MODOR Reveals the NF-1k

Priced at 2950€

Details via MODOR Music

The Modor NF-1k synthesizer is the keyboard version of our original desktop synth: the Modor NF-1. You can read everything about the NF-1 and its sound engine over here.

The NF-1k has:

- a 49-key weighted keyboard by Fatar

- with polyphonic aftertouch

- a large (50cm) touch strip for pitch bends

- and 2 smaller (10cm) touch strips for modulation (mod'wheel' and CC3).

However, the NF-1k is more than just an NF-1 with a keyboard:

- An extra, newly developed voice board doubles the polyphony of the NF-1 to 16 voices, and makes it 2-part multitimbral. So 2 NF-1 patches can be layered, split over the keyboard or independently sequenced over MIDI.

- We added a programmable and midi syncable ARPEGGIATOR to it: Up, Down, Up+Down, Program and Random options.

- A very simple to use CHORD mode and a HOLD function have been added.

- and finally there's a UNISON mode with detuning and stereo spread.

Together, all these features controlling 2 entire NF-1 sound engines with their unusual but highly musical filters and waveforms, the NF-1k is an incredible inspiration machine. Already while building and programming, we constantly found ourselves carried away, just playing for hours, enjoying to play and create new musical riffs and themes on this machine... 😎 🎹 🎶

DR-2 jam - using a polyclock on the BD

video upload by Modor Music

"A little jam on the Modor DR-2, using a 10:16 polyrhythmic clock on the kick and claps.
The kicks fall in most patterns on the 1st, 3rd and 4th step of a 5 step-pattern compressed into the time of 4 beats. The bottle ticking on top works as a regular 4/4 'metronome'.
Models used: String Bassdrum, Filter Claps, Hihat, Marching Snare, Bottle and Crash Cymbal.
The Marching Snare gets some random extra hits on top of the programmed pattern, for a constant little variation in the pattern."

"There is only one single new feature, but it's not an unimportant one: parameter locks! What's that?

A parameter lock sets a value for a certain parameter on a certain drum hit in the sequencer. They are used to program variations of synthesis parameters inside a drum pattern. Programming (or recording) a parameter lock is very simple: keep a step button pressed in the sequencer (1...16) and turn a knob. Now the drum hit on this sequencer step has that altered parameter, while the next drum hit returns to normal.

Note that a parameter lock doesn't necessarily have to be at the beginning of a drum hit. You can also put one on a grid step somewhere halfway a drum hit to alter the sound at that moment.

Also note that you aren't limited to one parameter. You can program parameter locks for different parameters, even on a single sequencer step.

Want to remove a parameter lock? Keep the step button down while pressing NO(/EXIT)."
