About this listing
Modal Electronics 001 Synthesiser. Sale includes 001, the latest manual on disk and mains lead. This exceptional British synthesiser sounds remarkable, has been extremely well looked after and is priced fairly considering it’s quality and rarity. It has the latest OS installed and the original leather side cheeks. This will be sent with the usual robust packaging and free UK shipping.The Modal 001 is a two voice duo phonic and bi timbral synthesizer, which features a pure analogue signal path and high quality 4.3" screen with wide viewing angle. The 001 features two oscillators per voice, both with sub oscillators which can be switched between either traditional square wave, to having the same waveform as the main oscillator. The construction is extremely high and uses a premium Fatar semi-weighted three octave key mechanism with aftertouch, full leather end cheeks.Modal 001 is a 2-voice duophonic and bi-timbral synthesiser utilising the same voice architecture as its bigger brother 002Two 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 (!) nearly-full-blown oscillators per voiceThe analog / digital hybrid architecture uses NCOs (Numerically Controlled Oscillators) for very high resolution, and very stable oscillators. Basic sound material is a collection of 56 different waveforms, ranging from classic analog sounds to more unique digital shapesPure analog signal path from the oscillators onwards, no digital conversion24dB/oct 4-pole transistor ladder filter, with some very unusual morphing characteristics (‘polesweeping’), enabling transition from 4-pole through bandpass to 1-pole 6db/oct, or anywhere in betweenTwo LFOs (actually: three), one per voice and one global, both with midi syncVCF and VCA envelope generators, ADSR eachModulation matrix: 6 sources, 8 (9) destinations001 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 runningThere’s a highly featured arpeggiator with a wide range of different modes, including ‘hold’ mode, enabling arpeggiator-based sequences to be createdThe Modal animator, a polyphonic note-triggered parameter sequencer for all 001 parameters, allows for complex filter transitions, waveform changes and much more to be sequencedModal 001 connects via ethernet port to your network, which enables updates via the internet (no more midi sysex dumps) and access to the Modal Electronics cloud featuresSuperb and high quality 4.3″ screen with wide viewing angle. The display is context sensitive – the control parameters of any control knob that is touched by the user is immediately displayedSix ‘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 doddleThree Key Modes – polyphonic, monophonic, stackThe 001 features a premium FATAR semi-weighted three octave keyboard with velocity and aftertouch4 CV inputs and 4 CV outputsTwo audio inputs enabling audio processing from the VCF onwardsXY 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, provides full external control of all of 001’s functions
