Company founder Corry Banks will be on hand to demonstrate the latest Modbap offerings, showcasing features and answering any questions attendees may have.
Come visit Modbap at Knobcon and experience first-hand its family of performative, inspiring tools and take your rack to the next level. Modules on display during Knobcon will include the following:
Get hands on with CLRS
CLRS (pronounced “colors”) is a dynamic reimagining of Modbap’s HUE audio color and textural processing effect module, designed to enhance and transform source audio in studio and live performance settings. In 10HP format and with full stereo sound output, CLRS is the perfect audio processing tool for artists looking to add character and depth to their sound. This flexible new module is equally suitable as an addition to any Eurorack case or as an effects processor for gear like drum machines and grooveboxes.
HUE: What color is your sound?
As an audio color and textural processing tool, Hue features five effects to influence your sound: Drive, Filter, Tape Saturation, LoFi (bit depth and sample rate), and a one knob compressor. Whether Hue is applied on drums or melodies, users can alter their soundscapes with bold strokes of color, or used for lighter textures. Just 6 HP wide, Hue is a fantastic end-of-chain processor that is a perfect last step before going to tape or to the house PA system. www.modbap.com/products/hue
Meridian: blending and converging sonic elements
Meridian is a a dual multimode filter array that can blend sounds at a single meeting point or through a convergence of different elements. While filters are often used to blend, shape, and refine different sounds into a cohesive whole, Meridien is able to delineate different frequencies and aural elements, generating a defined contrast that can provide shape to an overall sound. Meridian offers users a choice of four selectable filter types per side, and four selectable filter modes per side. Additionally, it includes two effects: drive and phase shift. www.modbap.com/products/meridian
Osiris: powerful wavetable oscillator with pitch quantization
Osiris is a powerful bi-fidelity™ wavetable oscillator with 6+ timbre modes including various waveshaping and phase modulation, an independent sub-oscillator, LoFi processing, extensive CV modulation capabilities, a pitch quantizer, 4 banks of 32×32 wavetables each, the ability to load user wavetables via microSD (not included) and its own free open-source wavetable editor (OsirisEdit). Osiris’ sub-oscillator can function as its own independent oscillator, providing maximum flexibility and allowing Osiris to be utilized as two separate oscillators. www.modbap.com/products/osiris
Per4mer: DJ inspired quad effects for live and studio
Inspired by time-honored DJ effects processing boxes, Per4mer allows for real time and CV / Gate controlled Eurorack effects performance interaction, bringing DJ style live improvisation to a modular environment. A highly intuitive quad effects module featuring Delay, Reverb, Glitch & Tape Stop as well as audio processing tools including color and compressor with side chain, Per4mer packs a punch for beats and melodies in just 14 HP. www.modbap.com/products/per4mer
Transit: the ultimate mix utility, in a small footprint
Transit is the ultimate performance mixer featuring two stereo (dual mono) channel lanes of audio with an all-analog signal path. Each stereo channel has its own input gain control, mute button and ducking input, which operates similar to traditional side chaining on a compressor. Measuring just 6 HP, Transit provides a main stereo output controlled by the master volume control knob and an independent 3.5mm headphone output, which is controlled by its own headphone level control knob. Digitally controlled LEDs for master indicates level via white and pink illumination while each channel lane illuminates the LEDs with the color red when engaging mutes.www.modbap.com/products/transit
