What Modus does
Modus is built on Physical Audio’s collision modelling research, which connects acoustic elements so they generate tones and react to one another. These elements are combined in three instrument types: connected strings, where each voice has up to four strings that are plucked and linked by rattles or springs to produce nonlinear collision effects, a mode where two strings are connected to a plate, and driven plates, where a driver signal excites a top plate that is linked to a bottom plate. The driver can be a polyphonic sawtooth or sine wave, a multi-strike hit, or sidechained audio, and a single plate connected to ground is also an option.
The release of Modus circulates as a crack for Windows 11 and macOS, usually packed as a repack in .rar or .iso, with the VST3, AU and AAX builds posted as a torrent or magnet link; people search the name with keygen, serial key and iLok emulator alongside win/mac crack, x64 crack and AU crack.
Key features
- Physical strings, plates and springs. Strings, plates, springs and rattles are modelled as elements that collide, and three customisable configurations set how they are connected.
- Connected strings. Each voice holds up to four connected strings, and physical parameters control decay, mass, harmonic content and semitone fine tuning for each string.
- Plate and driven plate modes. The plate acts as a soundboard with variable decay, mass and fundamental frequency, and the driver signal excites the top plate of the driven plate mode.
- Multi-FX section. The built-in effects are EQ, VCF, Drive, Delay and Reverb.
- Two LFOs. Two LFOs modulate parameters in real time.
- Micro tuning and resizable interface. MTS-ESP micro tuning is supported and the user interface can be resized.
Compatibility
Modus is offered as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, with a minimum of Windows 11 and native support for Apple Silicon listed.
