"Here's a quick demo of the new VST from DenverSynthLabs. Showing its wide capabilities as a dual oscillator bass synth, but also much much more. Using MOD notes-- single sounds-- you can even program drum tracks monophonically."

"The Norand Mono mk1 and mk2 were left unfinished — firmware issues that never got solved, a company that went insolvent before it could fix them. MONOv³ finishes the job: updated firmware for your real hardware, plus a full digital twin with infinite patch storage, easier workflow, and near bit-perfect sound. Own a mk2? Load the firmware, run the hardware as a controller sending MIDI CC to the plugin, and pair it with the software for a NORAND DUAL."


- Two-oscillator mono synth — TZFM mod between oscillators, hard sync, dedicated filter with COLOR and RESONANCE, full ADSR envelope

- 16-step sequencer built in, with per-step Accent, Slide, Record, and note entry right on the grid — SEQ and SOUND randomizers with undo for each

- X-MOD and X-ENV sections give you a second modulation layer with its own LFO type/wave and amount, independent of the main envelope

- Updated firmware included for real Norand Mono mk1/mk2 hardware — the fixes the original company never shipped

- Run hardware and plugin together as a NORAND DUAL: the real unit sends MIDI CC as a controller while the plugin handles a second voice

- MANMADEMADMAN's own drum kits and sounds included, tested across 100+ live improv techno sets on both hardware versions"
