Manufacturer "Modal"
Modal Electronics was founded in 2013 and is based in Bristol, UK. At the time, the development team felt that vintage and even some current synthesizers lacked the spirit of innovation associated with those instruments of previous decades. It was time for long overdue updates to the sounds, aesthetics and old school concepts. The Modal 002 marked a milestone in synthesizer history as it represented a reinterpretation of what a synthesizer was supposed to be at the time. It was the first poly-digital/analog hybrid synthesizer with a transistor ladder filter (like Minimoog). The first with a memory for 10,000 sounds and an ethernet connection to access an integrated web server to edit all parameters. Today, the 00 Series is legendary, and its legacy inspires Modal's entire line. In 2018, the two desktop synthesizers SKULPT and CRAFTsynth 2.0 were presented, which offered a high functional density in a compact space and at the same time good operation with the fantastic sound of the big 00 models. A year later (2019) the product portfolio was expanded to include the ARGON8 family. With the experience gained, it was now possible to deliver a new wavetable synth with the unmistakable modal sound. With a lot of commitment and attention to detail, the manufacturer always manages to inspire with fresh ideas.
