New Physical Modeling Synthesiser

US Physical Audio releases Modus 11/07/23

Physical Audio describes Modus as a physical modelling synth where interconnected strings and plates work together in a wide range of configurations to create a brand new approach to synthesis.

A spokesperson told us, "Enter a sonic imaginarium where science and creativity combine to push the boundaries of sound. Modus is a physical modelling synth where interconnected strings, bars and plates go together to form conceptual instruments that could never exist yet are astoundingly true to life.
