Three New MOSS Synths

We covered the release of the MOSS-101 last year, and Ultrapalace are back with 3 new models, available for funding now on their Kickstarter page. Details of the range are below, but in short they are a DX7 inspired 6 OP synth, one modelled on Classic 70s/80s Poly Synths and a third which is inspired by the Buchla Easel. DIY Units start at CA$ 180 (about £98) and fully assembled units are CA$ 200 (about £109). Check out the Kickstarter here.

A demo with the MOSS 416:

The M0SS-201, M0SS-309 and M0SS-416 are 3 new members of the M0SS line of synthesizers from UltraPalace, expanding on the flagship M0SS-101 released in 2025.

This line of instruments packs the power of an advanced synth in to a tiny, rugged enclosure, and offers a unique user interface, designed to be intuitive, hands-on, and fun. Press a button to select a parameter in the synthesis engine, and turn the encoder to modify its value.
Coloured LEDs positioned across the face will pulse and toggle to show the signal flow, indicate settings, and show the current parameters magnitude.
These synths feature USB MIDI Host, as well as 1/8" MIDI, so you can connect any MIDI controller, and map knobs or faders to any parameter using MIDI learn, allowing you to transform your inexpensive MIDI controller into a powerful and fascinating vintage-style synth, or to integrate the synth into your existing MIDI setup.

M0SS-201

The M0SS-201 is a west coast synth, which takes some inspiration from the Buchla Easel. This modern monosynth is packed with features that will inspire experimentation into advanced synthesis. It is capable of an incredibly broad spectrum of sounds, and diving in, you might find yourself wondering if the sounds you are creating have ever been heard before by human ears, and the answer may well be no!

M0SS-309

The M0SS-309 is a hybrid of some classic polysynths from the 70s and 80s. It features 9 voices of polyphony, with 2 oscillators, a resonant filter and 2 envelopes per voice. Advanced features like FM and hard sync open up a huge pallet of textures to design your pads, synth leads, or to experiment with polyphonic textures. It also offers a suite of master FX, including chorus, reverb and delay.

M0SS-416

The M0SS-416 is a 6 operator FM synth, based on the infamous DX7. Unlike the DX7, the M0SS-416 has a labeled physical interface for each parameter, so you can design or modify sounds in real time without ever looking at a screen or diving through a menu system. It is fully compatible with DX7 .sys files, so you can load any DX7 patch you might have in your collection using the included internal SD card, or over MIDI SYSEX.
