Modal Electronics 008 - Part 2 with I/O and FX Board

video upload by synthlegends

"Demoing some of my custom sounds I made for this amazing synth. Modal made this synth with George Hearn (U.D.O. Audio) around 2015. Only around 300 units were produced. The Synth was no succes, but I think its very underrated. Its a 8 voice poly analog synth with 15 analog Filter modes. You can combine all classic waveforms in two Oscillators an 2 Sub-Oscillators. It has 2 LFO, 2 envelopes and a crazy animator, sequenzer and arpeggiator. It also can play 2 sounds in mulitmode and you can stack the 8 Voices to 4, 2 Voices or unison.

In this video I didn`t use any FX or processing, I only used the internal FX of the I/O Card.

I programmed some Oberheim Style Sweep Pads, Unison sounds bell like Keys and Arps."

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #145: Modal Skulpt - Song 1

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first, quite relaxing recording with the Modal Skulpt. It is a unique sounding, little 4-voice polyphonic virtual analogue synthesizer. The size of the Modal Skulpt is somewhere between the Korg Volca and the Sonicware Liven.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone."

Lofi Ambient w/ YAMAHA CS01, MU15, KORG NTS-1 | Modal Tides 2025-01-16 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the YAMAHA CS01, MU15, and KORG NTS-1.

On the MU15, I play modal harmonies that are processed with reverb and filters using NIGHTSKY. I apply modulation to the pitch to create a wavering effect in the notes.

The NTS-1 plays monophonic phrases that are routed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MKII. I perform while applying its built-in reverb and manipulating the filter.

The sequences for both the MU15 and NTS-1 are controlled from a DAW.

The CS01 produces sounds with a slow attack, which I process through LOSSY and the DD-6 to achieve a lo-fi quality and adjust the tone for a prolonged release."

"??CHECK: individual outs now?**** Destined to be an absolute classic of analogue polysynths - in fact probably there already. This was sold at VEMIA four years ago, and has now returned to the auction looking identical - very little used, probably always stored in its original very well designed carton. Back in 2020 it had the latest software - not sure if there have been any revisions since. We've only tested a tiny part of the abilities of this synth, but everything we tried was perfect (once we realised that you need both outputs connected because the eight-voice structure is always split 4 + 4.....).

This really is a gorgeous design, sounding great, and visually one of the most beautiful synths ever made. MODAL made the probably wise decision to start with no-expense-spared real analogue design before branching out into much lower-cost spinoffs - which are all successful, but in a completely lower league than this and their 002 - also long-since discontinued (and nowhere near as pretty as the 008). We'll cover the carton in card to keep it looking great (6GBP)."

Evening Synths Challenge #2 - Modal Skulpt, VXXY DCM8, Teenage Engineering PO-16 factory

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This session was quite challenging. A VA synth, a rare digital chiptune drum machine and a small bare bone synth. Overall, I'm very happy with the result. The most fun part was playing the melody line live with the PO-16. Although you really have to concentrate to play everything correctly with the very small buttons.

The Setup was:
Synths: Modal Skulpt, VXXY DCM8, Teenage Engineering PO-16 factory
Effects: Oto Machines BOUM, Beetronics FX Seabee, Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, Beetronics FX Swarm
Freely selectable effects: GFI Systems Specular Reverb 2

Recordings:
Drums: VXXY DCM8 - Beetronics FX Seabee - Oto Machines BOUM
Pads: Modal Skulpt - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI Systems Specular Reverb 2
Melody: Engineering PO-16 factory - Beetronics FX Swarm - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI Systems Specular Reverb 2

The Reason:
How do you deal with having too much gear (like me)? It can hamper creativity, but for me there is also a way to use it to boost creativity. Challenge yourself with it!

Here is my challenge:
1. Random selection of three sound generators to use (plus drums can be added with the EZdrummer and a rhythm sample)
2. Random selection of four effect devices to use (plus another two freely selectable effects can be used)
3. Everything has to be finished in one evening (after work until bedtime).

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone."

SAUCY SYNTHS Modal CARBON8 Experimental Synthesizer (No Talking)

video upload by SAUCY SYNTHS

"This SAUCY SYNTH is a synthwave and ambient dream. Meet the all-new Carbon8 by Modal Electronics.

This is my 1st video. I don't know what I'm doing. :) If you dig it, please like, comment, and subscribe!

Released in October 2024, against all odds, it looks as though this company has come successfully out of bankruptcy with a new owner - the manufacturer of Modal synths.

Unlike other launches, due to the transition of new ownership and assets, this new beauty comes to you in stealth mode. A soft launch. No synth mafia or shills reviewing this synth just yet. Unlike previous launches, Modal did not send out a lot of units to influencers for review. They should because this synth is unlike any synth I've ever heard or played before.

It truly invites you to experiment with sound design and has you dive into tangents.

This is my 1st 30-minute interaction with the synth. I barely touched the presets. All sounds you hear are 100% carbon8 sounds without any processing, pedals, or effects. I did have a sustain pedal plugged in to latch / hold to free up my hands to twist those sweet knobs."
