Polyverse - Supermodal

POWERFUL FILTER | MODERN SOUND

Supermodal is a powerful and unique filter with unparalleled sound design capabilities that will make your music resonate. It remodels ordinary tracks utilizing its powerful Modal filter that emulates sonic characteristics modeled from a wide range of resonating bodies. Combined with a parallel state-variable filter and expansive modulation system, a single audio signal can be manipulated into a wide array of frequencies to create shimmering cinematic soundscapes, pulsating rhythms, pads with harmonic motion, or anything else you can dream up.

WHAT IS A MODAL FILTER?

When an object is struck, or excited, it vibrates and makes a recognizable sound. Those vibrations travel and bounce through the object material and interact to create standing waves, resulting in resonating frequencies called modes. Watch the video to learn more.

27 SOUND MODELING MODES

The Modal Filter utilizes hundreds of surgically precise bandpass filters to model the resonant bodies of various instruments, objects, waveforms, and more. We created 9 models, each with 3 variations for a total of 27 modes including a range of flangers, phasers, vocal filters, physical and even mathematically modeled resonators. With decay, dampening and partial settings, Supermodal provides fine-tuned control to either subtly or dramatically fashion these unique sonic characteristics into your sound palette.

SHOW STOPPING MANIPULATION

The glamor of Supermodal is fully unveiled when combining its powerful filters with its robust modulation system. The 4 modulation slots offer 6 modulation sources including – Meta knob, ADSR, Envelope follower, Sequencer, MIDI/CV triggers, and Randomizer. You can also cross modulate between slots to create even more intense modulation. Both the State-Variable filter and Modal filter operate in stereo allowing you to modulate the left and right signal independently, together, or separate to deliver awe-inspiring stereo effects. Virtually all parameters in Supermodal can receive modulation.

SVF FILTER WITH FAT NON LINEAR DRIVE

Supermodal’s classic State-Variable filter smoothly blends between high-pass, band-pass and low-pass while working in parallel with the Modal filter. The SVF filter uses a 24dB per-octave slope that is familiar to many classic analog synthesizers, with the ability to boost its resonance to self-resonate. It can be further driven with the Drive feature to add warmth and thicken the signal. Crossfade between the state-variable and Modal filter with its Blend slider for seamless morphing.
