Getting Started ​

This guide walks you through creating your first patch in MNodes.

Quick Start ​

1. Install MNodes ​

Download MNodes from marionietoworld.com/mnodes and run the installer. See Installation for details.

2. Open MNodes ​

Launch MNodes standalone, or load it as a plugin in your DAW (VST3 or AU).

3. Create Your First Patch ​

  1. Right-click on the canvas to open the Node Palette
  2. Search for "Sine" and click to add it
  3. Add an Audio Out node the same way
  4. Click on the Sine's audio output pin and drag to the Audio Out's input pin
  5. Play a MIDI note (or add a MIDI In node and a MIDI To CV node for pitch control)

You should hear a sine tone. Congratulations:that's your first MNodes patch!

4. Add Some Character ​

Let's make it more interesting:

  1. Add a Filter node between the Sine and Audio Out
  2. Connect: Sine → Filter → Audio Out
  3. Add an LFO node
  4. Connect the LFO's CV output to the Filter's Cutoff CV input
  5. Add an ADSR Envelope node
  6. Connect a MIDI In → MIDI To CV for gate and pitch
  7. Connect the Envelope's output to control the Filter or the Sine's volume

Now you have a basic subtractive synth with modulation!

5. Save Your Work ​

Go to File → Save Preset to save your patch as a .mnprt file.
