each with fresh XY Pad macros.
GForce notes that MAP is an independent product. It has no affiliation with, sponsorship from or endorsement by Serge Tcherepnin, Random*Source or Buchla USA, and the references are for historical context only.
Yes. The MAP Black Friday deal takes 50% off this GForce Software synth plugin, bringing it to $59.99 until Dec 1, 2026. It is a single synth with over 300 presets and the full effects section included.
MAP has three oscillators, one of them a dedicated modulation oscillator, with waveshaping and FM. Two filters follow: a multimode filter and a five-band resonant EQ, which you can run in series or in parallel.
You get three looping envelopes, three drawable LFOs, a noise-powered random LFO and MPE support. The effects cover colour processing, a quad delay, and grain and reverb space, plus a generative polyphonic arpeggiator.
MAP ships with over 300 presets, covering oscillator, filter, LFO and FX settings. A patch browser helps you find them, and the oscillator and filter presets each come with XY Pad macros for hands-on control.
