GForce Software has introduced MAP, a new software synthesizer for Mac & Windows that’s inspired ’70s modular synths from Serge, Buchla and others, but with a modern interface and software capabilities.
At its core, MAP features three powerful oscillators, a dual-filter architecture, and a deep modulation system with MPE support.
“MAP isn’t about presets, it’s about exploration,” said Sam, Product Designer at GForce Software. “We wanted to create an instrument that feels alive under your fingertips, where every movement opens a new path.”

This looks interesting, but the Omnisphere update has my attention still.
GForce really bungled the rollout of MAP. Their launch videos didn’t highlight the synth properly—“Introducing GForce MAP” ended up being a better advertisement for EEONAA than for MAP itself. GForce quickly recognized their misstep and sent an email to subscribers, owning their mistake and directing readers to an influencer’s video who, again, failed to show MAP in the best light.
It’s a shame. GForce creates stellar synths, and MAP is an ambitious take on Serge and Buchla’s non-musical designs, offering tremendous sound design potential. If only GForce had done a better job showcasing MAP’s capabilities right out of the gate.
