Current incorporates various sound engines, rich modulation options, and high-quality effects. It also integrates a continuously expanding content library to aid music producers in their ongoing creative endeavors.

The sound engine is broadly divided into oscillators, granular, sub-oscillator, sampler, and morphing filter.

The advanced spectral oscillator allows for various waveform manipulations and provides spectral effects, formant shifting, wave folding, filtering, and more. It also applies cutting-edge anti-aliasing.

The granular engine, which can transform samples into infinite cloud effects or rippling patterns, offers innovative features such as layer sequencing and multi-position playback.

Additionally, a sub-oscillator can be added to generate rich low frequencies.

The sampler, with its built-in advanced time-stretching algorithm, is compatible with Current's vast loop library (mentioned later). The morphing filter, consisting of over 50 modes including morphing, vocal, and comb filters, is also impressive.

Furthermore, features like FM/AM modulator, curve sequencer, envelope, and LFO functions allow Current to be utilized as an excellent synthesizer. The modulation system can be easily connected via drag-and-drop.

Various Minimal Audio FX are also built into Current. Users can access all well-received Minimal Audio products, including Polar Distortion (combining 30 algorithms), Flex Chorus (24 voices), Fuse Compressor (multiband), as well as Cluster Delay, Morph EQ, Hybrid Filter, Ripple Phaser, and Swarm Reverb.

The 'Stream' section, which acts as an integrated content browser, is a standout unique feature of Current.

Stream is a cloud-based content browser that allows users to automatically add and explore new presets, samples, and wavetables even during music production.

Users can access various themed sound packs, high-quality sample libraries, and diverse wavetables in real-time. Optimized text search and tag systems enable quick content searches.

Downloaded content can be used offline without an internet connection afterwards.

Current operates on macOS 10.9 and above (including native Apple Silicon support) and Windows 10 and above, supporting 64-bit AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3 formats.

Currently, Plugin Boutique is running an exclusive discount on Minimal Audio products. Current is being sold for the first time at a 30% discounted price of $139.

The discount runs until September 1st. If purchased in August, customers can receive either Imaginanado's K7D or Softube VCA Compressor for free.
