"Monophonic Wavetable Synthesiser - Available soon on Kickstarter
Modal Electronics are proud to announce the next generation of the successful CRAFTsynth – their ModalCRAFTsynth 2.0.
A true evolution of the species, Modal CRAFTsynth 2.0 draws on the raw synthesis power of the original CRAFTsynth but adds a huge range of new features and again raises the benchmark on what a compact, portable battery powered synthesiser can do.
Incorporating the design ethos first seen in the the recently released Modal SKULPTsynthesiser, CRAFTsynth 2.0 delivers unprecedented sonic versatility and sound design potential, in a completely portable package.
CRAFTsynth 2.0 retains many of the core features of the original such as
CRAFTsynth 2.0 packs real oscillator power: a total of 40 waveforms to choose from, and with the ability to select and morph between the waveforms in a bank, CRAFTsynth 2.0’s eight oscillator banks cover Virtual Analogue, Digital and Generative waves as well as a selection from the Modal Electronics 002 Polyphonic Synthesiser. All in a battery powered device that fits in your hand!
Taking sound design potential into new territory, CRAFTsynth 2.0 features 16 oscillator modulation ‘Modifiers’ that allow the user to process and cross modulate between CRAFTsynth 2.0’s two oscillator sets to create truly unique, new and exciting sonic textures.
A quick overview of its features shows CRAFTsynth v2.0 really pushes the bar up in terms of power-to-footprint ratio:
