The Ultimate Synth 🎹
Magnolia is a West Coast analog FM synth which evokes the era of Bob Moog, Dave Smith and other towering founder/engineers who built companies for creating instruments that they themselves wanted to use.
It’s not just the circuits that make it shine: Magnolia is a tank in an era dominated by the rise of the mini-synths. Its warm, honey-colored casing evokes a distinctly ’70s aesthetic and Frap’s insistence on quality extends all the way down to the keyboard.
