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."

"??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)."

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."

1. Depeche Mode Enjoy the Silence synth cover Clavia Nord Modular G1 Atari ST Steinberg Cubase

All drum and synth sounds produced simultaneously by the Nord Modular without any multi-tracking.

This is my attempt at creating a ‘one synth’ cover of Enjoy the Silence, using only 4 sound patches on my Clavia Nord Modular G1 (with DSP Expansion), sequenced using Steinberg Cubase 3.1 on my old Atari ST.

Just for fun, I thought it might be interesting to use Logic Pro, synchronised to Cubase on the Atari using MIDI Time Code, to playback the original DM vocals (on track 1) in sync with the audio coming from the Nord Modular. Tracks 2 and 3 are recording the audio coming from the Nord Modular, along with reverb from my Soundcraft mixer recording on track 4.

Playlist:-
0.06 Nord Modular + original DM vocals
4.28 Individual sounds and sequences
8.03 Nord Modular instrumental

Nord Modular Patches:-
Slot A = Drums (CPU = 89.3% Poly = 1)
Slot B = Bassline and Bells (CPU = 49.4% Poly = 3)
Slot C = Vox Chords, Phaser Strings and Vox Melody (CPU = 76% Poly = 7)
Slot D = Guitar, Filter Sweep Bass and Synth (CPU = 95.7% Poly = 4)

Nord Modular audio outputs:-
1+2 = Dry / No effects
3+4 = Hall reverb from my Soundcraft mixer
