As of version 4.0, modules available include:

Subtractor: a subtractive synthesizer
Malström: a graintable synthesizer
NN-19: a simple sampler, which loads pre-recorded instrumental and vocal sounds
NN-XT: an advanced sampler, which features the option of tweaking the various modulation, oscillation and filter parameters of a preloaded sample or patch
Dr Rex: a loop playback device, which slices prerecorded samples into manageable, bitesize units
Redrum: a sample based drum machine with a step sequencer
Thor: a semi-modular synthesizer which features, among others, wavetable, FM and phase distortion synthesis
