MNodes by Mario Nieto
What if a single plugin could be every instrument you’ve ever needed — and every one you haven’t invented yet? That’s the idea behind MNodes. Built by Mario Nieto, it’s a self-contained modular environment that lives inside one plugin window and can become absolutely anything: a lush polyphonic synth, a granular sampler, a rhythmic MIDI processor, a generative sequencer, a custom effects chain with its own bespoke interface. Load it, shape it, perform it.
This isn’t a preset browser dressed up as something deeper. MNodes is a fully-featured node-based signal environment — 332 building blocks and counting — wrapped in a workflow that’s genuinely approachable. You don’t need to write a single line of code. You just connect, create, and play.
The Hub: Ready to Play, Right Now
Not in the mood to build from scratch? The Hub has you covered. It’s a curated, ever-expanding library of ready-made instruments and effects — synths, drum machines, keys, pads, MIDI tools, sequencers — contributed by Mario and the growing MNodes community. Browse, download, load. One click and you’re making music. New projects are added continuously, so there’s always something fresh to explore.
The LAB: Pure Creative Magic
Staring at a blank patch wondering where to start? Hit the wand. The LAB generates a completely new, fully playable plugin from scratch — its own sound design, its own control layout, its own character. No two results are ever the same. Don’t love it? Click again. When something sparks, keep it, tweak it, save it. The LAB is equally useful as a creative springboard for producers who know exactly what they want and a lifesaver when inspiration has gone quiet.
Build Your Own: 332+ Nodes and Counting
For those who want to go deeper, MNodes is a fully modular playground. Connect, disconnect, rewire — every signal path is yours to define. Drop in your own VST3 plugins and route modulation directly into any of their parameters. The node library spans every corner of audio and MIDI production:
- 31 Generators & Envelopes: Sine, saw, triangle, square, pulse, wavetable, subtractive, additive, supersaw/unison, FM voice, FM op, PM op, west coast, drum synth, Karplus-Strong, formant synthesis, granular, AM/ring mod, convolver, player, looper, recorder, noise, and more
- 66 Effects & Dynamics: Six-band parametric EQ, filters, allpass, resonator, reverb, stereo/mono delay, chorus, pitch shift, frequency shifter, vocoder (up to 100 bands), OTT, compressor, limiter, maximiser, expander, noise gate, transient shaper, beat repeat, waveshaper, tube saturation, bitcrush, foldback, stereo width, wow/flutter, tape damage, and more
- 48 CV & Sequencing: LFO, clock, clock divider, PPQ divider, step sequencer, slider sequencer, toggle sequencer, route sequencer, quantise, microtonal quantisers (EDO, just intonation, Scala), scale keyboard, curve, sample & hold, glide, detune, transpose, octave, BPM/Hz conversion, transport, trigger, random trigger, counter, and more
- 33 MIDI Tools: Keyboard, arpeggiator, chord, scale, riff generator, transpose, velocity, split, merge, channel filter, note filter, CC transform, convert, voice allocator, monitor, looper, pattern to MIDI file, MIDI file player, and more
- 32 UI Widgets: Knobs, vertical sliders, range sliders, XY pads, buttons, combo boxes, filmstrip, image, pendulum, sampler view, sample map, envelope view, state morpher, and more
- 71 Logic, Math & Data Nodes: Everything you need for complex modulation routing, conditional logic, data transformation, and advanced signal flow
Design Your Own Interface
MNodes doesn’t just let you build the sound — it lets you build the instrument. The UI designer lets you arrange widgets, assign controls, and craft a visual layout that’s entirely your own. Switch to Perform mode and you’ve got a polished, expressive instrument ready for the stage or the studio. It looks and feels like a plugin you’d buy — because it is one. Yours.
It’s Yours to Keep, Share, or Sell
Everything you create in MNodes belongs entirely to you. Build a synth, a multi-effects processor, a generative sequencer, a full performance instrument — then drag it into your DAW, share it with collaborators, give it away, or sell it. Anyone with MNodes can load and play your creation. There are no royalties, no restrictions, no catches. You made it; it’s yours.
Under the Hood
MNodes ships as a VST3, AU, and Standalone application for both Windows and macOS. It includes a built-in VST3 host so you can wire third-party plugins directly into your node graph. Polyphonic modules support up to 16 voices. Microtonal systems — EDO, just intonation, and Scala — are baked in. The vocoder runs up to 100 bands. The parametric EQ spans six bands. OTT and multiband dynamics are right there in the node library. This is a deep, professional environment that grows with you — and with its community.
Up to 3 activations, works offline, and backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. One licence, yours forever — no subscription, ever.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Yes. MNodes is available as VST3 and AU, so it works in any DAW that supports those formats — including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, and more. It also runs as a fully standalone application.
A: Not at all. You can load ready-made instruments and effects from the Hub with a single click, or use the LAB to generate brand-new plugins instantly — no patching required. If you do want to build your own instruments from the 332+ node library, it’s all done visually by connecting nodes, with zero code involved.
A: The LAB is MNodes’ one-click plugin generator. Hit the wand icon and it builds a completely unique, fully playable instrument from scratch — with its own sound design and its own control layout. Every result is different. If you don’t love it, click again. When you find something you like, you can keep it, tweak it, and save it as your own.
A: Yes. MNodes includes a built-in VST3 host node, which lets you drop any VST3 plugin directly into your node graph. You can then route MNodes’ modulation sources — LFOs, envelopes, sequencers, and more — into any of the plugin’s parameters.
A: Absolutely. Anything you create in MNodes is entirely yours — there are no royalties, no licensing restrictions, and no catches. You can share your creations freely, sell them however you like, or distribute them to collaborators. Any MNodes user can load and play what you’ve built.
A: Your MNodes licence allows up to 3 activations. It also works fully offline, so you’re not dependent on an internet connection to use it once activated.
A: Yes. MNodes comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it’s not for you, you can get a full refund within 30 days of purchase — no questions asked.
A: Yes. The node library, the Hub, and the wider MNodes ecosystem are actively growing — with new instruments, effects, and nodes being added by Mario and the community on an ongoing basis. It’s a one-time purchase with no subscription, and all updates are included.
