Hybrid Synthesizers

The Modulus.002 Blends Classic Analog Sounds with Digital Capabilities

— July 22, 2014 — Tech
The Modulus.002 is a next-generation synthesizer that blends analog sound creation techniques with digital capabilities that allow musicians to recreate the kinds of sounds made famous by vintage organs, keyboards and other retro instruments.

This hybrid synth is fitted with an integrated LCD screen that displays the control parameters of knobs engaged with by the user. Players can choose between between a range of modes that allow for a large amount of control on sound creation.

Users can connect the Modulus.002 to their home or studio network using the built-in Ethernet port. This allows musicians to collaborate with others online or access Modulus' cloud-based server platform to store and share sounds, sequences and settings.

The Modulus.002 will be made available in August for $5,200. Musicians interested in knowing what kinds of sounds the instrument creates can listen to samples on Modulus' SoundCloud page.
