Modal SKULPTsynth SE is Shipping Internationally
– 4-voice, go-anywhere virtual-analogue synthesiser with MPE support is now available from Modal Electronics stockists globally –
Bristol, UK • 10th May 2021. Modal Electronics, a leading global synthesiser manufacturer, has just confirmed the immediate availability of the SKULPTsynth SE from all Modal resellers internationally. Fusing a slim form factor with traditionally coloured, black and white touch keypads, easier to read front panel descriptors and improved built quality, SKULPTsynth SE provides the ultimate platform to create without limitation, wherever your creativity takes you.
Under the hood, SKULPTsynth SE features a next-generation synth engine powered by dual WAVE groups per voice, each with four oscillators (a total of 8 oscillators per voice) that allow users to meticulously craft flavourful sonic fundamentals. Timbre adjustment is a breeze thanks to SKULPT SE’s state-variable 2-pole filters that morph from low pass through to bandpass and high pass. With its resonance feature, it picks out rich harmonics at high resonance levels. Shape your sound for optimum articulation with three envelopes that provide extensive control of the dynamics and expressive output of the sound. Finally, two LFOs, one global and one polyphonic, can be synced to internal or external tempo, and the integrated delay and distortion effects give even more options to craft your signature sound.
For extended expressive capability, SKULPT SE supports MPE and is the most affordable MPE hardware synthesiser available on the market today. For creators seeking new musical ways to perform with synthesiser sounds, this MPE support, fused with the integrated real-time sequencer and arpeggiator, are the perfect platforms for immersive, expressive jam sessions.
Packed with 127 all new expertly curated patches, SKULPT SE offers a vast library of contemporary sounds applicable to all genres. Moreover, it is fully backward compatible with the original SKULPTsynthesiser, providing access to the full back catalogue of patches available from Modal’s website and 3rd party sound designers. Managing and creating patches couldn’t be simpler courtesy of the MODALapp, available for all major computer and mobile platforms as a free download from the Modal website.
In tandem with the retail availability of SKULPTsynth SE, Modal Electronics are also releasing a SKULPTsynthesiser firmware update featuring a raft of workflow enhancements plus poly-chain support in mixed configurations with the SKULPTsynth SE.The new Firmware is available via MODALapp.
Powered by USB or 6 x AA batteries, SKULPTsynth SE is the ultimate synth weapon for music creation in every scenario, whether it is in the studio, DJ live sets, DAW-less jams or on the road.
SKULPTsynth SE is available immediately via wide network of authorised Modal retailers globally. Suggested retail prices are £169.99 (UK, incl. VAT), 199.99 € (incl. 20% VAT) and $199.99 (US MAP).

Check out the foot pedal input label on back.
"Only 100 were manufactured several years ago. With this device you can plug into your computer (USB to USB) and play microtonal music after preloading your tunings.
TBX2 outperforms its predecessor (TBX1) in every way. This faster, smaller, sturdier second-generation device not only retunes GM (multichannel) synths, but also monophonic synths, MTS synths, and even proprietary sysex synths. If you thought the 512 tunings TBX1 offered was a lot, try 8,192. That's almost twice the size of the Scala Archive. Each input channel can be assigned to a unique tuning table, providing full compatibility with multichannel controllers like MIDI guitars and MIDI organs, as well as microtonal controllers like the Tonal Plexus, Microzone, Axis 64, and Terpstra keyboards. Supports both MIDI DIN input, and USB-MIDI input. Navigate 40 presets hands-free. Edit existing tunings or create your own with Universal Tuning Editor (UTE) cross-platform software (free license included). Set up your tunings, upload them to the unit, plug in your controller and synth, and start making music. Ready for the stage, its built-in rechargeable battery will run for days. Firmware is user-upgradable via UTE, so features can be improved or added at any time, and you never have to worry about swapping out a chip.
