Moog's Model 15 app now works with Ableton Live and other DAWs

Back in January, Moog updated its Model 15 app to support Macs running Big Sur, marking the first time one of the companys soft synths had come to desktop. It was a significant step forward in terms of accessibility. However, the synth ran as an Audio Unit v3 plugin, meaning you couldnt use it in conjunction with non-Apple digital audio workstations like Abelton.

Thats changing today with the Model 15 app now available within a VST wrapper. Short for Virtual Studio Technology, VST is the most widely supported standard for DAW synthesizer and effect unit plugins. As such, youre no longer limited to GarageBand, Logic and MainStage if you want to dabble with the modular synth. Unfortunately, if you're a Windows user, you still can't install the software on your computer. You will have to look to either Moog's iOS app or one of the many other modular synths you can download online.
