The Outersect Modeler Black Friday deal takes 40% off Tracktion's physical modeling synth, bringing it to $77.40 until Nov 6, 2026.
This synth plugin is a pure modeling instrument. Instead of playing back samples, it generates the sound of acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments from a model.
It is the passion project of Rob Rayle, a classically trained musician and Pro Tools coder. He built it to jam on his keytar.
The maker says it is meant for anyone who wants an instrument that feels alive.
Rob's own music mixes psychedelic electronic styles: psychill, techno-bluegrass and 70s progressive rock.
At its core sits a general-purpose model for linear physical instruments. It simulates many real instruments and can also synthesize instrument types that don't exist.
That lets you merge traits from different instruments into one sound. Among the maker's examples are a trumpet that howls with guitar-style feedback and a sax damped by a bow, plus other pairings that couldn't exist in the real world. The sounds stretch from the subtle shading of a bowed violin to the screaming feedback of an electric guitar. The maker also points to ethereal atmospheres, futuristic textures and rare, exotic instruments.
The maker says there are so many ways to play the same note that sampling them all would be impossible. It describes the result as organic, with happy accidents along the way.
The Outersect Modeler is fully MPE compatible, so MPE controllers fit right in.
The interface fits on a single page. Every modeling parameter is a property or playing technique of a real instrument, not a mathematical abstraction.
Any knob can be modulated from any source in 2 mouse clicks.
On Windows, you need Windows 10 or higher. Formats are AAX, VST3 and Standalone, installed to \Program Files\Modeler\.
On Mac, you need macOS 10.13 or higher. Formats are AAX, AU, VST3 and Standalone, installed to /Applications/.
