Description | Modal 002 is a 12-voice analogue-digital hybrid synthesizer featuring two high-resolution NCO oscillators per voice (plus two sub oscillators), Modal designed four-pole transistor ladder filter with real analogue morphing, VCA, two LFOs, 2 modulation matrixes and very powerful Sequencer and Arpeggiator.
The hardware has been manufactured with high-quality components: FATAR semi-weighted five octave key mechanism with aftertouch, white metal case, aluminum turned encoders and high quality 4.3” LCD screen. Among the many connections, Modal 002 features an ethernet port to connect your synth to your network and enable updates via the internet (no need for MIDI sysex dumps) and also access to the Modal cloud features and HTML Web User Interface. |

| Velocity |
As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. |
Aftertouch |
Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel. |
| Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise. |
