Modal Electronics 002R

General

Modal Electronics' 002R is a rack synthesizer packed with possibilities. Internally, it's the same as the 002 model that has a keyboard and it has the same beautiful 4.3-inch display too. It's a subtractive synthesizer with twelve voices and two oscillators per voice. Each oscillator also has a sub oscillator essentially giving you four per voice. The sub oscillators can take the same waveform as the main oscillator or have a traditional square wave. The 24 dB filter is special too: it can morph from four pole to band pass to one pole 6 dB per octave and everything in between. There are also two syncable LFOs, one per voice and a global one. This top-quality synth will undoubtedly find a central place in any professional studio or live setup.

There's also a parameter sequencer and an extensive arpeggiator on board. Other highlights include support for MPE (for polyphonic expression) and a web interface for operation via a browser. In addition to standard MIDI, there's also USB-MIDI host that allows you to connect a USB device, like a MIDI controller, without a computer. The 002R even has XLR/jack combo outputs!
