About AIR Music Technology Iona 1.0.0.30 for Mac
Iona is a virtual analog monosynth developed by AIR Music Technology, meticulously modeled on one of the most coveted hardware synths of the '80s and '90s techno and acid house scenes — the Roland SH-101. Available as a VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin for macOS and Windows, and also as an MPC/Force standalone instrument (requiring MPC desktop software version 3.6 or later), Iona requires macOS 12 or later and supports 64-bit processing. Version 1.0.0.30 is the current Mac release, confirmed directly on AIR Music Technology's own developer page, released October 23, 2025. What sets Iona apart from simply owning the vintage hardware it emulates is how it extends the original SH-101 formula for modern production: at its core sits a faithfully modeled sound architecture with pulse-width modulated wave, sawtooth, sub, and noise sources, plus original VCO pitch and modulation controls delivering rich, unmistakably vintage tones. Beyond the core synth engine, Iona adds a 128-step pattern sequencer with a graphical editor and flexible performance controls, a comprehensive built-in FX section (Lo-Fi, Delay, Reverb, and 3-Band EQ), more than 100 factory presets, and five customizable UI skins — all designed to work seamlessly whether running inside a DAW or directly on an MPC or Force standalone system.
