muSonics Debuts Updated Vanilla Synthesizer & Previews Continuo Arpeggiator/Sequencer

At the 2025 NAMM Show, muSonics debuted an updated version of the Vanilla Synthesizer, an all-in-one, normalized MU-format modular synthesizer, and introduced the Continuo Arpeggiator/Sequencer.

The muSonics Vanilla Synthesizer has been available for about a year as a hand-assembled, through-hole “man-sized” synth. But muSonics head Suit & Tie Guy says that he’s redesigned it, using surface mount design, so that he can manufacturer it in bigger volumes.

Other key updates:

  • The Vanilla Synthesizer is now normalized, so that it can be played without any patching. Jacks are switched, though, so you can override the internal normalization.
  • The back features connections for CV & Gate, balanced XLR and unbalanced quarter-inch output & MIDI.

In addition to the updated Vanilla Synthesizer, muSonics shared a preview of a new sequencing module:

The muSonics Continuo is a new standalone arpeggiator/sequencer in Moog format, taking four spaces.

The Continuo has MIDI In/Out, and quarter-inch jacks for Shift In, Stage One Input (reset), Time Input, and Pitch & Gate outputs.

Here’s a video overview of the new muSonics gear from the NAMM Show floor, via S0nic State:

Pricing and Availability:

The Vanilla Synthesizer is available now for $3,300. The Continuo is available as a public beta for $500. See the muSonics site for details.
