Modal Electronics SKULPT Synthesizer

Full Description

Deep sound design

Go even deeper with your sound design, SKULPT has a wide array of features that allows for total control over the sounds you create. There are 32 oscillators in total across four voices - so your sounds begin to take shape the moment you start the design process. The eight oscillators feature two selectable waveforms that are morphable, offering up the full scope to SKULPT your sound. Of course, there is an envelope – three of them to be exact - and also two audio rate LFO’s to help add movement and variety to your sounds.

There is a rich sounding resonant filter that can be morphed through low, band, and high pass – perfect for further sound-craft and can be used to great effect during performances. After this, you can apply effects like delay and distortion to really add the finishing touches to your sonic creations. Once you’ve created a sound you're proud of store it in one of the 128 patch locations for quick access. The small form and powerful synthesis of the SKULPT really help set it apart from the rest.

Features galore

Despite its small stature and incredibly attractive price, the SKULPT packs in a ton of features that will allow it to compete with the super high end of the synthesizer spectrum. First of all, there is the arpeggiator – this gives the SKULPT a very performative edge, giving you the freedom to change parameters on the fly to add huge dynamism to your music. There is MIDI clock sync for LFO’s and Delay. You can even chain up to four units together to create even richer soundscapes – with 16 voices! And it’s battery powered so you can take it anywhere.
