Model 15
Model 15 is a macOS modular synthesizer app that recreates a classic Moog instrument for sound design, performance, sequencing, and recording.
What is Model 15?
Model 15 is a native macOS music app that recreates the classic Moog modular synthesizer in software for sound design, performance, and synthesis learning. It is built for musicians, producers, and sound designers who want a patch-cable modular workflow without dedicated hardware. Users can build signal paths visually, shape tones with classic oscillator and filter modules, and explore presets and tutorial patches while learning how modular synthesis works. The app also supports sequencing and expressive control for composing patterns, experimenting with modulation, and performing in real time. On Mac, it fits well into studio workflows for creating synth parts, textures, drones, basses, leads, and experimental sounds. Moog Music publishes Model 15 as part of its software synthesizer lineup for Apple platforms.
Key features
- Build modular signal chains with a virtual patch-cable interface.
- Create sounds with classic Moog-style oscillators, filters, and utility modules.
- Explore preset libraries and tutorial patches for learning and quick starting.
- Sequence patterns and arpeggiated parts for performance and composition.
- Record loops and performances directly in the app.
- Share presets and recordings with other users and compatible workflows.
- Use MIDI controllers for hands-on playing and expressive control.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
This is a legitimate music creation app for macOS. Its normal behavior includes access to audio devices, MIDI controllers, local files you choose to open or save, and related music-production features. Those permissions are expected for a software synthesizer. If you remove it, the main effect is losing access to its presets, recordings, and modular synthesis workflow unless you have exported or backed up your work elsewhere.
Recommendation: Keep Model 15 if you use it for synthesis, recording, or sound design on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app like other music software, but export any recordings or custom presets you want to keep first.
