Fourteen analog-modelled effect modules across two rack pages, a rack of LFOs, envelope followers and randomisers, plus Conductor, Compass and two step sequencers — all in a rack you build yourself. Nothing is wired until you wire it.
14 analog-modelled effects
Fourteen effects on two rack pages, each with an input and an output on the front panel.
5 modulators and two sequencers
Five modulators. LFO, envelope follower and randomiser, eight of each, plus Conductor and Compass. Every one patches into anything.
Route any output into any input
Two 8 step sequencers and 300 presets. Describe what you want, randomise, or cable it yourself.
Make the sound move. In five different ways.
What sets MOD-FX apart from other multi-effects is its numerous ways to modulate each parameter. Explore those options below.
LFO: Five shapes, free or locked.
Five shapes, free in Hz or locked to the host, in triplet or dotted time. Patch it into anything on the rack.
- RATE
- DEPTH
- 5 SHAPES
- HZ OR SYNC
Envelope follower: Your playing, turned into movement.
The level of what you play becomes a control signal. Loud notes push harder, quiet ones let go.
- RISE
- FALL
- SENSITIVITY
- AMOUNT
Randomiser: Stepped, smooth or drunk.
Random motion, clocked or free. It rolls a new value and you decide how far it can land and how it gets there.
- RATE
- CHAOS
- GLIDE
- 3 MODES
Advanced modulators: Compass and Conductor.
Compass is a joystick mixer: an effect on each of four corners, blended by hand, with drift and X/Y inputs to move the stick from anywhere in the rack. Conductor is six metal touch plates: strike one for a throw or move your hand across it, and whatever you play is recorded and loops in time with the track.
- 4 CORNERS
- 6 PLATES
- RECORDS IN TIME
Step sequencers: Two 8 step sequencers.
Two independent sequencers of eight steps each. Point either one at any fader or knob in the rack, running in time with the track.
- 2 × 8 STEPS
- ANY FADER OR KNOB
- IN TIME
New in 2.0
- A new look: the whole plugin is drawn from 3D renders of the case. Turn between the two pages with the arrow at the bottom edge.
- A walkthrough the first time you open it, made of short things to do rather than things to read. Skip it any time, and replay it from HELP > Replay the walkthrough.
- RANDOMISE now deals across both pages, including COMPASS and the Conductor, and can be held to one page.
- The factory pack grows from 241 presets to 300. The new ones are marked NEW, and every preset ships with a preview picture.
- When there’s an update, an UPDATE AVAILABLE button lights up in the header. Click it to see what’s new and download it.
