The Modal 002 hybrid synth now has a little brother, the 001 duophonic and bitimbral model that is introduced at Musikmesse today.

Features of this new Modal 001:

Hybrid analog and digital architecture
2-voice duophonic and bitimbral synth that uses the same architecture as the 002
2 oscillators per voice and two sub-oscillators that can be switched to operate with a traditional square waveform or have the same wave as the main oscillator, so you can benefit from 4 oscillators per voice
50+ different waveforms ranging from classic analog to digital creations

2 LFOs, one per voice and one global

Arpeggiator with multiple modes, including Hold
