  • Modal 001 is a 2 voice duophonic and bi timbral synthesiser utilising the same voice architecture as its bigger brother 002
  • Two oscillators per voice with two sub oscillators, which can be switched from being either traditional square wave to having the same waveform as the main oscillator – in effect making four oscillators per voice
  • Analogue / digital hybrid architecture uses NCOs for very high resolution, and very stable oscillators. Over 50 different waveforms, ranging from classic analogue sounds to more unique digital shapes
  • Modal Electronics 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, both with midi sync
  • VCF and VCA envelope generators
  • Extensive modulation options
  • 001 features a range of sequencing options – a built in 2 Track, 12 row, 32 step sequencer with MIDI sync capabilities. Sequences can also be transposed dynamically while running
  • A very highly featured arpeggiator with a wide range of different modes, including ‘hold’ mode, enabling arpeggiator-based sequences to be created
  • The Modal Animator, a polyphonic note-triggered parameter sequencer for all 001 parameters, allowing for complex filter transitions, waveform changes and much more to be sequenced
  • MPE – supports MPE-compatible MIDI instruments, allowing you to apply polyphonic control and expression to individual notes
  • Ethernet port to connect your 001 to your network and enable updates via the internet (no more midi sysex dumps) and access to the Modal Electronics cloud features
  • Superb UI, a great departure from the norm of synthesisers, featuring 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
  • Six ‘quick recall slots’ are accessible from the front panel, enabling performing musicians to get rid of their set sheets and build set lists of presets. Up to 100 banks of quick recalls can be created, making live performance a doddle
  • Three Key Modes – Polyphonic, Monophonic and Stack
  • Very high quality construction, uses a premium FATAR semi-weighted three octave key mechanism with aftertouch
  • Most voice control parameters are accessible from a well designed and intuitive front panel, that follows a traditional synthesiser work flow
  • Pure analogue signal path from the oscillators onwards, no digital conversion.
  • 4 CV inputs and 4 CV outputs
  • Two audio inputs enabling audio processing from the VCF onwards plus external MIDI in and out
  • XY joystick for performance controls – any control parameter can be assigned to any joystick axis (X+, X-, Y+, Y-)
  • The Modal Web Interface, for use on any HTML5 compatible web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox etc.) on any platform that supports a browser, providing full external control of all of 001’s functions
