modular-one

• The TOWN engine gives a carrier, a modulator with feedback, a detunable second modulator and a soft low-pass per voice.
• Sixteen presets sit in two families: SOUFFLES pads and KEYS soft electric pianos.
• Three synth tracks start on SOUFFLE, PRINTEMP and VELOURS EP, and ALGORITHM moves between them.
• Each track has a pattern of 16 to 64 steps, live recording with REC and an arpeggiator with ARP.
• A stereo ping-pong delay, an 80's plate reverb and the island shimmer run on the mix, with chorus and DIST.
• MONT opens the brightness and adds vibrato, NUIT darkens and lengthens the tails, and ILE fades the island in.
• Hold OCT- and OCT+ together for one second to play Satie's 1st Gymnopedie, and play over it at the keyboard.
• Projects save three synth tracks, and USB MIDI from a computer plays the selected track or a fixed one.
