Grab Sound and See Where It Goes
Designed for performers, the Modal Electronics Element One allows you to dive into an entire universe of stunning synth textures without deep programming, menu diving, or endless tweaking. There’s nothing lightweight about its sound, however. 8-voice polyphony and 64 virtual-analog oscillators give rise to a full arsenal of punchy rhythms, evolving textures, layered sounds, and more. Additionally, this virtual-analog synthesizer boasts 37 full-size keys with velocity and aftertouch, enabling it to respond intuitively to the nuances of your playing. You also get a 4-axis joystick and four assignable performance controls, providing you with robust tone-bending expression. Beyond that, the Element One features a built-in arpeggiator for creating mind-bending patterns and a vast array of ear-grabbing effects. You also get a 500-patch memory, which includes 300 exciting factory presets. Finally, like all Modal Electronics instruments, the Element One is highly customizable via the free MODALapp.
