"(Please note: This demo was shot a while ago, and several updates have improved the DR-2 even further.) Built into a solid metal chassis, the MODOR DR-2 is a drum machine unlike many others. It sounds refreshingly different from the dozens of X0X clones out there, yet it's still powerful enough to shake club walls.

With its old-school display, spacious interface, and faders, it definitely delivers the kind of '90s nostalgia that I really enjoy. Its different drum machine models offer a vast spectrum of possible sounds, and the MODOR is clearly on the digital side of the sonic spectrum.

It's a lot of fun to perform with (although I occasionally exaggerated the volume a bit while recording this demo). Take your time, learn the machine inside and out, and I'm sure you'll get even better results. I especially like the faders, and programming is quite straightforward. It's a little different from the step sequencers many users are familiar with, but it has its own logical workflow once you get the hang of it.

As a small company from Belgium, Modor Music has certainly found its niche as a boutique manufacturer with its own unique approach to synthesizer design. I congratulate them on creating this fantastic drum machine and welcome its refreshing take on what a modern drum machine can be.#drummachines #synth #synthesizer #technoproducer"

Modor NF-1k Synth OS002 Firmware Upgrade

video upload by Modor Music

"A first firmware upgrade for our big keyboarded NF-1k synth. We construct a big atmospherical patch to show the new features one by one.
Use SRC+a key on the keyboard to select aftertouch or velocity in the modulation matrix
Easier access to Arpeggio and Unison parameters: keep down ARPEGGIO / MODE buttons a second to get a little menu New Speed Random parameter for the arpeggio
And also, not mentioned in the video:
a few inconsistencies have been improved, like aftertouch response in arpeggios and chords.

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."
