Modulus 002 12 voice hybrid poly |
| Description |
Up for sale is this monster of a synth, from the pre litigation era of Modal Electronics. The earlier units were Modulus branded produced before the company was forced to change name. The synth has been professionally serviced, in collector grade condition and full working order.
Legacy opinion suggests the early units which are quite rare sound the best, before cost-cutting was introduced in an attempt to save the company from bankruptcy (e.g. transitioning from elegant leather sides to the black painted panels later etc.)
It is a no expense held, 12 voice hybrid polysynth designed by genius Paula Maddox considered by many to be the successor to the PPG by combining high resolution digital oscillators (NCOs) with analog morphing ladder filters. From huge evolving pads and shimmering digital textures to rich bases and expressive leads, it has a distinctive sound and a wonderfully hands-on interface.
Running the latest OS 1.03 this particular example benefits from:
- recent professional servicing
- brand new like for like Fatar keybed giving the next owner a fresh, responsive playing action as it came out from the factory
- the very rare digital I/O expansion card already fitted adding effects alongside USB audio mixing
- original modulus branding and brown leather sides that give it the unmistakable appearance of the early instruments.
Included in the sale is the official dustcover, original box, and a printed manual. |
