GForce MAP.
Born from the lineage of Serge©, Buchla©, and modular synthesis, MAP embodies the fearless spirit of sonic pioneers who defied conventions in pursuit of discovery. It channels the radical experimentation of the 1970s and reimagines it for the modern sound designer—where vintage soul collides with forward-thinking innovation.
MAP is not just a synthesizer—it’s a playground for the curious. With shimmering oscillations, evolving modulation, and effects rich in color and character, it invites you to step beyond the familiar and explore a world of sonic possibility.
For the sound explorer, MAP is a companion that rewards hands-on curiosity. It bends to your imagination, revealing new textures, harmonics, and atmospheres with every gesture. Whether you’re crafting bold leads, gritty soundscapes, or drifting ambient textures, MAP helps you chase the unknown and make it your own.
