SATTARI MODULAR / FX + INSTRUMENT

Your sound.
In good company.

One creative platform. Every part of your chain.

Vocal, Create and instrument collections, brought together with your installed VST3s in an analog-inspired rack.

Sattari Modular FX native interface, with Clean, EQ, Comp and Heat in the main rack, Echo and Space on the return, eight macros and stereo VU meters.

One platform, two starting points

Process a track. Or play one.

Shape incoming audio with Modular FX, or combine up to four MIDI-driven source layers in Modular Instrument. Both share the same effects, collections and presets.

Build your signal chain.

Eight serial effects, or six effects with a two-slot parallel return.

01 / Chain

Find your order.

Load, duplicate, bypass and reorder integrated Sattari effects. Each instance keeps its own controls and processing history.

02 / Perform

Make it hands-on.

Map two targets to each of eight macros, with adjustable ranges. Compare A/B settings and recall three rack scenes.

03 / Recall

Keep the whole idea.

Save your chain as a preset or with your DAW session. Imported source audio travels inside the saved state.

Vocal

Clean leads. Character layers.

Clean, Gate, De-Ess, EQ, Comp, Heat, Double, Face, Glass Choir and Space. Import supported Vocal preset files into the FX rack.

Create

Movement and texture.

Echo, Heat, Pulse, Riser, Shimmer, Space, Warble, Warp, Vocoder and 808. Import supported Create preset files into the FX rack.

Instruments + Mix

Play and finish.

Three native source engines and four layers, with a focused Mix collection of cleanup, dynamics, stereo and transient effects.

Instrument sources

Granulator + Chop + Rhythm Genie

Play a granular source, import WAV, AIFF or FLAC audio for granular playback and onset-based chopping, or trigger Rhythm Genie from MIDI. Use any combination across four layers.

External plugins

Your installed VST3s

Load an external instrument in a source layer or an external effect in the chain. Open its own editor and preserve its settings with the rack. Plugins run in-process; trusted mono/stereo plugins only, with no AU hosting or crash isolation.

Detailed native controls, fourteen starting chains and collection filters are included. These are development features, not a claim of complete Stack editor parity or listening-approved presets.

From the native engine

Hear Modular.

Version 0.2.0

In the studio. Not released yet.

The consolidated rack is a native development build. Earlier 0.1.1 package qualification does not certify this upgrade. Public downloads are not open.

macOS

Development

Locally tested on Apple silicon

AU / VST3 / Standalone targets

Current automated native contracts and VST3 validation are part of development verification. Universal builds are supported by the build pipeline.

Fresh Intel and AU qualification, commercial signing, Apple notarization and broader DAW testing remain pending for this version.

Windows

In preparation

Windows x64 build pipeline prepared

Planned: VST3 / Standalone

A native Windows build has not yet been qualified. No Windows installer or download is available.

Availability will follow native testing and supported-host qualification.

Before launch

Clean-machine installation, extended DAW sessions, listening approval and distribution licensing review are still part of the release process. There is no announced release date.

Can I load my existing VSTs or Audio Units?

Development hosting supports installed VST3 instruments and effects. AU, VST2 and AAX hosting, multi-output routing, external sidechains and forwarding generated plugin MIDI are not implemented. External plugin binaries, licenses and sample libraries do not travel with presets.

What happens to Vocal, Create and Stack sessions?

Legacy plugins retain their identities so existing DAW sessions can continue to open. Supported Vocal and Create JSON preset files can be imported into Modular FX; active legacy LFO modulation is rejected, not silently discarded. This does not convert DAW sessions or automation. Stack presets and its deeper granular editors are not yet migrated.

What is saved with a preset?

The rack, control settings, macro assignments and imported source samples are stored in Modular presets and host state. Each source layer supports up to 1,440,000 audio frames, or 30 seconds at 48 kHz. Scenes and A/B compare settings; they do not hold separate samples.

Does it mix automatically?

No. Modular is a hands-on effects and instrument rack. Automatic mixing is not part of this version.
