MAP Audio Rhino3 v1.3.3

Software Overview

---

MAP Audio Rhino3 provides a versatile synthesis architecture built around six oscillators per voice. Each oscillator can use a built-in waveform or one of six wavetables created in the additive editor or derived from a WAV file. The FM routing matrix supports modulation between oscillators, including self-modulation, with exponential or linear scaling.

The sound engine also includes two multimode filters, a dry signal bus, oscillator-specific waveshaping, and extensive envelope controls. Four effect slots provide additional processing options for creating everything from evolving textures to complex electronic tones.

Oscillators and FM Routing

---

Each voice contains six oscillators that can be combined to create complex harmonic structures. Sources include built-in waveforms and custom wavetables, allowing FM synthesis to work alongside additive and wavetable techniques.

The FM matrix lets any oscillator modulate another, including itself. Exponential and linear scaling provide different approaches to frequency modulation, while two ring modulators can process mixes of oscillator signals. Each oscillator also has its own waveshaper for additional harmonic shaping.

Filters and Signal Processing

---

Rhino3 includes two multimode filters covering lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch responses at 12, 24, and 36 dB per octave. Additional models include analog lowpass and highpass designs, comb, allpass, diode, transistor-ladder, Sallen-Key, and SEM types.

Each oscillator can send its signal to Filter 1, Filter 2, and a dry bus in adjustable proportions. The filters can also feed back into each other, and each filter loop contains a waveshaper for further tonal processing.

Custom Envelopes and Modulation

---

The synthesizer provides 31 drawable envelopes for controlling oscillator level, waveshape, pitch, and phase, as well as filter cutoff, resonance, and waveshape, plus global pitch. Each envelope supports up to 128 segments, with adjustable curvature, a loop region, and tempo synchronization.

Separate curves for keyboard tracking, velocity, and aftertouch provide additional performance control, allowing sounds to respond dynamically to playing technique and musical input.

Built-in Effects

---

Four effect slots provide access to 24 effect types for shaping and enhancing the synthesized sound. The available processing includes delays, choruses, ensembles, flanger, quad phaser, reverbs, granulator, CrazyComb, autopan, rotary speaker, ring modulation, overdrive, and a three-band equalizer.

These effects can be used to add space, movement, saturation, rhythmic variation, and tonal balance without relying entirely on external processing.

Why Choose MAP Audio Rhino3

---

MAP Audio Rhino3 is a strong option for producers and sound designers who want extensive control over synthesis and modulation. Its combination of six-oscillator FM, additive and wavetable sources, dual multimode filters, drawable envelopes, and integrated effects supports a wide range of sound-design approaches within one instrument.

System Requirements

---

• A compatible digital audio workstation or audio plugin host is required.
• A supported plugin format and compatible operating system are required.
