MoMinstruments has announced the release of a new synthesizer app based on the DSP code of the Mutable Instruments Plaits hardware oscillator module.
While Plaits is monophonic, Elastic OSC can also be used in 8-voice polyphonic mode, allowing you to use it both as a sophisticated, experimental monophonic sound source, or as a regular polyphonic keyboard with a wide variety sounds.
Elastic OSC is designed for playability and simplicity – much like the Plaits hardware, which uses just four main knobs to control all essential synth parameters. In Elastic OSC, these four core parameters are mapped to an XY pad, allowing for quick and intuitive sound tweaking, while a second XY pad offers direct control over the built-in effects.
Elastic OSC is essentially a one-screen app with no menu diving. Despite its clean and minimal interface, the sonic possibilities are vast: under the surface lie 24 different oscillator models and full parameter automation – as you know from other Elastic apps.
On sale for the intro price of 9.99 USD/EUR/GBP (until May 15th, 2025), Elastic OSC is available now as a standalone iOS app and in AUv3 plugin format. Desktop versions for Windows and Mac (VST3/AU) are in development.
