Modal Electronics 002 Synthesizer

The Modal Electronics 002 is a 12 voice analogue/digital hybrid synthesizer. Analogue / digital hybrid architecture use NCOs for very high resolution, and very stable oscillators. Over 50 different waveforms, ranging from classic analogue sounds to more unique digital shapes modulus designed 24db per octave four pole transistor ladder filter, with some very unusual morphing characteristics or ´polesweeping´, enabling transition from four pole through bandpass to one pole 6db per octave, or anywhere in between two LFO's, one per voice and one global extensive modulation options, all accessed directly from the front panel with no menu options.

Modulus 002 features a range of sequencing options and built in 12 Track, 12 row, 32 step sequencer with 16 dedicated step time editing knobs on the front panel and MIDI sync capabilities. Sequences can also be transposed dynamically while running a very highly featured arpeggiator with a wide range of different modes, including modulus ´hold´ mode, enabling arpeggiator-based sequences to be created the Modulus Animator, which enables any control parameter on the Modulus 002 to be sequenced, enabling very complex filter transitions, wave form changes and modulation matrix changes to be sequenced.

The main features of the Modal Electronics 002 include:

• 12 voice polyphonic
• 12 part full multi-timbrality
• Pure analogue signal path from the oscillators onwards, no digital conversion
• 24db per octave four pole transistor ladder filter
• VCF and VCA envelope generators
• Two LFO's, one per voice and one global
• Four Key Modes - Polyphonic, Monophonic, Unison and Stack
• Very high quality construction, uses a premium FATAR semi-weighted five octave key mechanism with aftertouch
• Display features a very high quality 4.3" screen with wide viewing angle, display is context sensitive where the control parameters of any control knob that is touched by the user, is immediately displayed
• Combined XLR/TRS sockets for balanced / unbalanced outputs
