Physical Audio have released Modus, a physical modeling synth, available at the intro price of £59.00 / $69.00, increasing to £99.00 / $119.00.
Enter a sonic imaginarium where hard physics meets soft synth processing. Modus is a virtual world of conceptual instruments, modelled with cutting edge physical behaviours and acoustic properties.
Modus uses Physical Audio’s latest research in collision modelling to connect acoustic elements together. Strings, plates, springs and rattles collide, literally, in algorithmic air to generate tones that resonate and react just like they would outside the virtual realm. These elements are combined in different ways to create three types of instruments.
Each voice has up to four connected strings which can be plucked or act as resonators. The strings are connected by either rattles that give collision effects as the strings vibrate, or nonlinear springs. Physical parameters control the decay, mass and harmonic content along with individual semitone and fine tuning controls.
Features include:
- 120+ Presets
- Generate sound from combinations of strings and plates
- Connect resonant elements via springs or rattles
- Edit string Damping, Tone, Tuning, Mass Ratio and Stretch
- Edit plate Damping, Tone, Mass and Fundamental
- Customize pluck type (string) and driver response (plate)
- Multi-Strike mode for repeated hits
- Dual LFOs, high and low shelf EQs, signal mixer
- Effects from low-pass ladder filter, Drive, Delay & Reverb
- Fully MPE-compatible
Modus is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
