Local First
All synthesis runs on-device. No cloud DSP, no remote presets, no account requirement. Everything that makes sound lives inside the binary.
MIKEY MK-78 by MDRN
Optimized. Automated. Crafted by robots.
MIKEY MK-78 is a performance-grade 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer with a native C++ DSP core. Ships as a standalone macOS app, a VST3 plugin, and an Audio Unit plugin. Single-file binary, zero external dependencies.
Zero Telemetry
MK-78 does not track usage. We do not log what patches you build, what notes you play, or how often you open the app. The audio stays between you and the speakers.
Multi-Format Native
Standalone Mac app, VST3 plugin, and Audio Unit (AU) plugin from a single C++ engine. One sound, three sockets, no host lock-in.
Distribution
MIKEY MK-78 is being prepared for the Mac App Store as a standalone macOS app, with VST3 and Audio Unit plugin builds following. We will update this page when the listings go live.
