"??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)."

"Modal Electronics' Modulus.002 12-voice polysynth is an analog/digital hybrid keyboard synthesizer that bridges the gap between analog sound and digital convenience. Providing you twelve discrete voices of polyphony with the option of full multi-timbrality, you can play split keyboard parts or build a densely layered soundscape. The 002 features two NCOs and an LFO for each voice along with two sub-oscillators with individually variable waveforms that essentially give you four oscillators per voice. Add to those a global LFO, a range of modulation options, easy navigation, and semi-weighted keys with expressive aftertouch, and the Modal Electronic Modulus.002 synthesizer becomes the clear choice for an electronic musician who wants to evolve with the music-making landscape."

"This is also the version with leather sides."

Update: according to the creator of the Modulus 002, Paula Maddox, this is one of the first 50. "Firstly the shine, the first were a gloss finish, the others more satin.
There's also a spelling mistake ;)"

Paula of course is the woman behind Modal Electronics, and previously, vacoloco.

"Old Nik says: "The MonoWave(X) is a early GEM from Paula Maddox... The unknown (to many) ancestor of the Modal Electronics 001/002! It's super! Think PPG Wave and Moog Model D had a baby, and that is the MonoWave(X)..."

Manufacturer Description:
The Monowave was the brainchild of UK electronics designer, Paula Maddox. Paula has been designing and building synths for many years as well as releasing her own unique music realized on her impressive modular creations.

Paula wanted to build a synth the roots of which lay in the PPG. Originally intended as a monophonic bass synth, the Monowave has uses beyond that.

The Monowave is a wavetable synthesiser with 256 waves available for each of the two oscillators. Each oscillator also has a sub-oscillator. The filter is a copy of the Moog filter, there are separate envelope generators for the filter and amplifier, and a simple LFO. The panel is very 'retro' and 'traditional' with knobs for every function and a simple display. Internally, the circuitry is all analogue (except for the digital circuitry used in the oscillators)... no wimpy DSP thank you very much - this is a 'real' synth!!

Paula has now released the MonoWave as GPL and has given me permission to release the PCB and a Component Kit for those that unfortunately missed the first, limited run.

The new MonoWave (X) is a rebuild of Paula's popular MonoWave I and is being re-released with her permission. The new design reduces the original multi-pcb design down to 2 pcbs.

In addition, the front panel design incorporates a 2x16 LCD Module (the original MonoWave only had a 1x16 Module) allowing software developers to extend the user-interface.

"From PPG, to strings and all else in between including evolving pads and an incredible on-board sequencer, network-enabled automatic OS and patch updates, and so so much more... perhaps the most pinnacle synth to behold and one of the most musical and inspiring keyboard experiences to sit down to and get lost in. This is as close to synth nirvana as it gets!"
