Modulus is a versatile polyphonic synthesizer designed for Ableton Live, offering a rich palette of sound design possibilities. With multiple selectable waveforms, you can shape your sound with precision, exploring both traditional and experimental tones. Modulus features advanced frequency and amplitude modulation capabilities, allowing you to craft dynamic and evolving sounds. The integrated envelope filter adds another layer of control, shaping the attack, decay, sustain, and release of your sound with finesse.

What sets Modulus apart is its flexible modulation options. Both the frequency and amplitude modulations can be independently set to as an LFO frequency rate or synced to Ableton Live's tempo, giving you the power to create rhythmically complex patterns or fluid, free-running modulations. Whether you’re crafting deep basses, lush pads, or intricate leads, Modulus delivers a robust toolset for the modern producer.
