Model 82 Sequencing Mono Synth is Softube's emulation of the most-used mono synth of the late '80s and early '90s — an instrument that went from commercial flop to underground success and, in doing so, helped define the sound of early techno. Softube captures the dry mono sound of the original hardware authentically, without adding polish the original never had, which is precisely the point for this machine.

Softube adds modern features that help it work inside a DAW — stereo doubling and drive among them — along with a refreshed layout. Most importantly, the sequencer and arpeggiator that defined techno have been made DAW friendly, so the instrument's signature rhythmic behavior is available without hardware workarounds. It is aimed at producers making techno, acid, electro, and house, and it works both as a live performance instrument and as a production tool. Requirements are macOS Sonoma 14, Sequoia 15, or Tahoe 26, or Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11, with AU, VST, VST3, and/or AAX host software plus Softube and iLok accounts.
